Van life living is the embodiment of freedom and adventure. The idea of packing up your possessions and hitting the road with nothing but your van and a sense of wanderlust is incredibly appealing to many people. But when it comes to choosing the best type of van for this way of life, there are several factors to consider.
Firstly, cargo vans are popular among van lifers due to their ample space and customization potential. These vans also tend to be more affordable than other options, making them an attractive choice for those on a budget. However, they can lack some of the amenities that other types may offer such as windows or insulation.

Another option is a camper conversion van which typically has a built-in bed and kitchenette. These vans provide more comfort and convenience than cargo vans but can come at a higher cost.

The Bliss Adventure Mobile is a Nissan NV 3500 High top cargo van that drives beautifully.

Bliss Adventure Mobile

Pros

Drives the best out of all the cargo vans I tested which included Promaster, and Sprinter

Cons

Turning radius is much better with the ProMaster.

Easier to build with square cargo vans such as the ProMaster. The Nissan NV has a slight slant inward at the top.

ProMaster gets better gas milage.

Summary

I love the Nissan NV 3500, but would go with the ProMaster for van build, maneuverability, and gas milage.
