Welcome to the Van-Sized Conflict Survival Guide

Living in a campervan is a masterclass in emotional choreography. You’re sharing three metres of space, one compost bin, and a lifetime of opinions!

Arguments don’t echo; they ricochet.
Silence isn’t passive; it’s a spatial strategy.

This series exists because conflict, in a van, isn’t optional.
It’s ambient. It’s architectural.
It’s built into the cupboard hinges and the way someone breathes while slicing cheese.

You can’t storm off. You can’t slam a door.
You can only pivot emotionally, logistically, and sometimes literally, in a three-point turn.

This guide is for the moments when love meets logistics.
When someone’s socks end up in your cereal cupboard.
When the toilet queue becomes emotional.
When you need space, but the only available zone is the glovebox.

It’s for the couples, the friends, the solo travellers with imaginary arguments.
It’s for the days when the van feels like a sanctuary and the nights when it feels like a pressure cooker.

We’re not here to fix conflict.
We’re here to make it survivable.

With humour. With grace.
With a toolkit that includes snacks, headphones, and the sacred art of the van exit.

Because conflict isn’t a failure, it’s a feature.
And surviving it well is part of the legacy.

Let’s begin gently: one post a week, no need to ruffle feathers.
