Responsible Vanlifer Sticker
Let everyone know you are a responsible vanlifer by displaying the official VanLife.uk Responsible Vanlifer sticker in your window.
Unfortunately the van life community is getting hit with some pretty negative press lately, some of the complaints include:
Multiple vans parking together for long periods of time in public areas.
Rubbish being left behind.
Noise complaints.
Bushes being used as toilets & emptying toilets in bushes.
Very rude when asked to move on.
Obviously this is a very small part of the van life community that are causing problems, this does however reflect badly on all of us.
What Can We Do?
For those of us that care about our reputation as vanlifers and do not want to be seen in a negative way, I`m sure we can all agree on a set of simple principles:
I WILL DISPOSE OF MY WASTE PROPERLY:
I will never leave any rubbish behind once I leave, I will either take it with me or throw it in the nearest bin.I DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY NOISE:
I will always do my best to keep any noise to a minimum.I DO NOT LIGHT FIRES ON THE GROUND:
I will never light a fire directly on the ground, I use either a fire pit or BBQ.I DO NOT PARK WHERE I AM NOT WELCOME:
I always try to park somewhere that is discreet, I will never cause an obstruction, I will never park on private land without the owners permission and I will always move on if asked politely.I AM CONSIDERATE TOWARDS OTHERS:
I am always respectful of others and will not interfere other than by invitation or by necessity.MY DOG/S ARE UNDER CONTROL AT ALL TIMES:
I always keep my dog/s under control and always pick up after them.I DISPOSE OF MY TOILET & GREY WATER CORRECTLY:
I always empty my toilet and grey water tank by using the correct facilities.IT`S LIKE I WAS NEVER HERE:
I aim to leave the land in the same condition as I found it.
One small, simple thing we can all do is display the responsible vanlifer sticker in our window, this shows that we all care about our lifestyle and we are not all the same, Its a small gesture that can bring us all closer as a community.
If any concerned member of the public wants to scan the QR code on the sticker they will be directed to a webpage where they will soon see that you are a respectful and responsible vanlifer.
If you are staying at a pub stopover the landlord can have peace of mind knowing that you are not going to take advantage of their kindness.
We are all in this together, Lets spread the word, Lets make a change and help each other out.
