Vanlife Home Charred in Mechanical Fire
Donation protected
Rest in Peace to my conversion van and my home, Surge ['96 Ford E-350]
My conversion van of 3 years burst into flames and was completely charred in a mechanical fire that started randomly. Luckily, I am safe. However, I lost everything I own including clothes, mattress and bedding, bathroom supplies, dishes and kitchen items, food, all my important documents (including passport/birth certificate, etc.), personal items such as my laptop and cellphone. Everything.
I had spent the months getting my conversion van repainted and ventilated, extensive mechanical work done, and reconstructed on the inside. All in hopes of taking off on another off the grid journey.
I'm a firm believer that "everything happens for a reason", which supports the idea that disasters such as this can often be blessings in disguise. However, I believe blessings also come when you are able to admit you could use some help.
