Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Vanyage because planning a van life trip was way harder than it needed to be.
Every time I tried to plan a road trip, I ended up with 15 browser tabs open — one for gas prices, one for campsite fees, another for insurance rates by state, and yet another trying to figure out where I could legally park overnight. There was no single tool that pulled it all together.
So I built the toolkit I wished existed:
→ State-by-state cost calculator — see exactly what van life costs in all 50 states, not vague "it depends" answers
→ AI route planner — tell it your budget, your van, and how many days you have. It builds your itinerary with free camping stops included
→ Overnight parking guide — where you can actually sleep without getting knocked on your window at 2am
→ 10 in-depth guides covering everything from boondocking to solar setup to dispersed camping rules by state
Everything is free. No signup, no paywall, no "premium tier." I just want to help people hit the road with better information.
If you've ever thought about van life, or you're already living it, I'd love your feedback. What's missing? What would make your next trip easier?
🚐 See you on the road.
The state-by-state breakdown is exactly what I needed for planning my budget across different regions. Love that the boondocking rules are right there with the cost data.
