This might sound strange but while surfing the web for cheap ways to live on the road I found some sites of people who lived in vans. The type to buy for driving not living in Vans. Do not know how but is it possible to survive like that? I know its cheap since some new ones go as low as $20K and have enough room for 1 person to 'live' in if (s)he removes the back seats. Another site I found was from a gypsy type girl who bought a used van and lives on the road doing small jobs like retail or food to pay for expenses and after a month or 2 leave and go back on the road.
I wonder about this since I plan to ride solo and am frugal about stuff and might just buy a new van with 4WD to try it out. Said something on there about using baby wipes and such for cleaning yourself and some type of non wash shampoo and soup to save as much water as possible. For those on a dime it seams like a good but nor comfy thing to do. Another point it brought out was that you would not need to stay at RV parks since parking a van at a store like walmart won't get much attention even in city's that ban sleeping at stores.
