    Living in a Van?

    if you move the vehicle, morning and night, and have no living features showing in it (no sink, toilet, shower, clothing, etc,) you are legally parked and there's nothing the cops can do about it.  harass you, tell you to move, but that's it. guys are too stupid or lazy to do this, use high top...

    Living in a Van?

    I"m 62, just started SS, and have a (small, but exandable) vet's disabilty. I got a jr college degree without using my loans/grants, so now it's time to get mine. :-) I've got a lovely 22 year old Asian wife who has a Bachelor's in Nursing (in her home country) So she has to take  30 hours of...

    Suspicious photographers

    I think that they're all FULL of it, since we just LET a million illegals per year into our country, diseases and all, with no supervision or even any questions.  If you are going to do THAT, you can't be caring even one LICK about security.

    How much conversion - and DIY alternatives

    I"ve lived many months at a time in an old mini-van, with no electricity at all. No toilet, no shower. Just join the Y or Planet fitness, or use sponge baths in restrooms, or even just baby-wipes in the back of the van.  Remove the passenge seat and set a camping cooler (or 2) there. Get a solar...

    Living in a Van?

    your actual living expenses, for this sort of thing, run under 10k per year. so you can get-together on helluva grubstake pile of money, pretty quick and easy. If you know what to do with that 20-25k, it can set you up really nice.  What you do is spend 5k or so getting a third worlder here, who...

    Living in a Van?

    Yep, it sure does make a difference. It makes cops and thieves think your van is full of stuff (like dope or weapons) I've lived in a mini-van for many months at a timeand nobody notices you.  Simply put the dark, "privacy tint" sheeting on your windows. The side windows do not need to be...
