I recently moved from Denver CO to Atlanta GA to live in the same area as my girlfriend and have been trying to find a place to live.
I've had a bit of trouble finding a place and for about a week now, I've been living out of my car. Granted, it sucks. But it occurred
to me- "Hey, I'm not paying rent, I don't have roommates or a landlord to worry about, I'm completely free.. I could almost make a lifestyle out of this." So I just thought I'd ask you guys/gals what kind of camper van I should consider. The first thing that came to mind was an old orange VW bus my dad used to drive. ("The Great Pumpkin" as we called it.) It had a bed, a little range, fridge, toilette and a tiny shower I believe. Really, this would be perfect for me if I hadn't heard so many horror stories about the VW bus's tendency to.. well.. break down every mile or two. So I guess I'm looking for a reliable alternative in the "Class B" category. Are there a couple models out there that are widely known by RV enthusiasts and Consumer Report-ish publications to be a good choice for people on a budget? I did a couple Googles for class B RV reviews, ratings, comparisons ect but didn't come up with much. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, what would I have to be looking at spending for a good used model?
