Really interesting and well done site, Tynan! I am considering the vehicle of choice. I have a ’97 f-150 club wagon which i may trade for a school bus. ***Incidently,on a daily basis, how do you spend your time??**
I suspect most of mine will be spent in a gym or on a beach.

I’m going to jump onboard the rv lifestyle soon. The thing I can’t work out is the water->shower situation. In your post you say every 6-7 days you refill the 20 gallon tank. What does that translate to in shower frequency for you? Have you figured out any sneaky alternatives to driving to an rv to refill the water tank?

Also, do you have gas hot water? How often do you find you need to re-fill the cylinder.

Thank you for an amazing site, very inspirational and it’s crazy how many of the writeups are exactly what I want to be reading about.

I am considering getting the Sprint MiFi 2200 card so that when I am on the road I can connect to the internet, but I will be using it as my only source of internet… I know its $60/ month, but I see that if you go over the 5gb limit then you get charged. it could double the price if you hit 6gb. I use my laptop for just about everything. I check my email a lot, surf the web, make videos, and do freelance work online. Do you think that 5gb/ month is enough. Is it enough for you? or do you end up getting charged more?

Great article as always. I’ve been spending some time thinking hard about this type of lifestyle and it is very, very enticing!

I found an interesting site that further explores living in an rv…. I am NOT associated with the site in any way and have just started reading it in detail. Thought I would share it for those who may have not found it yet; http://cheaprvliving.com/

Final thought; I think I’m in love with the Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter platform of 19-24 foot campers. Costly, but some of the used ones may be doable.

Regards, Dave

@Don That’s why I’m in Cali now :)

@Static I have a permanent mailing address through Earth Class Mail. I file taxes as a Texas resident because that was my last permanent residence and they have no state income tax.

How does a “technically” homeless person deal with doing taxes and such…
