Re: Fulltiming in a Sportsmobile?
I lived fulltime in my van while I was between homes. Had no problems even when it came to working 40 hours a week. Spent more time keeping clean though because I was having to go to 24 hour fitness to shower and get ready for work everyday. Usually parked on the street or near the beach. In 2 months I didn't get woken up or asked to move even once. That being said I was in a large city of 1.5 mil people. Parked on the street in residential areas. The key thing is parking and then getting out and going for a walk. If anybody is watching, they see someone park and then go down the street. They usually are gone by the time you come back 5 minutes later and jump into your van. Put up a curtain across the front and across all your windows. Make sure if you have a light on inside that you cannot see it from outside or at least make sure its not noticeable. Never put my penthouse top up though. Always just slept on the gaucho bed. Another thing to keep on hand though is a bucket in case you have to go to the bathroom. Yeah, trees work. But sometimes peeing on a tree in someones front yard is not worth the trouble. Just get some plastic trash bags to line the bucket, let rip, then seal the bag and drop into a trash bin somewhere whenever you can.
