Hey, I don't know if this is the right board to post it on, or if I should do it on /diy/, but anyway I am looking into living in a van, but I have no idea where to start, because I know nothing about cars at all, so I hope you might help me be lazy and give me some suggestions as to which one I should get, or even where I should start looking for a model, or where to find a cheap or a second hand one. There is just me living in it, so I don't need a lot of space, however I still need some space to move around. I don't mind it as bare bones as possible, as long as it would protect me from the nature.
If any of you have any experience in living like this, so far my main problem is the toilet/showering, so how do you deal with that?
I guess this can thread can be hijacked as long as it doesn't get 404'd
>so far my main problem is the toilet/showering Fast food restaurant toilets and gym showers will become daily routines for you. There's no simple way to implement bathroom installations unless you go full RV, at which point you're not vanning or stealthing anymore.

Build storage under a bed space and set yourself up a little mini kitchen with small appliances. Get a cheap gym/pool membership for showers, also helps keep you in shape and not bored out of your mind from living in a car.

Stay with your parents or family. Even if it's a shitty situation it's better than living in a van. Tough it out until you're financially stable enough to move out.
John Young
This is what I suggest. A friend/co-worker of mine would use her VW Transporter like this for long trips, and it worked out fine

>no simple way to implement bathroom installations they make those "poop in a bucket" kits. basically a home depot bucket and disposable bags lined with kitty litter. and then your basic truckers piss jug

Killing yourself is a better alternative than being homeless.

ancient people were Nomads. some of us still have that in our DNA. the need, the natural desire to roam around and explore being tied down to a house is over rated
Elijah Torres
Gym membership for shits and showers. Piss jugs otherwise. Planet fitness is all over the place and only 10 bucks a month
