Stealth Camper/Vehicle Camper Conversion

[FearlessMGHOWParticipant 1928]

Anyone here ever thought about living inside your vehicle full time? Personally, I think it would be a great idea if I had enough space to sleep comfortably.

I was watching quite a few Youtube videos about it and found a really great truck turned into a camper:

I’ve actually thought about getting certain types of vehicles such as jeeps and truck and convert the backs of them into a camper. That way, my home is always with me wherever I go. And when I want to sleep, I can just pull into a gas station/Walmart parking lots for the night.

It would also save on money. If I didn’t have my loans to pay off, living in this thing would only cost me about $1500-$2000 dollars a month.

And for my office, I could just install this for a laptop:

Some guy named Adam The Woo on Youtube was trying to do that, he apparently got hassled alot by security, even at Walmart.

Yeah, that’s the only the thing I’m worried about. If anything, I’d just take the extra time to drive over to one of those rest stops/big truck gas stations you see near the freeway. Dealing with security would be a bitch.

He opted out and is real happy.

He is now building a wood gasification generator. Google it.

He is not mgtow and f~~~s a real fat broad with no “teef” who can cook up a storm and gives a mean bj he tells me. They drink and smoke all day and f~~~ all night. Yeah..I did not get much sleep.

Hmmmm… maybe all those women who cannot find a man should learn from this. Ha

I’d love to live a life like that. Minus the land whale. I’d end up getting a few fleshlights instead.

I spent a month on the road a couple of years ago doing a mix of tent camping at KOA sites and primitive locations. I had a great time exploring the southwest but next time, I’m going to spend less time in town and more time in the wilderness.

Not only do I now have a proper off-road vehicle and teardrop trailer plus all the gear I’d need to spend a week or more in the wild at a time, but I’m also needing a bit of peace and quiet so I’m very much looking forward to getting back out there.

That’s what I’m looking forward to working towards. What would be ideal for me, is that I could have a stealth camper like this. That way, in my normal work hours, I can drive it to work. In my off hours, I can spend pretty much all of my time out in the wild. Best of both worlds.

Holy s~~~! if this is a cheap alternative, the real estate and rent price tags must be very extreme there! Is all the US so expensive? I can live on 1000$ like a king, and the rent of my small 1-room apartment is like $200 a month (eastern Europe, not in a capital city, that maybe $500+ a month.)

By the way, you still must have a valid living address, that is reported to authorities and written into the identity card (or here, another card next to it) and this is where all your legal, paper-based mail goes. Tax authority and others will mail there. Mail on paper, because they are old school.

But for long journeys, this type of car is a great idea! You have your own hotel room in the car.

And another good idea with such cars: I know, parking places are very scarce (even in the center of a small city, people park their cars on the grass or anywhere it fits…)

I think I might get a car, in which I can put my bicycle in (without removing front wheel etc- a small jeep or a normal bigger car without rear seats.) and I will just park the first free parking place in a mile distance, and jump on the bike to do my stuff.

You might be interested in Bob Wells’s website. http://www.cheaprvliving.com/ He and other gather at Quartzsite, AZ in January every year. It’s mostly an older crowd than you, but they have answers to most of your questions already.

A lot of full time RV’ers are still working age nowadays. SD, TX, and a couple of other states don’t have state income tax and there are multiple mail services in those places that can give you that legal connection that’s required for licensing and tax purposes. They just forward the essentials to you whenever you request it.

Also, do searches on vandwelling. Even if it’s a pickup with a topper it qualifies as a vehicle based lifestyle.

If you can figure out a way to make living without a tether then the mobility can be a bonus.

I’ve considered either this or something similar to what Stealthy mentioned in his post. They are still both options when I decide to drop out completely.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

On average, apartments usually cost $600-$800 dollars a month not including utilities. And in most cases, you still need to pay for utilities and car insurance + fuel. Unless you live in a city like LA or NYC, most cities here in the U.S. don’t really have good public transportation. And even if they did, most businesses/neighborhoods are still spread out pretty far apart.

But, I like this idea more because of it’s other advantages it can bring. I’d also wouldn’t have to worry about landlords which I really hate.

There are plenty of options for P.O. boxes out here so I can just use those for addresses. Even if I did need a living address, I could just use one of aunts/uncles/parents/sister’s address. They wouldn’t have a problem with that.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

That’s definitely why if I do choose to do this, I’ll end up converting a jeep, SUV, or minivan. I prefer to do it with a jeep though because they can drive on off road sites easier than most other vehicles.

But, this is definitely a great option to consider especially if you’re looking to cut out living expenses like utilities and rent.
