Many counties are tyring to pass laws making being homeless or sleeping in your car a form of a crime.

where you live are you having any issues regarding this?

is this an ongoing thing where you live?

Here are some pictures of the two sides blackout and silver reflectix. These made a HUGE difference. Literal life saver! It pretty hot out right now at 1:40 here and I'm parked in the shade not running with these in and a door open and the hatch open for air, and it's honestly not bad in here now. And, no more people looking in too!

Thank you very much for this idea everyone!

Title.

Good morning everyone, I'm a long time lurker of this sub. It's strange what some people, like myself,can be jealous of. What am I going to do with the second half of my life? I tell you what I'm not going to do is continue being unfulfilled and living how society expects one to live.

I'm a 48 yr old female, have a good career (sometimes I do gig work), both my children are in college, I reside in a nice area (Gwinnett County, Ga), etc. My entire life I've always focused on others. The thing that I envy about you all is your freedom.

Yes, I take vacations but I want to be free!! I know that car dwelling isn't all glitz and glam but I'm literally craving the lifestyle. In the next 2 yrs I want to be on the road, visiting new places, see new things, eat new cuisine, wake up by the ocean, hike and relax.

I'm currently in the process of looking for a van to purchase. I think I can have a good setup if I have 2 years to work on it. I'm finally ready to take the leap.See you all out in the wild. Have a great day

I'm in southern Mississippi and I have to sleep with all the windows open, i wake up with terrible itching bites all over my body, but its super hot so I have no choice. I don't want to run the ac cause it uses gas and I'd have to run it all night since it never cools down enough to close the windows.

I’d love to hear anybody’s experience from moving out of their home state, what to expect, and tips or things someone might forget to think about, costs for registration and new plates, etc.

For some context, I’m in my early 30s, single, no kids. I grew up in northern CA for the entirety of my life. I love the cloudy, dark, rainy weather. I know the snow is something I’d have to get adjusted to especially driving in it.

My first choice is Washington state, second Oregon. My biggest question is WHERE? What are some affordable cities (I know everywhere is getting expensive) considering someone like me move to. Preferably no college towns but I’m open minded. I still plan on car living so an exact destination doesn’t have to be a thing, but general areas. I know I’ll still have to do some research on my own.

I like to go to the movies, farmers markets, music events, love to eat good food. I’d like to get into hiking or something outdoors. I am more introverted and reserved but that’s something I’m hoping I can work on.

For work I’ve experienced retail, grocery, hospitality. I’d like to break into working in hotels or even the airports.

How much should I realistically save until I can find a job?

I’m open to every and any ideas or input you may have. I don’t have family or a lot of friends to talk to about this. So I appreciate this group.

Hi I briefly lived in a van for a summer, and I currently sleep/ camp when I travel in my Kia soul. I currently stay with family, but I’m so behind on starting my life and can’t afford rent and frankly don’t know where I want to be in the world so don’t really want to. I think my kia is getting to the end of the road, and the repairs are starting to cost more than the vehicle. I want to get something spacious, but I need something easily and preferably somewhat cheap to fix. I’ve started googling stuff, but I’m getting lots of conflicting opinions which I’m sure may happen here too. I just wanted to know if there’s a reliable vehicle you guys would recommend. I have also thought about getting the early ford transit van, but I’m worried I might stick out and won’t be able to blend in as easy. If anyone thinks differently, I’d also love your opinion on that. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hey again everyone. I'm moving into my car in two weeks hopefully and I've been dealing with a dilemma about window covers. Everyone seems to be using them for privacy and to be more incognito but I've noticed since they are all silver it's fairly obvious what's going on and I'm just nervous that someone will mess around with my car overnight because of this. Would anyone know where I can find these window cover or even better if they know how to buy or make black ones

I finally got around to hooking up the charger and everything is working perfectly. I still have to figure out where to permanently mount the charger. Simple set up, just connect the positive and the negative to the battery and waalllaahh. Now I can charge while driving. Just need to figure out my layout.

Hello. I'm new to this.

im looking for some safe places to park in ocean springs.

First time being homeless living in my car I need spots that I can stay at overnight or sleep at

Hey again everyone. I'm moving into my car soon hopefully but I'm extremely nervous about mold. I have wind deflectors and fans for ventilation but how do ye fully prevent mold. I'm planning on staying in the car for about 2 years if all goes well. I'm in Ireland and it's very wet here so any advice is more than welcome.

TLDR; I work 48 hours a week, 2 12 hour shifts and a 24 hour shift, would it be crazy to keep my dog in my car if he got bathroom breaks?

I will be moving into my car at the end of September to get ahead of my debt and oddly enough I genuinely think it will be better for my mental health for the time being, I have a Tesla model 3 with a good sleeping situation and my work is open 24/7 with free charging and showers and bathrooms.

I don’t want to keep my dog in my car for space sake and his quality of life sake, I work 12-24 hour shifts, on my 24s atleast my dog could be let out for bathroom breaks over the course of my shift. My 12s would run partially over the time where he would be normally be asleep. and I’d have one 24 a week and two 12s. I have a friend willing to take him into his home but it’s in the next state over. My dog is ten and I’m dreading being apart from him. I’m hoping to find a local option before times up but so far I’m not seeing much. I’m trying to reason that while I’m not on shift he would always get to be outside now and spend his time doing a lot more than with us in the apartment. Does this sound reasonable? Am I being crazy and grasping at straws?

Someone people wa saying that rent is now more affordable

Do you believe is this or is there any proof to back this up?
