Shitting in a bucket works mint. Everyshit gets two bags, you ditch the bags in the trash, clean your bucket every few days. Tbh I haven't used my bucket in almost 3 weeks. There are public toilets everywhere. You wouldn't even know if I had just taken a shit in a bucket.
Solar is decent, but an isolator and a good AGM battery is far superior. Make sure your voltage regulator can handle it and your alt has good amperage. I built my isolator for $10 the battery was about $250 for a higher quality AGM with 120amp hour rating. I can fully charge the battery off a 100amp alt in under 20 minutes with the engine under light load. I have a converter I pulled from an RV in a junkyard that works mint for plugging in when I find an outlet (I find them all the time) I use a 400 watt inverter, enough to charge laptop, cellphones, mobile batteries, my impact driver and my mini air compressor.
I disagree with a lot of your points. Some faggot lush YouTubers are just trying to make money by selling ada for pointless products.
I paid more for my custom foam mattress than I do anything in my van and I couldn't be happier. There is literally nothing else I could want in my van. I spent very little money.
>>1679384You're fucking dumb. Hope I don't see you in the streets.
Soundproofing is pointless. It's nice to be pulled by traffic, or listen to the sounds of a forest.
You only spend money on frivolous shit if you have no idea what you are doing, lazy, or not resourceful.
I could go on and on and on about what separates the little bitches from the men when living in a van, but it's pretty self explanatory. Instead of pointless, heavy shit I spend my money on delicious food, beer, and non-resident hunting and fishing permits. I also invest in land use permits.
