>>2478117I lived in my car for a few months last year. I was employed full time so I had money.
>gym membership to use showers>Crack your windows at night when the weather permits>find good spots to park and move between a few locationsUnironically walmart is a good spot to park. Other major retailers in business parks are usually empty after hours. Churches too.
>buy a good sleeping bag>try not to eat too much fast food/packaged junkI kept a small lunch bag cooler and often bought fresh produce and used a little camp stove to prepare meals.
>free wifi from McDonald's/coffee shops>don't use your car accessories and charge your phone too much without running it. A dead battery means your car and house are now stranded>go to campgrounds on weekendsGetting to unpack and clean out the car helped a lot. It also felt good to stretch and feel somewhat normal.
>get a storage unit if you canFelt nice to have a homebase where I could store stuff and swap out gear in the car
>find a laundromat and keep clean>maintain your vehicle, oil changes etcAnother aspect for me was hiding it from my coworkers (I guess due to pride/shame). I would sneak into work early to shave, hide my sleeping bag and stuff in the trunk and then start work as normal.
