They're pretty much happy for me to set up a campsite and live there indefinitely. They won't charge any rent and I'll be able to use the electricity/kitchen there for cooking. Offered to let me live in the house, but I'd be living in a lounge room.

I have a hare brained schemed to buy a big tipi style/glamping canvas tent and basically live there part time. Days on at my folks, whenever I need to get away up there just 30 minute drive. I'd like to have a stove in there too for extra comfy winters, get some nice furniture and basically turn it into a home away from home. The more I think about it the cost of setting it up justifies the benefits it will do me mentally.

Has anyone ever done anything like this before? Am I retarded? I have some concerns as to how the tent will stand up being out in the elements indefinitely. Also getting electronics in there to get them wet etc. Any advice appreciated.
