>>2694090yes and while is can be a bit cheaper the savings are not as dramatic as you'd think they'd be. Several reasons why
can't cook in bulk and use a fridge
heating and cooling is expensive, propane in the 5lb tanks are about 50x more than natural gas coming into your house.
have to spend time, money, gas on 24 hour fitness for showers. constant gas moving around
i found myself doing a lot more stuff to get out of the van. coffee here, see a movie, go to a bar it all adds up
taking a shit can be an hour event. get a chem toilet for emergencies
being sick is horrible. much worse than the flu at home.
few other concerns that aren't monetary
safety, better carry a gun and good insurance on your stuff
having a permanent address
internet and phone access, i had a hotspot plan and other than remote places it was fine
sleeping is hit and miss.
two bits of advice, first don't put yourself in a situation where you don't have any other options. at least not until you've done a season and will really commit. Last if you look, smell and act like a criminal hobo you're going to be treated like one. shower regularly and always be nice and it'll save you lots of troubles.
