    She never said he was spying on her, is just that in a van you can easily hear everything that happens outside and the same goes the other way around, it doesn’t feel the same as being in your property bc you’re basically living in public places so you cannot ask for full privacy, also there’s not much space

    I've been some places where it felt a little 'less restful' to park and sleep. And there is the hassle of finding parking where you won't alert the "HOA" in some cases. Overall, I'd say it's not a huge matter, especially depending on you and your rig.

    I dealt with the privacy part by buying a cargo van with no windows in the rear. There's always going to be nosy people watching you just have to not care. I also have a power station and a portable fridge so my food stays good. I usually plan my trips ahead of time where I will eat, sleep, location of gyms, roadside parks, places to eat anything I will need. Planning ahead makes a big difference.

    The hardest part is living " on the tilt". Many streets are not flat but are higher towards the middle and slope to the curb. This means youre never standing or sleeping level. (Well, my bed will lift, but not the floor.) Spill anything liquid and it will run towards the curb side.

    I have lived in my car 5 months per yr for about 17 yrs. I think routine is important. It allows cops and locals to anticipate your patterns. This allows them to feel their environment is less unpredictable, which decreases their fear. This assumes, of course, you are in an area tolerant of homeless people. When others are less afraid, it is better for all concerned. The routine also gives you a sense of regularity.

The rest is miserable and chaotic, but that 10% really does make the other 90 worth it.
