agree. This guy is living the dream and "has everything he needs".

Back in 1986, I met an industrious person who worked two full-time jobs (a graveyard shift at a warehouse and then a day shift at a factory) so he decided to live in a van instead of his apartment that he only slept in. He showered and ate at work as well as a gym he had a membership in. It worked out for him and he saved a lot of money working 16-hour days with no bills apart from gasoline and food. His van was fitted out like an RV with a bed over storage bins and a wardrobe for clothes. Very minimalist. He spent his weekends partying at friends' places, going to the beach or camping trips.

Wow this brings back some memories, I did something similar, but not with all the amenities.

I set up tent at camp grounds and sometimes slept out in the open in my sleeping bag, mostly free locations, only paid a in a few spots, never more than 15 bucks. I really wish I could do this again, I just love road trips, just waking up, looking at a map and asking, ok whats interesting around here, and just going there. and do some back packing.

Working for a company that uses all sorts of cargo Van's, the Chevy Express has been the most solid so far. Sure, we had some that had thier share of problems but most of them can be atributed to many of the guys abusing them or not following maintenance schedules. I found that if you treat these vans right and maintain them regularly, they can be pretty reliable. I had one that I put 240,000 miles on and it still was going strong when I turned it in to the fleet company. On the other end of the spectrum, the worse van my company tried was Ram ProMasters, both the large size and City mini work Van's. They were so bad, my company couldn't wait to get rid of them and we went back to the Chevy Express. BTW...this comes from a guy who is not a fan of Chevy vehicles in general. Just giving credit where credit is due.

Scotty Kilmer: “Its not possible to live or drive in that Chevy across America, he needs to sell it and buy a Toyota, then he will know the meaning of eternal and reliable.”

Makes me miss my 83' G20 Van.. That thing was so cool.. But eventually you have to upgrade from vice grip door handles and a sliding door that won't open.

Awesome, he's living my dream
