  • Been there, done that. Life will never be the same.

    Once you have lived on the road, without the binds of those 4 walls.. life changes.

    I'll be back on the road within a couple of years.

      • Ever had crappy neighbors? Not when living mobile you don't.

        You have the utmost of freedom.. My days were spent lazing beneath trees reading books on my ereader. I had a couple of solar panels, digital radio, enough power to keep things charged.
        I even had an espresso maker.

        When I woke up, I could see the bright blue sky and hear the birds. Every second night I dropped into a truck stop and used their showers.

        It was absolute freedom. For every downside there seemed to be 10 upsides.

        Have a look at carliving dot info, there's a lot of good info on that site.

        Everyone I know that has done it ends up gazing out of their windows regularly.. aching to be back on the road.

          • I spent most of my time on highways.. if you hang around suburbia it is a lot harder.

            When I went into suburbia I parked in a gaming venue carpark on the other side of the carpark floodlights, anyone looking from the building couldn't see me there :D

            I had been questioned by the police once, they just asked me how I was and if everything was ok. Another time I was in landlocked bush in suburbia on a dirt track, the police drove by and waved.

            If you keep your wits about you, it can be done safely.

            There's something special about waking up under the stars..
