Ironic that you sold your HOUSE to get away from spending 8 hours in a cubicle to now spend 24 hours a day in a cube VAN.
Perspective. lol
I think its awesome what you're doing btw. Live life as you see fit and never let anyone judge you for it.

Great post. I met a guy in Africa living just like you. For longer trips (years) and lifestyle travelling it looks like stealth is the way to go. I have a Toyota Landcruiser as I need the car for daily work commute etc as well.
Thanks for sharing!

if it was getting new posts from the Wanderer I could see why, but nothin new since Feb by him ???
Well, he said at best he had a year.
I like wandering too, but I couldnt just wander and do window shopping. A lot of the better attractions all cost money.
I did see someone's blog once- they had a pickup with a slide in. the guy also did computers- but he did programming. There are actually jobs that you can do from anywhere in the world- given enough technology.
1. Computer programming- but you have to find a small sized company who lets you work remotely all the time. I know quite a few that their whole company is dispersed throughout the country. Just find high speed internet somewhere and your good to go.
2. Phone support/customer service- Some companies like jet blue offer "work at home" - use your computer and high speed internet and hook up.
3. Construction- You could technically be roving "Extra help"- but hard to find work in this economy, and with people who don't trust you.
4. Photographer- just try and sell your prints
5. Pipe welder- though you mostly need your own rig.

We've been fulltiming for 7 years - in conventional motorhomes and expedition trucks and vans - and we rarely use commercial campgrounds.
My experience is that it isn't the type of vehicle you have, but how much commonsense you use in choosing a location for "stealth Camping". Obviously we prefer camping spots out in the sticks in beautiful locations, but that isn't always possible so we camp in towns if necessary. Only twice been moved on - once from a fishing reserve in Montana (I think) and once from a 24/7 carpark in Morocco by three cops in the pay of the local caravan park.
The other technique that works is Day+Night camping. Scout out an out of the way place to spend the night, but spend the day parked in the best location in town - park, seaside whatever.
