I can turn on the RV to generate power, but I do that very rarely. I have batteries that tide me over for 2-3 days if they're fully charged and I'm frugal with power use. I'm also going to put another panel on top to double my intake. Tynan

Yep, that's one of the main reasons I moved from Austin to SF. I have some ideas to cool the RV reasonably, so I may work on that next summer. It's a bit of a mission for me to make the most deluxe tiny rolling home ever.

Somewhere around $2k, I'd say. I move 1-2 times per week, just within a 2-3 block radius.

The best heaters are Olympian Wave heaters. I had the smallest one and it heated the RV to 20 degrees higher than outside. The largest model puts out 2.5 times the heat. They use no batteries, just propane. Heat is easy, cooling is hard.

Like he said, it's no big deal at all. It's sanitary and quick... the worst part is that in some cities you have to drive a 15 miles to find somewhere to dump.

I have an unlimited plan because I got in before the caps. I use about 25gb/mo. If I didn't have that situation I would probably get two cards and set up a directional wifi antenna on the roof. I also work a lot in coffee shops. The upside

I could have elaborated more. When you don't have AC you get used to it. I spent a summer in Austin in the RV and was rarely uncomfortable because I was there in the spring so I adjusted as the seasons changed. This year I got there in the

It's not really a big deal. I've spent a total of two years in downtown Austin, LA, and SF. I've had two visits from police, both of which were basically formalities because of complaints by nearby residents. In each case they were polite a

Do it! It's really a great lifestyle. You get one life... live it for yourself, not for other people (family excluded).

Sorry about that. I will look into it. It's a tough balance to spend a lot of time creating a site and to optimize it to keep visitors.

Haha. If it makes you feel any better my sheets are Frette and I cook organic meals from scratch in All Clad Copper Core pots. :) Leftovers from my previous habits, really.

It's true that it's somewhat hard to find places that work on them, but there are independent shops in pretty much every city that will do it.

Downsides: 1. It's VERY difficult to air condition. 2. When the "car" needs repairs, you don't have a house. Sever/water is a easy... takes about 15-45 minutes (including driving) every 10-14 days. Laundromat is no big deal. You park in fro
