Should I live in a van for 4 months? I live outside of Toronto and this seems too good to be true.

1.Do you have a job
2. Where do you park it 24/7
3. Electricity needs
4. Cooking
5. Shitting
6. Heat/cold
7. Internet

I mean it's doable of course, but pretty miserable. A gym membership and a library card can cover you for 80% of the other shit you will need. The rate at which people abandon "van life" is quite high, even when they're trust fund kiddos who have fully furnished Sprinters

Maybe OP can sleep with the engine running and a hose attached to the exhaust that leads inside – that way he'll stay warm!

5 gallon bucket with cat litter, though only for emergencies if a public toilet is absolutely not available.

Fuck yeah, living in a van in Ontario in December sounds awesome. Toes are for fags and you don’t need more than 2 on either foot so definitely go for it.

why wouldnt you just finance a van at that point?

Being able to take a nice shit at home and then shower immediately afterwards is what makes a man feel like a king.

a reliable 3500w generator is roughly about 2500USD with everything included.

surprisingly it only takes 2 hours of solar to top it off. Just can't let niggers steal the solar panels off the roof.

>1.Do you have a job
LOL

>2. Where do you park it 24/7
Uhauls can be parked just about anywhere and be stealth.

>3. Electricity needs
Don't needs, but you can use an inverter to power a laptop and charge stuff.

>4. Cooking
Butane stove or coleman camp stove

>5. Shitting
Find a playground or park that has public restrooms. Or pay a little more for a gym membership and you'll have access to bathrooms with showers and shitters.

>6. Heat/cold
A single oil lamp can heat the interior very quickly. Crack the windows open to avoid suffocation

>7. Internet
Free wifi is abundant. Get a directional antenna like a yagi and you can park far away from the hotspot and still have a strong signal.

You may as well pay a little more and get a box truck. Lots more room inside and if you are just parking it somewhere it won't really matter about the mileage rate.

The answer to the question of "should i live in a van" should always be yes. but that being said. you will come out better if you buy a van instead of renting one.

the gym is a good idea because you will want something to do. your body needs exorcise anyway. unless you have a job that's physical. but really you can do without it, public bathrooms are everywhere. walmarts. targets. gas stations. truck stops. you name it. also if you want a shower you can do it for free at a ymca. or pay for a private shower at a truck stop, it's usually like $3 but truck stops have memberships too so you can actually build up points buying gas and earn free showers.
