    I have a house in Florida that I am coming up on 2 years with me not seeing.

    Visited Michigan and started trucking up here. Been staying with friends that live 45 minutes from the yard. ..

    Always kinda helped out with Projects and repairs on house in exchange for room and board .

    Frankly it is too much work to move out of the truck and shut down the fridge and drive 45 minutes for a night or 2 of doing laundry.

    Bought a barrel full of under drawers and tee shirts so wash can go out 3 weeks or better.

    I Have wash rags I heat in the a plastic bag in the microwave for a daily wipe.

    Small hand towels for drying, they do the same job as a regular towel and take far less room.

    Hit a shower every other day.

    I don't reuse or have damp towels hanging up in the cab to dry.

    Use it. Throw it in the laundry bag in the side box.

    Oh yea and a squirt bottle full of vinegar for sanitizing hands and whatever else needs a wipe in the cab. And lots of paper towels.

    Keep the dirt down to a small roar.

    We live in our camper. Travel sometimes, stationary sometimes. By we I mean my husband, who is the driver, our youngest (10) and myself. It's easily do able. We use escapees for mail service, bank address, etc... The park we live in has several other drivers who park their camper and are only home one weekend a month. Finding a safe place for your camper is key, but all of that is easily do able and can be a whole lot of fun.

    I have done it in the past. Had a camper van. Ive even just lived in my truck completely at times in the past. Easy peazy no troubles. Simplified my life. Saved up tons of money $$$ doing that. To the point of 0 debt of any kind and piles of bank accounts at the end of the month. Makes life really easy when you get to that point. Freedom is a wonderful thing.
