    I would strongly suggest looking for the 200C cargo model.. they are fantastic in every way! No to low maintenance, parts easy to find, engine swap for 1200 bucks if you ever need it! Nissan went above and beyond on these. I love love LOVE mine!

    So how do you do it?

    Soups, sardines, crackers, chili, fresh fish if there's no official types around! Fresh fruit and veggies when I can plan them in!

    Need Help selecting a city for minivan life!

    My post was deleted under the claim it was demeaning! I told the truth! Salinas is a very dangerous place with a murder rate so bad the Feds have moved in! Avoid it! It is not safe!

    Illegal unless you're on a motorcycle, a bus or a jalopy.. Revenue scams should be illegal!

    I'm pretty sure SSI/SSDI can't be garnished so you don't have to worry about that much.

    Tuff gig, very tuff! that's what? 23 or so dollar a day budget? Have to learn to play guitar and busk on street corners next to a soup kitchen or something! I couldn't do it without a hustle of some sort!

    TN makes camping on public land a felony

    Nashville is my favorite pitstop to stay a couple days! I used to hit Memphis too but it's become kind of dangerous!

    TN makes camping on public land a felony

    I've parked my van in downtown Nashville in the paid parking lots more times than I can count, I go through there to drink beer, listen to music and crash in the van! Never had an issue in over 2 decades! K owing I was likely on shaker ground but never been confronted or messed with at all...
