    Forgivness before premition?

    I found an amazing spot in my area I want to frequently use.<br>It's a synagogue at the top of a hill with a ton of parking space. No cops or kids seem to bother it, The view of the stars is better then anything you could imagine in the city. So I'm wondering if I should just ask them permission...

    urban camo magnets ?

    <br><br>That's just for the business license, not the certifications or bonds. Just saying I have a buisness and it's called blah blah.

    Oh look, an actual surveillance van for sale

    That is pretty awesome but at that asking price I think I'd still want to do my own conversion.

    General buyers guids to buying vans?

    I really don't know where to start. I was originally just going to buy a repo'ed piece of junk from auction some where around $500 and fork over the cash to get the engine rebuilt into really good condition. I really just don't know enough to have a clue.<br><br>Only main thing I'm picky about...

    urban camo magnets ?

    I'd highly suggest making up a business rather then coping signage from a well known one.<br><br>Something generic that still looks legit like "Parker Plumbing" done up nice with a google voice number attached that goes to a voice mail for said factitious business.<br><br>Better yet if you have...

    What brings you to this lifestyle?

    Born and raised in San Diego, housing cost in beyond ridiculous. I really don't want to rent in general because you never get any of it back as investment.<br><br>I'm also at a point in my life after a few of those hard economy years that have left me feeling vary un-rooted in my home town. I'm...

    legal disposal of solid waste?

    I'm sure this is a stupid question but I've never needed to give it thought before in my life. With a chemical toilet or a just a bucket you would at some point need to dispose of the contents and I have absolutely no idea what works well or what would be legal.

    Bed layout for someone 6ft tall

    I'm planing to build my bed more like a couch long ways. In this economy I got pretty used to sleeping on couches and I could use it to sit while I do stuff on work cooking space I plan on having on the other side of the van.

    Any luck overnighting at 24-hour businesses other than Walmart?

    I work at home depot and even though we are not open 24 hours a day but there are always cars of all kinds in the lot from night crew and the pack down crew working early AM. I don't think work looking van would cause anyone to bat an eye since a lot of the guys have side gigs that use work...

    Planing stage with some worries.

    I'd think regular spray paint would send flags too but probably a lot less then most any other option.<br /><br />Feel pretty stupid I never took the time to think of front to back since I started looking at van-dwelling. Thanks for the idea, have a whole new set of layouts to think about.

    Planing stage with some worries.

    I'm still in the planing phase but I'm there are some thing's I'm worried about.<br /><br />The biggest is if the best van buy I find has windows in the back how can I replace them or black them out on the cheep? Curtains just scream van-dweller and the real problem is that they would still have...
