I got a large mosquito net off of a canopy someone was throwing away. It worked great. I haven't found any tics yet but I'm still keeping an eye out for them. So far week two is going much more smooth than week one. Having a place to park with no worries of LEO knocking on my window and a place...

I started on some of the yard work today. It was brutal out. I got attacked by mosquitoes, chiggers, and a variety of unidentifiable insects. I need to check myself for tics :s  I did manage to clear out about 50lbs of weeds and I don't even think that put a dent in it. Last night was the best...

So here are some current photos. I took your advise and purchased a sleeping mat. I didn't use foam because of the risk of it collecting moisture. Instead I used a water proof ground mat for sleeping bags. You can also see how I hung up my curtains with clothes pins and covered the two top...

Went and checked out the driveway. The house is owned by a very nice older lady out of city limits right next to a very large lake in the woods. Her yard is very over grown so I have some work ahead of me as far as getting it cleaned up but it still seams like a great deal. She is at the end of...

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I have been very busy at work. My first week is coming to an end and I have learned a lot and am finally getting adjusted to the lifestyle. With the exception of my first night, I have spent every night this past week sleeping outside of my storage unit. It...

Spent the night parked outside my storage unit last night. A guy in a golf cart, who I am assuming works there, drove by while I was settling in for the night. He didn't seem to care too much about me being there because he just drove right on by and never said a word. I was able to sleep in...

Thanks for all the tips guys. My first night out went well, I camped in a large neighborhood along the street and had zero problems and no police encounters!! I am sitting in a McDonalds now using there WiFi and drinking some sweet tea. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time here...

Tonight will be my last night living in an apartment. Tomorrow morning I will be starting my truck dwelling journey. I think I will take a nice hot shower and turn the AC down to freezing tonight...just some thoughts. Any other ideas how I should spend my last night?

wow I really like your build! I would really like to have a bed frame like that...I'm currently using a cot though because I don't want anything too permanent and the cot is easy to fold up and store. Great job

Thanks for all the replies, kind words and advise. RollinWOT I plan on moving to Virgina by the end of the year. I wasn't able to cover my rear window today as I hoped too but I did cover my two top windows using a cheap windshield shade cut to fit and taped in place. I have decided to use black...

Great, thank you I added my location. The space is VERY small so I know that it's going to be a huge adjustment but I have always been somewhat of a minimalist so I have that going for me. I still think I will try and black out that back window because the tint on it is very light compared to...

Yes I have read many of the threads on trucks with campers which have given me confidence to get started and a good basic idea of how I plan on living the next few months. Sorry for the lack of info on my profile but I'm actually not sure how to edit it :huh:   I am currently living in Florida...

Hey guys so this is my first post. I have been looking around a bit and have seen some pretty cool setups. I will be living out of my truck for a few months and am very excited about the experience. I am working a full time job and trying to save enough money to move across the country. My plan...
