    Where to Sleep in San Diego, CA

    Thank you for your response! I have been scoping out spots near apt complexes, actually, and I have noticed exactly what you stated. There are several RVs that just stay on the same streets every day.  Unfortunately, we need a passenger van because we need a spot for my son’s car seat, but we...

    Where to Sleep in San Diego, CA

    Thank you so much for your thorough response! This has been so reassuring.  Honestly, I naturally view this as an adventure, but my husband--because he feels responsible for our living situation--is very afraid for us to live this lifestyle, so that, of course, makes me feel like I should be...

    Women Only: Family of 3: Need Advice for Van Dwelling in San Diego, CA

I have had some other members on other forums tell me about how they have done it in San Diego, so we will probably follow their advice for as long as we can, if we don’t get trouble from law enforcement right away. However, I have definitely...

    Hello! New and Need Advice for Van Dwelling in San Diego, CA

    He works in HVAC supply sales, so his company sells parts to HVAC installation and repair companies. He makes almost $5 above the minimum wage, but that is still nowhere near what it would cost us to live here and continue to pay our bills. We have looked into Alabama (where his family is, and...

    Where to Sleep in San Diego, CA

    You know, I have been wondering about apartment complex area because I see several RVs parked just as you describe every night when we drive by. We will definitely try that out, and hopefully it will work for us as well. I am looking into mobile home housing, although here it does seem a little...

    Hello! I am new here and am hoping to receive some advice for a potentially difficult situation. I grew up in San Diego, CA, but I have always lived in a house, so I am completely unfamiliar with things like van living, stealth camping, and boondocking. My husband and I (with our 9-month-old...

    Hello! New and Need Advice for Van Dwelling in San Diego, CA

    Thank you so much for your advice. I will definitely post this in the women’s forum as well. We have looked into endless housing “options” that we simply can’t afford. Unfortunately, most people also do not want to rent out anything small and affordable to a family. However, I will not stop...
