    Can't Insulate my whole car yet, can I create a simple, cheap insulated compartment?

    What materials? This is so I can keep electronics for cool when I have to leave them in the car and can't always park in shade... EDIT: Must be able to be in the car for at least 6 hours in extreme heat

    Pros/Cons of Subaru Outback?

    Is that permanent? The car belongs to a family member so I can't really alter it (aka, why I'm saving up for a van I can alter to my hearts desire)

    Residing in Tornado Alley / Dealing with Hail / Bad Weather

    So until I get my actual van to travel out of state, I'll be staying in my wagon around home (Dallas, TX). I'm a newbie to the lifestyle so please forgive my naivety. My assumption is that if there is bad weather, seek out family or friends with foundation housing for temporary lodging...

    Just need to make my car sleep-able

    What would be some good material for bedding in a subaru outback? When the backseat is laid down, there's plenty of length to stretch out. I'll probably put it up each morning, so it needs to be easy-ish to set up and take down. Foam seems to be the best option however its super bulky. I feel...

    Pros/Cons of Subaru Outback?

    That's awesome! Thank you for sharing, this is encouraging. Noticed the lack of space when we tried to sleep in it. Since its me and my fiance, generally we have double the stuff haha. Just need the outback as a part time sleeper anyway. Not living home yet, just need to have a bed 3-5 days of...

    Pros/Cons of Subaru Outback?

    Yeah this is what I already have access to. I don't need it for full time living right now, just as a place to sleep. We've already had it for a while, but its been maintained and I can continue to afford to maintain it while I save for the van.

    Stealth Station Wagon Sleeping?

    Can't get a van/rv yet. Tips on making due with a modern station wagon style vehicle? Just need a place to sleep a couple days out of the week. Its super easy to see into the car since its low to the ground and has no tint to the window, so my main guess to to get a couple shower rods and...

    Pros/Cons of Subaru Outback?

    I wasn't sure if the subaru outback counted as a "car" or misc. Its a lovely car. Got some great kick to it. Under 100k miles, well maintained. Slept in it once, comfy... other than its almost impossible to sit up completely while the back is all flattened out. That's what I've noticed...

    Getting Ready for Independence

    I already make 10k by myself working part time, the cost of living I'm already spending is 10k too. My main concern is just getting the van or trailer. We're trying to stop living pay check by pay check but its not be easy. We know we have to have income. A lot of our work that we want to do...

    Getting Ready for Independence

    You guys are amazing! Thank you for such warm welcomes! I currently have a subaru outback, and we've slept in it once already and it wasn't too bad, just could sit up... I've considering pulling a small trailer (maybe a teardrop? idk) behind it. Honestly my main worry for the area is weather /...

    Getting Ready for Independence

    I have one year left till I get my BA. I work part time and am preparing job options for on the road. My family was overly protective so this lifestyle does not make them happy. They correlate it with homelessness and say I'm aiming low. I'm trying to aim to something I know I can do. I'm in my...
