Little over a month ago we bought a 1995 dodge cargo van . The main idea is that instead of doing what every on YouTube and Instagram, I wanted to take a more minimal approach to it and not spend thousands of dollars just to make it look like a modern tiny apartment. Anyways , right now we working on electric. The main idea is to have 3 or more batterys hooked up with a 750W inverter as a main source of electricity with a solar panels on top.


For cooking , being a hobo , I have two hobo stoves I use for cooking. One for wood and another that uses rubbing alcohol and used cooking oil as fuel.

Work wise I mainly go street busking but I also door dash and work smaller jobs .

For food I go dumpster diving but I also forage I'm the wilderness and 2 of my 3 pups know how to hunt smaller game.

During the colder seasons we will have a heater that's runned.off of used cooking oil but we also have a sleep system containing of three military sleeping bags that along with my pups always kept us warm.

Check the plenum gasket and look for rust, especially toward the rear, all common problems with dodges of that era
