Books books books!!

[maller82]

I have been trying to read everything I can get my hands on to better prepare myself for my upcoming adventure of building my home (probably a box truck). I stay up at night reading the threads on here till I almost go cross eyed from looking at my Kindle. Can anyone suggest any other books for me to read? I have read the following books:

The Tiniest Mansion by Tynan

My House Has Wheels by Chris Poindexter

How To Live In A Car, Van, or SUV by Robert Wells

Any other book suggestions would be great! I am mostly looking for stuff about actually doing the build right now. If you haven't read the above books I suggest them. The first two are mostly about living in an RV or 5th wheel. But, they have all taught me something. Maybe cause I have no clue what I am doing!!

Books are the best way to getting information. Every person should read it for knowledge.

Late to the party, but I suggest "Walden on Wheels" by Ken Ilgunas. He lived in a van for two years while getting a Masters at Duke University. This ebook (http://www.amazon.com/Walden-Wheels-Open-Road-Freedom/dp/054402883X) is well worth the $5.00. It's not really a technical "how-to-live-in-a-van" book. It's more of a why I lived in a van. He discusses how student loan debt and criminally low wages are creating a new class of slaves, why urban scrawl sucks, and the emotional challenges of living on the fringes of society.

When I was living in my van in Oregon, I would spend a lot of time in coastal town libraries that always had a good selection of boating related books. I found that many of them had very good info on 12-volt systems but also lots of good tips on maximizing the space available on smaller boats.

Plus, I'm a Pisces and really, really wanted to trade my Class B for a sailboat.
