Hello dear human who has taken the time to read this! May your house never rust and wheels always roll!
I'm a student in southern Wisconsin and I have been living in Calcifer the Astro with my girlfriend since January 20th 2018.
We have been swooned by this lifestyle for 6 years, and were planning on a slow and careful transition into a van or shorty bus. We even bought a small Astro to ease our way in through camping trips and vacations. This is where things went wrong. Our landlord at the time was exposed as a fraud and our roommate moved out, leaving us with no way of affording another apartment and no apartment during the notorious wisco winter. We got rid of what we could, stored away what we kept, and drove to Connecticut to do a speed build at her parent's small ranch. We were all moved in by the beginning of the spring semester and have been living the dream ever since.
All in all I really enjoyed the challenge of dealing with a temperature range of -40 to 105 degrees throughout the past 10 months (not to mention dust, ice, snow, and burning sun), and it makes me feel much more prepared for when I finish school and can finally leave port permanently.
I regret not finding this website sooner, and this seems like the perfect network of like-minded individuals with whom I can find information and support instead of all the "you're crazy and weird and an outcast" that I receive from my peers.
