Hi From Roseboom, NY

Hi Everyone,

I just found this site by watching a youtube video about a guy who lives in his van and works in Phoenix AZ.  I've known about van living and stealth camping for a number of years now and the closest I've come to it was camping in a Florida State Park with no amenities for 10 dollars a night about two years ago.  I loved it.

Now my wife and I want to come to Phoenix AZ for about 12 weeks and live as cheaply as possible.  We own a 1993 VW Eurovan, the weekender model so that part is already taken care of.

In traveling from point A to point B I have had good success spending the nights in Walmarts.  I've never had anyone knock on my windows ever.  (knock on wood).  So the part that I have absolutely no idea how to accomplish is living in one city for an extended period of time and moving around in such a way as to stay as transparent as possible without too much stress and feeling good about the entire experience.

So I can use all the wisdom I can get from everyone that has already lived, experienced and solved these issues.

Thanks in Advance,

Rick
PS I apologize for not reading everything first. I've found some great articles on the site. My bad.
But I did want to introduce myself anyway.

Welcome to the CRVL forums Rick! This website should be helpful - https://freecampsites.net/#!Phoenix,+AZ,+United+States   Staying in Phoenix may be a little harder than it is in other cities because most of the Walmarts do not allow overnight parking and the casinos have strict rules.

To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips, Tricks and Rules" post lists some helpful information to get you started.   We look forward to hearing more from you.
