Hey guys!
Im all for this van dwelling thing, but I really don't know how you guys do it with air conditioning. I'm pretty damn tough, but I guess you guys are tougher! I live in southern California, and I get into my car on hot days, and I can't imagine trying to live in a van full time without constant air conditioning. Above 85 degrees is simply unbearable! And I don't think the whole, "Well, just drive to a cooler place is really practical." because your drive to a cooler place could be 4-8 hours. That is not very convenient. I plan on working my job for a few more years and ditch the house and then full time it in a 20-23ft RV. I already have a Roadtrek Popular 200 2000. I need a smaller RV that I can maneuver around suburban Los Angeles/Pasadena.
Many of these vans hit $15,000 so quickly, you might as well get a class B van or class C RV with shower, fridge, bathroom, generator and AC. I mean I think that I can get my dream RV for $30,000 (down from $50,000 and $60,000) (Either Pleasureway Excel TS or Phoenix Cruiser 2350 2004). A little tip, try to get a bathroom when you don't have to shower in the hallway (Roadtrek). Pleasureway and Phoenix Cruiser have showers not in the hallway.
How do you deal with the lack of air conditioning in vans? Lack of showering facilities?
John
