It might be possible to connect with others in your local area for some 2 or 3 day long camping outings. A car and tent will do for this if you do not have anything else set up for van living. That will be good stress relief from settling an estate.
Finding those people in your area might happen by posting on the HOWA associated Facebook page "we camp together". On that page you can create a posting asking to camp or even just meet for coffee with others who might be living in or passing through your area.
I'll go to HOWA and have a look. As for hooking up with other campers unless you have an RV and get a full hookup at one of the casinos camping in Las Vegas right now is out of the question because it's over 100 degrees. It's 98 right now and the high today will be 105.
There are vandwellers around Las Vegas and once in awhile they flood areas outside of neighborhoods which pisses residents off and they get put on the news. When summer comes they have to leave because it just gets to damn hot. I don't know where they go for the summer but I want to find out. Same with the people in Arizona which has an abundance of BLM land but they too scatter when summer comes.
I'm learning. I lived in a van for 10 years or more but I was working all night and there were two BLM campgrounds close by that only charged $3 a night.
I'll go over to the HOWA site and see if I can get some conversation going with people.
Thanks!
