Alright guys! so i have been giving some thought into going to colorado. I dont think its a very suitable place for a first time van dweller. Im a local florida and honestly when it hits the 60 i start to bring out the heavy jackets. So instead I think I might head up to Chattanooga or ashville to find work. Any recommendations? And thanks again everyone you have been such a great help!

Testing it out! Its all coming together!

Ummm, I hate to tell you but it's 39 in Chattanooga with a high in the seven day forecast of 55.

If 60 makes you head for heavy jackets, I'd seriously suggest choosing somewhere south of Interstate 10...

As someone who spent 14 years of winters in Florida only to move back to northern winters, it's taken me 7 years not to freeze my butt off everytime I step foot outside the door. Now I don't freeze but I'm still hating the cold weather.

Taking a true Floridian to Colorado in the middle of winter would be like committing murder....

You might also want to look into adding a Camp Chief Triton water heater and a rigging to make a shower, maybe a pan/tub with shower curtain in back area.

That Triton water heater is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I didn't even know those existed. Thank you for the recommendation!

Molly,
Thank you. I use it as my water heater in my motorhome.

Hello everyone, letting you guys know I will be selling my van. I have an opportunity to start a business so I am hopping on that train and need some help with start up fees, etc. So the van is reluctantly having to be sold. I lived in it for four months and loved every minute of it. Perfect for stealth camping. I parked downtown chattanooga for 4 months and was never hassled. I am located in Sarasota, Fl and i would love to see it go to a van dwellers home.
