      You know if you covered the top with solar panels completely and did an electric power swap it could probably work even better as a house on wheels, that way since he's mostly using the vehicle for living he could have a larger battery pack that could be used for driving or living. The extra panels would just keep him topped off easier and possibly allow him to run things with a higher power draw.

      It works! I learned a trick long ago from an old movie by Robert Downey Jr, this is literally like 40 years ago. When he knew he was parking illegally, he put an old speeding ticket under his wipers. The idea being it would get passed up as already ticketed.
      Another trick I used at school (ASU early 90s) was this. See, every damn school and building had its own parking pass. Giving them 80k a year wasn't enough. They wanted me to pay for 6 different building parking areas.
      So my trick was, and still is... Put the hood up, hazard lights on, and a rag over the radiator cap.

Dude did this for a few years, it was genius. On super cold nights, he crashed in the basement of the library, no one EVER went down there (including myself, and I worked there for 10 years).

    This has got to be The Smartest tiny home build I have ever seen! And I have watched literally hundreds of tiny home videos (from all kinds of channels, not just this one). Having to constantly deal with either space rent or having to "get permission" to park - those are problems because the rent can go up, or the owner of the space can decide they won't rent anymore. Also getting permission to park on someone's property is great - until they rescind their permission. Seems most tiny homes are very reliant on where they can be. This guy figured out a way around that. Major kudos! Really awesome job.

      I’d have turned it up the other way for a couple of reasons, rain would run off it better, instead of being scooped inwards and with it turned the other way you’d be able to scope out that side of the van to see who or what was outside. A fly screen would also be a good idea.

      Yea unfortunately tiny home/alt living are advertised as something everyone can do but that's far from the truth. Tons of people who build these homes have some kind of labor skill that transfers over to help reduce cost OR they already make a solid wage and can afford to slowly work on it over the course of a year+. Most videos I find they're always like a 3rd generation carpenter with a family of electricians/plumbers or their some high paid salary person who works remotely. This lifestyle is far from achievable for most people.
