      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.

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).

      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.

    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.

      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.

      @@johnwyatt8057 is that the rent average for studios where you live? You’re in NY right? Out here in CA, the inflation is crazy now…. If you look really hard you can find a studio for like $1,000 but if you want a modern one with good electric in a less sketchy area, you’re looking at $2,200 and up. It’s not do-able for a lot of people…. I’ve had my place for 9 years so I’ve been lucky to not have high rent but the debt I’m in is crippling so living like this in a stealth truck apartment is something i romanticize with all day. Some people try to emphasize this as a temporary situation because they don’t like the idea of people not settling down (as it can create higher crime in some ways) and other things like commitment issues and sometimes even I’ve heard people mention that temporary element in a snarky “not a high achiever like the rest of us” kind of tone. Some are not seeing or realizing the higher you climb the economic ladder the harder you can fall down because of finances. So the idea of complete freedom and the ability to move anywhere at anytime is like….. eating a delicious meal after you’ve been starving for months, to a person like me. A person who sacrificed a lot to make tons of money only to realize a hurtful conclusion about money, social status. Etc. Don’t mean to
      Project anything on here but what I’m saying is, some of us are nomads, some of us are meant to stay put. Freedom on wheels is what i see here! Freedom and comfort in the smartest way.
