We’re not homeless, we’re houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don’t worry about us – it can be a very good life.

Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

rules of engagement

be civil
use descriptive thread titles. Pro tip: “Help” or “Question” are not descriptive titles.
old-timers: assume people are different and have different needs, preferences, budgets, and use cases
newbies: demonstrate effort and willingness to learn; you’ll need it on the road anyhow. Links have been added below to help get you started. When asking question state your “use case” (what you are trying to accomplish); we are terrible guessers.
tire-kickers: yes, we’ve heard that “in a van down by the river” joke. It was hi-larious in 1993.
