  • I've been living in my Ford Transit Connect for two months and love it. It's a perfect size for me! However, it gets VERY cold up here so I got an apartment for the colder months. I wish I could live in it year-round but it's not feasible, especially for a smaller vehicle like the Connect that requires some degree of cooking outside. :(

    You are a very impressive...because you are a survivalist. You are saving so much money, i.e. dorm w cafeteria or an apartment would 12K a year maybe (low end). A young woman with iron will.love it...keep up the good work. Tips: you could easily rig up a make shift pressurized shower with a garden sprayer. Just swap out the nozzle for a shower head. For security, keep a air horn and pepper spray ready.

    Hey hun, I love your vibe. I relate to everything you say it’s sooo funny! I’m just finishing my Masters in Wales and living in my van full time for 3 months now. Busy writing my dissertation and hahah the shower comment, I don’t shower sometimes for 3 days and when I do it’s like heaven. I’m working part time 3 days a week it’s super awesome although I’m looking forward to finishing my dissertation as I’m keen to hit the road.

    My first cousin lived in his car for the first 2 years of law school. It gets cold up here in Nova Scotia in the winter. Don't know how he did it. Good luck with your masters.

    Cool. I totally agree with you, and do the same in my van living life. Showering every three to four days is awesome, and just throwing food into a pan is turns out always tasty. 🙌👍

    I cook and do it most inside of my mini-camper.
    Because outside it is forbidden, here in Germany.
    Only allowed in public at camp- and rv-grounds. But you must pay for every day there.
    But it is too expensive for me. But i don´t want to pay for. For the reason for legal parking and doing.
    We got the planet earth for free. So I wanna live and do it, for free.

      Yes it's right on campus! When I took my trip out west I was in the woods and without service for a few days at a time. But always kind of "off grid" in this vehicle. :) Agreed!!

      I do, but I wouldn't want to live in it all winter. Expensive to buy so many propane cans and risky to be inside an enclosed space with a propane heater running every night. :)
