How Much Does it Cost to Live in a Van?
Used Van :
~$3,000
3 Months Rent in San Jose, Cali :
~ $3,300
The Van/RV/Car, you own. The
Apartment, you most likely will Never own!
You're there temporarily, until you lose your job or run out of money.
Repairs:
When you call or visit a mechanic, I say, "Good afternoon. Your shop had very good reviews! I was hoping for a complementary (written) estimate for repairs."
Do Not say, "Do you charge for Inspections?"
If you can befriend the staff at the Repair Shop, you have a better chance at getting discounts.
Some will try to over charge you if they think you are gullible. The best strategy is to stay amicable. "Oh, I have an estimate from the other shop for 20% less . ."
Which Van or RV to choose?
I had a Toyota Sienna 98 XLE for about a year. I took out all the back seats to use it for camping. After work, I would do Yoga inside of it. On my knees, my head would still hit the roof. I needed about another 3-4" of head room to be comfortable. Of course, the higher the roof, the less fuel efficiency.
