Collaspible water jugs are a good choice, you can fill up more than you can in a water bottle. And when empty they store excellent.

I was lucky enough to get your video when you installed your underfloor heating. Great solution and I really hope you get a chance to tell me how it works. And now I watched your video on costs and I must say you make a great presentation. You should be proud of yourself!!! I'm mostly interested in technology, so maybe that's what I watch the most. But I wish you the best of luck with all the content you have in your KZitem channel. Best wishes from Sweden!

When the weather is nice and in a rural area, laws notwithstanding, suggest cooking in a safe spot, over a fire with dead twigs and branches?? I am not a road person but I do love to dream!

I used to work painting in maine and i believe they were the cheapest campgrounds like 15 bucks a night.... I hope that helps u. I live in a trailer. So i kinda live in a van but stationary 😅😅😅😅 but yeah id have tried to help if possible 🥺lol its so cool ive always wanted to drive across the country. But yeah check out the aot's i believe they were made for bikers who were traveling cross country . Also theres these little stoves that my korean mom and aunts use. The can of fuel is the size of a can of spray paint... So they are very easy too use compared too propane or Coleman stoves. Heh, enjoy ❤😊

I dump my grey water where ever I want, and I dump my piss jug in the McDonalds parking lot sewer after I get my morning coffee. I refill my water at Walmart or windmill express stations with quarters. I go to food banks and tell them I'm poor to get food and say I have 3 kids and a wife so they give me more. I use Roamly for full coverage of the camper and all equipment. I don't ever pay for medical bills, I give them a fake name. I did sim card cloning to get free phone service and 5g, and use a repeater to steal wifi. I have no college loans, if I go to a coffee shop I don't buy anything. I use the washer/dryer of the next chick I am bumping. If not, I pay for it. I hardly use a stove, I've gotten used to eating dried, canned and food cold. I often use my dashboard to heat up food in the sun. I don't buy national park passes, if they catch me I just say "oh I had no idea I'm not from here" and get away with it. $1000 a year on fixes isn't bad. Mine is even lower. The only pet I have is my girlfriend.
