Hygiene tip learned from a missionary - bathe in the desert? Not hardly - having a cotton ball & rubbing alcohol can give one a smell elimination- use on underarms for a quick refreshing.

This is a great idea. I agree.

Not a van, but another alternative...one I'm also saving for!

Hey guys,

There are so many options out there these days for people to save money and van living is just one of those. When I first heard o people trying to live fulltime in their van, I was a little taken aback, but the more I researched it, the more I realized that it's really not that bad of a lifestyle. Yes, you give up some of the convieniences of modern life but look what you can gain.

Low cost of living

Freedom to travel

Ask yourself: What's that worth to me?

Could I sacrifice where I use the bathroom or shower, in order to be able to spend my time enjoying life?

I think I could make it work.
