Living in a camper?

Question

anyone who does can you tell me the ins and outs ect

Answer 1

We don't live in one but my husband had a old work van he converted into a camper and we've stayed 15 days in it on vacation. Space is a premium so you got to learn how to cook in 3 pans, cooking & heating fuel which we use propane 30 lb bottle, bathing is a problem so he devised a outdoor shower with a 10 gal Jerry can, laundry has to be done in a washateria, have plenty of dvd movies and a 13" TV & dvd player. Get ready for tight quaters.

Answer 2

As opposed to things like mobile homes, campers are intended for "camping".  In other words, the walls are poorly insulated, the windows are single-paned, they can get cold really quickly in cool weather. Likewise, they can become quite warm in summer.  They also aren't built for 24/7 use.  You will find the fridge, stove, AC, battery, inverter, etc., will break down faster than similar items do in a home.

There are lots of "little things" that become annoying.  Internet service, laundry, the piddly showers, low-ceilings (if you're tall), very tiny space, that "smell" that campers out-gas, refilling propane tanks.  Not everyone is up for this. It depends on your personality.
