So, I plan to buy an FE180, then have a 16' morgan dry truck body with roll up door and side door attached to it. I'll make the truck body livable and live on the streets of Los Angeles, CA!
Is this a good price for an FE180 http://www.commercialtrucktrader.com/listing/2013-MITSUBISHI-FUSO-FE180-110928877 ? Does anybody have an approximation of how much a 16' morgan dry truck body with side door costs?
It'll be cool 'cause I'll have the stealthiness of a commercial vehicle (nobody cares about box trucks around here), with the parking laws/plates of an RV (can bypass GVWR restrictions), and there are many urban campers around here (which I've only noticed since I decided to do this)... even a street lined with people living out of RVs, BMWs and Mercedez-Benwhatevers, next to a major hub of public transportation.
I'd rather pay 1k a month and live in a modern and decked-out truck with the latest Samsung washer and dryer, etc. than 2k a month of money that I'LL NEVER SEE AGAIN and basic or sub-par ammenities... Basically, I feel like a ***** paying rent for the low living standards of LA... Living out of a box truck won't affect my social life or income, and I'll be able to save to purchase a reeeally nice piece of land...
The only thing that would give me away is the roof... it'll have a solar panel array, a/c unit, etc. No windows... I'd also like a drumset in here, and that might give me away, too...
Also, is it possible to buy a 1k-2k, or less, sqft piece of land in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills (or anywhere in LA), and park my box truck (I've seen a box truck parked in the Hollywood Hills, on the owners land, that gets rented out on airbnb)? All land in LA seems to start at 5k sqft... I have found 1k sqft plots of land in Santa Monica, but they have homes on them, and demand prices of over 500k 'cause of it... I want to build my own microhome :|... Something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAOuUkQTqWE ... I admire what he's done...
I intend to build a 2x4 interior frame, insulated with densely packed http://www.homedepot.com/p/Blow-In-Natural-Fiber-Insulation-INS541LD/100318635# between sheeting and hardwood flooring above http://www.homedepot.com/p/DRIcore-...pen-Subfloor-Panel-CDGNUS750024024/202268752#... Do you guys and gals think that the drums will still be audible from the outside? I'll be able to fit a lot in here 'cause I don't need cabinetry
