That would be a long story, but I am a 25 year old college dropout who found out I'm good at figuring out how people think so I currently work in sales for a tech/finance company and am above average successful in my field. However, I hate it. I could buy a house right now, but the thought of...

Doesn't feel like there's many realistic opportunities like that right now. Sure, I could go start a pool cleaning business and work 10 hours days and technically own my own business, but I currently make more than that guy would by working less hours. And the whole "hustle culture" fad is just...

Totally agree, but I've given up on stealth. At first, stealth was my #1 priority. But after talking to a lot of people who live in vans, truck campers and RVs and considering it more, turns out stealth really isn't that big of a deal. So I'm going to give up the stealth factor in order to get...

This is a good idea! I've thought about doing a flatbed conversion for whatever truck I get to save weight and allow for more fitment options of campers but a utility bed would probably make more sense

A trailer would make more sense if I was going to have a consistent place to park it, but seeing as I will most likely be forced to boondock in cities 90% of the time, that would be a much more difficult thing to be moving around all the time than a camper in the bed. A small truck camper is...

Yes, but with that comes significantly more fuel consumption when pulling it than a slide in camper would take (I should clarify again that I will be going with a fairly small camper. Not GFC small, but nowhere near as big as some can get). Also, much harder to boondock in a city with a trailer...

That was my first thought too since a van is the "default" option everyone goes to when doing this. But I am pretty certain a truck is what I want. Besides stealth and the simplicity of having a van all be one package versus a truck with a separated camper, why do you say a van would be better?

Yeah, I have been strongly considering getting a camper trailer to tow instead. But I have a lot of hesitations with it. It would make boondocking in an urban city incredibly difficult because a trailer takes so much more space and is more conspicuous than a camper sitting inside a truck bed...

Yes no question that the Tacoma couldn't handle it. You think a 90's gas F150 would be reliable enough to not end up stranded on some Nevada highway in 118 degree heat? It's going to be a different level of reliability I'll need considering I will almost always be in places where I don't know...

Thank you, I will read through that thread. Supposedly from some googling, the 90's F250 diesels are in the ballpark of around 4,000 lbs payload capacity but I could do some more definitive research to confirm that.

Definitely going much larger than a GFC. I plan on buying a run-down old solid wall cab over and gutting the inside to rebuild the interior setup lightweight and minimalistically, similar to how people build out the inside of vans. I was hoping I could keep the whole camper around 1,500 lbs and...

I am located in Utah, USA. However one of the biggest draws of this type of living is the ability to move around frequently. I have lived out of a Subaru hatchback before and loved the freedom, but obviously a small car isn't comfortable. I also won't be using unemployment or any handouts, I...

Hello friends, I was hoping you could help me decide between a couple trucks for living in full time with a slide in camper. I'm a 25 year old guy feeling extremely unsatisfied with living the 9-5 rat race life, and managed to both be alienated by my family as well as broke up with my girlfriend...

I bought a Tacoma with a 5 foot be when I was too young and dumb to properly think through what a mistake it would be seeing as I am 5'9" and primarily wanted a truck for the purpose of camping in. Now instead of selling it for a long bed version (believe me I have considered it many times, but...
