Yeah...So I plan on living in my van during college. Its a 1993 gmc Vandura 2500 the back is aprox 6 by 9.5 by 4.5. Luckily, I have about $3,000 to invest into it (aside from appliances), so it wont be so bad. I've been planning this since I was in 7th grade, however I still have a few issues.
Most importantly, powering the appliances. solar panels would cost too much...so is there any way to power batteries off of the gas engine, and use them during the night? This is a list of the appliances I will use, and approx how long during each DAY....yes, this is quite a bit of power...which is why I also wonder if hooking up several generators (making sure of theft-proofness, and safety w/fumes) would be an option
20" tv +satellite equipment 3 hrs/day
Laptop 5 hrs/day
3 15 watt lights 10hrs/day
1000 watt microwave .25 hrs/day
surround sound/stereo equip 6 hrs/day
