Hello!
Call me Acorn,
Im 27 from Canada around the Toronto area.
I've been homeless while working full-time due to how unaffordable city life is on your own. I would just shower at gyms and if the weather was bad find some excuse to stay at a friends place.
Living reasonably well in a house with my girlfriend now, but ive really grown to hate the predatory nature of renting, and living just to work while having little to show for it.
Trying to find a way out of the horrible housing systems I was looking into tiny home living, and ended up discovering " Van lifers " and was sold on the idea instantly.
I really like the idea of buying a small u-haul type of vehicle,
and the plan so far is;
-Cut some windows into it
-Insulate the box
-Add some LED lights
-Add a small heater
-Add an extractor fan
-Add solar panel on top
-Add stove/sink combination
If built where enough space in conserved ( Fold up bed? ) I was thinking i could earn some money on the road using it to help people move, otherwise im thinking I could pick up odd jobs online or busk.
I want to be on the road within a year, and figured id need to find a place like this to learn from.

After browsing some of the posts here, i see that you advocate against insulating your home, can I ask why?
