Living in vans, cars, RVs, etc
We're not homeless, we're houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don't worry about us -- it can be a very good life.
Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

rules of engagement
- be civil
- use descriptive thread titles. Pro tip: "Help" or "Question" are not descriptive titles.
- old-timers: assume people are different and have different needs, preferences, budgets, and use cases
- newbies: demonstrate effort and willingness to learn; you'll need it on the road anyhow. Links have been added below to help get you started. When asking question state your "use case" (what you are trying to accomplish); we are terrible guessers.
- tire-kickers: yes, we've heard that "in a van down by the river" joke. It was hi-larious in 1993.

Fair enough. :-)
I figured if I didn't specify folks would ask "wtf are you getting it that cheap?" I get veggies, spices, etc from the local (ahem) Mexican grocery because those items are srsly cheap.
This looks really good.
This looks tasty, and like it is a great cheap meal
Genuine question, is there a legal risk to having alcohol in the van? They are incredibly strict where I'm from, and don't care if the vehicle is off or what ever before slapping you with a DWI/DUI
is there a legal risk to having alcohol in the van?
Yes. I don't drink often (can't afford it) but when I do it's usually sharing some whiskey around a campfire in the boonies. I've had a beer with dinner nearer to civilization but hangovers are less fun after the beard gets gray....
Gotcha. Thanks for answering, and stay safe!
