Thank ya! I'll be adding some single celled insulation to the doors as well as auto carpet over the metal. The door cavities have been stuff to the brim with rock wool so they're quite insulated.Quote:

Never ran the furnace overnight while ski camping, unless it was in the minus 30s C. Just during morning and evening. (Where do you live that +5 F is considered cold? :) )
Really dig the idea of a stove to keep the moisture down and for long term camping.

Has it worked since, or no?Quote:

It seems to me the argument is not that you will need to camp in places where it may or not be allowed, but rather that you aren't fooling anyone when you do it.Quote:

Vasquez, the C Lot, the Rec Center, the park in HSS, and many other not so stealth locations appear to have people living there. We will see what happens when winter is here for real.
It is kinda live the whole VRBO/STR thing. Once "Everyone is doing it" the powers that be view enforcement of the rules and laws as too difficult and go flex their muscle elsewhere.
Yep. My wife's argument against a van is that she likes hotels and they are cheaper than a van. She'll gladly shell out $2k for accomodations for a ski week before she spends $100K to sleep in a van in the lot. :rolleyes: Some chicks just don't get it.

It's not like a ski lot is going to treat an RV, truck, camper, Subaru with air mattress and foggy windows, or a "stealth" van any differently if it isn't supposed to be parked there.
For the any #van_life snowflakes I've offended, let me make it up to you. If you ever have stealthy needs in West Portland, you just drive right past that Walmart and come park at my house for a night or two. Hell, I'll even run ya out some shore power. Just keep your knit hats, drum circles, poorly groomed dogs, and bong smoke in your tiny home, and for the love of God, stay off my lawn.

Shore power is a limited time promotion depending on how good the beer is that you bring from wherever it was you were.
I can give you my neighbor's WiFi password, but they might have changed it.
Offer expires once I get a new vehicle and reclaim my place in the driveway.
