Living in a van can be exciting as well
as scary as hell. Figuring out how to support yourself and if you are
like me your animals.
I am lucky in that I do have a small
business online to help me some but it does take a lot of work and
having to have some sort of access to the internet. I also have a go
fund me campaign that I use when I can't feed my critters. I am sorry
they come first. They didn't ask for this lifestyle anymore than I
did.
So while I guess it is possible to
become debt free living like this it is also mind tiring. Budgeting
for the unknown is hard at times especially when you are doing
everything right. Right now I am behind on my unit rent and my
insurance because I had to dip into the money to fix my window...
sort of.
Remember when I said that my window
didn't work right when I was driving with the meter in? Come to find
out the meter had nothing to do with it. Boyd decided that the window
needed to go down. Not normally a problem except this time the window
didn't go back up.
I had the fuses checked they were fine,
the switch was fine, which left of course the most expensive part the
window motor.
Thank the higher power for YouTube.
There I found how to 1. change the motor once I can afford it and 2.
how to get my window up.
I now have a ratchet set from big lots
that is both standard and metric. I also have a window that is up all
for the total cost of $10 and some finger flesh. Now mind you I did
this in a busy parking lot and do you think any of the men going past
me even thought to ask if they could help? Hell fucking no! Which is
fine since this girl's daddy made damn sure she didn't have to rely
on a man for anything vehicle related.
Now mind you the window went down on
Sunday morning and I got it fixed on Monday afternoon. I boon docked
at the casino. I wrapped the door with my tarp and I do mean wrapped.
Leashes come in handy for more than walking your critters. I made
sure that the tarp was out of the door mechanism and shut it. Unless
you were one tiny snake you weren't getting past the tarp unless you
cut it.
After spending some money at the casino
and I walked out with more than I went in with always a good thing. I
went to bed. Around 3 am security decides I need to be woke up to see
if I am okay. WTF! I was sleeping!
Told him my windows don't work and I am
fine. Then this knuckle head asks if I am traveling? Um What gave you
that clue? The stuff in the back or the fact I WAS SLEEPING!
After wishing me a good evening he
leaves now I have to try to get back to sleep. Now I don't have a
clue if Rver's get this kind of treatment or not, somehow I don't
think so.
Tonight I will have this posted to my
passenger side window and the back of the van. Hopefully it will
allow me a nice sleep without interruption.
Please
Do Not Wake Me Up!
I
am fine.
This
is my version of an RV.
My
windows do not roll down and I will not open my doors at night for my
animals and my own safety.
My
pets are leashed during the day and are allowed to be off leash
inside.
I
do not drive at night.
Waking
me up only scares and disorientates me.
Once
you leave it takes me hours to go back to sleep.
I
only ask for the same curtsies you give Full Size RV's
Now
if my vehicle is on fire, in immediate danger from flood, tornado,
earthquake, or terrorist attack then by all means WAKE ME THE FUCK
UP!
Have
a pleasant evening.
Thank
You for your understanding,
The
mini RV (Van) Owner.
