    I find it outrageous that in a society that supposedly 'celebrates' differences, diversity etc, still doesn't fully accept van dwelling as an alternative way of living. We still get sneers and finger pointing and judgemental remarks. can you imagine if the same were true today of being gay or something. Selective differences is what this country celebrates. We are far more likely to be accepted in society if we were homeless in a shop doorway.

    Theres nothing wrong with it, but It's not really anyones business. It's not like you would go out of your way to tell people you live in a house. People do judge. The way I look at is like this: you should keep your professional life separate from your personal life. It's the same reason why businesses should stay out of politics or anything that distracts them from their purpose which is to provide a product or service and to make money!

Jesting aside mate, please don't take offense, we can see you've put some timbers on the waist line and that's no good for your diabetes or your sleeping thingy. My personal view after being with you on here (CZcams) for sometime now I feel I know you. You've a child on the way, forget about the "tech Nomad" and be Simon. If you want to be there for your child as he/she grows up start looking after yourself. All the very best mate

      +Moto Ionic I was going to have a rear kitchen and have seating / bed at front using the cockpit and space near side doors. But front seats do not have enough space for turning mounts to fitted. So going to have a Futon bed at the back and kitchen along the front behind the front seats.

    I strongly recommend you look into a Webasto air top heater or an S bar heater you can get them to pipe into your vehicles gas tank and they run off gasoline or diesel in the used very little electric off your batteries I have one in my van and it works great

    • @TechNomadUK
      @TechNomadUK Před 7 lety

      Cheers chap for the advice I had looked at similar diesel heater system a few months back. The only issue here in the UK is the price of diesel is crazy high compared to the US and some of Europe. So will have to work out what the average running cost is.
