Whole bunch of folks tried telling you what you don't want to hear.
So here is what you want:
Yes yes buy a used up old contractors van. Park it on some nondescript residential street,while running you contractor generator.
Crap in a bag toilet 2 feet from your head and the drive around looking for a place to dispose of it.
I am sure that you will find some nice cozy retention pond to do your dishes in.
Your clothes soon will take on that well cared for musty smell that we all strive for.
Yes you be the Boondockin God!!!!!!!!
This right here shows complete stupidity on your part.
Ever hear of disposable dishes? paper or plastic plates? There is always the idea of using a simple 2-3 gallon wash tub for doing your dishes! Who'd have thunk it?
Ever hear of a 5 gallon water container?
How often do you do your laundry? once a week? have enough clothes to last a week or longer with the ability to wear clean clothes every day?
Crap in a can? no, if you bothered to check, the portable toilet has a storage tank at the bottom. you do your business, "flush" and what you get rid of is now in the bottom tank with the same stuff you put in any other chemical toilet... what a wild and wooly concept huh?
Who the hell said anything about parking in a residential area? I know I didn't. There are ALOT of places that one can legally park overnight. Did you notice that I mentioned a truck stop earlier? did I say anything what so ever about parking there for over 24 hours straight? I said I would be parked and inside the van ONLY when I need to sleep.
Long story short, look at all the long haul truck drivers that live in their trucks for weeks on end, no shower, toilet, bathroom, sink, nothing at all... They still stay clean somehow. They eat and sleep in their trucks. How do they do laundry? How do they get electricity? where do they park their trucks overnight? USE YOUR HEAD! Or are you just so stuck in your own little world that the very concept of thinking outside the box is just crazy?
I'm done.
All you naysayers have a nice life.
