I'm stuck between a big van that looks like a van and not an rv so I can park anywhere I want and not be in trouble. like Walmart, or city streets, basically somewhere that a van wouldn't look out of place.
but if I have a small traditional looking RV then I'm pretty much stuck in rv parks about 80% of the time I'm guessing?? or can they park on city streets without trouble from police and their tickets? they obviously look like RV's and not delivery vans....
It seems you're talking of a regular cargo van rather than a Class B RV that some folks here are thinking of.
A cargo van is not going to have plumbing, toilet, shower or kitchen facilities..... unless you redo the inside.
Therefore, you are going to be constantly looking for places to do your bathroom/kitchen things.
I'd recommend you consider a small RV. There are plenty of gorgeous free boondocking spots throughout the country - even with a lake or river view - without having to park on residential streets... and yes, you will get noticed and most often, not favorably.
Also, it seems it would be hard to 'kill time' all day long day after day until time to park on the street to sleep. Parking on national forest or BLM lands would give you an opportunity to sit outside or go for a hike in beautiful surroundings until time for sleep. Waking up to those beautiful surroundings would also be a plus. Take along a small grill and enjoy the outdoors. You can't do that on a city street.
Good luck with your decision.
