I love these bug out campers, only one I avoided were the pop up canvas ones as one does run into places that have bears one does not expect.
Going to the camper shows is a lesson in design, some of the ideas I have brought home to use in small rooms in my homes.
One can buy a used camper, for under $800.00 and redo the inside for Penny's on the dollar.
Best thing about solid shell campers is that in case your home is destroyed by flood, hurricane or tornado, you can live in it until the calamity is over.
Our last had heat, refrig , stove, and lights that would run on Propane. Slept 6, had a bathroom in case we camped at a place with no bathrooms or showers. 4 wheels and we bought it for $ 1,800, older model about 18 years old but in perfect condition.
I loved living the Gypsy life, we spent many a night in a Walmart parking lot or at the travelers rest stops.
Best thing was it could be hauled by a truck or SUV, plunk it down unhitch it and drive to see the sights.
The only thing I can think of to improve a camper would be to install a compost toilet so sewage would not have to go into a holding tank to be pumped out at a truck stop.
Gray water from the sinks and showers can be caught in buckets or into the ground as long as there is no chemicals in it.
One if they can needs to talk to construction crews that travel from site to site. One in NC on the VA line, Deep River Camp Grounds Hosts the workers that come up to do contracting for the Military.
They are true Gypsies, come with family's and kids that are home schooled. What an education the kids are getting as they move from State to State. As all the family's work for the same contractor, these kids all move together and become a sub culture we are not aware of.
