Got any examples?
Should I get a camper?
>Own land
>Pay landlord
I don't think you've thought this all the way through.
What he means is, he can't afford to own land if all his money is being spent on the land (not owned by him) he currently lives on.
Are you searching Richmond craigslist? Or was that just a random example? I saw a 70s in good running condition go for $5k a month ago. I’ll see if I can link you some examples.
Are you able to do basic engine maintenance/work under the car yourself? Can you do basic carpentry/kitchen repair? This all comes into consideration
No and no
And yes I'm looking in Richmond
Pic related is the style I was thinking in my head. Obviously an older one will look different but similar style.
Hers one from Richmond CL that’s larger but still a good deal:

Alternatively if you don’t have a tow-worthy vehicle get one and a tow-behind trailer. Very convenient if you decide to travel within this timeframe of minimalist living. One engine to maintain, leave the trailer and run errands or whatever. Just be cognizant of space necessities once you’re 3 months+ into this endeavor and try to work it out before diving in. Lastly, a YMCA membership goes a long way for occasional showers in a a space that’s not confined like the travel trailer. You’ll also want a source for water filling and dumping. Americamps allows it for a small fee, better off having a rotating list of friends who’ll let you fill but dumping will be a harder issue. You have lots of research into this lifestyle, LOTS to consider, but it is very doable.
Also for CL look in cities that have lot of transient travelers or camping. Charlottesville, Norfolk, Raleigh, Asheville (if they have a CL), and maybe up into Pennsylvania if willing to travel that far to pickup, just be wary of body rust on a PA vehicle
That looks like it uses a shit ton of gas. I have to move it to a different spot everyday so I don't draw suspicion
Thanks
