Warren from Park City was camping in his VW Eurovan at the South Side yesterday. Sweet setup, it's got a propane stove and refrigerator. If it were mine, I'd set up a black AVS pipe rooftop hot water solar shower too. Would need to think how to route the pipe around the popup camper shell however. Maybe setup some solar panels too and you'd be really good to go.
With that kind of vehicle, even in Hawai'i, you could skip out on monthly rent too, in addition to skipping the whole homedebtor debacle.
Speaking of rent, my place has gotta be the best deal on Maui except for location. I could only justify moving if the price increased to the comparable rate as upcountry. From what I've heard from my pilot buddy Jay-Dawg the cheapest upcountry detached rental is like $1300/month. You can go cheaper, but your privacy is compromised as the unit is usually attached room or basement of the primary residence. Not exactly the prices you'd want or could pay as a kiteboarding/paragliding instructor with part-time web/Linux coding work.
So we come back to the idea of nixing rent and going full time with the live-in camper surf van.
The biggest downside would be finding a hassle-free off-street repeatable camping site. A place where the harassers^w police wouldn't screw with you. Wonder how much a landowner would ask for renting an off- or semi-off street parking space. I'll ask craigslist about the economics of this and will report back my findings.
