My bf and I want to start living in an RV or possibly convert an old transit van. I'm not brain dead and I could wrap my head around a Haynes manual, so older beaters aren't off the menu. What are some /o/ suggestions?

Already being considered:
>Chevy Astro/Safari (2WD, fuck the all wheel drive model)
>Ram ProMaster/Sprinter
>$5000 International school bus in running condition

Are you going to stealth in the city or boondock inna woods?

>my bf and I
Gay?

>>16867011

I'm in Portland, OR so it'll be pretty urban. I'd be able to use places like Motel 6 for showering here and there, and a gym membership for shitting and piss bottles otherwise.

I have an e250 with solar panels and 3 deep cycle batteries to power an AC, fridge, and cook top. Then things like chargers etc. It's easy to do, just do your research. For more living space, buy an old RV from the 90's and spend a LOT to fix every suspension/engine related issue, no matter how small. Trust me, you don't want to break down in the middle of nowhere. Or get an old retard bus. Lots of room in them and the diesels are good.

>>16867178
Saw a literally rusted through one. "$6k, they are rare! No engine, needs interior!!" HAHAHA idiots.
>>
>>16867264
I do not understand the appeal of them at all, must be a boomer thing. Also they have fucking sub 100 horsepower so good luck going anywhere uphill.

I don't know why, but I read this in Tommy Ching's voice

Would I be better off running a gas generator when stopped to generate power rather than a deep cycle battery setup with solar? I wouldn't need power on the move at all.
>>
>>16867413
Absolutely not. Are you a dumb person?

>should I get a loud generator that requires carrying cans of gas all the time
>or a few quiet deep cycle batteries
>>
>>16867416

It's not 1985, they're not that loud or fuel inefficient anymore. A jerry can on the rear door is not going to ruin my life.
>>
>>16867428
So you are literally a dumb person. I have a "quiet" generator. They are "quiet" like a leaf blower.
>I would rather carry a large generator and cans of gas than get 2 batteries and a solar panel that cost me nothing to run.

>wanting to hear nearly 80DB instead of 0DB
>>
>>16867428
so peaceful, get a battery asshole.

Unless you live in a sunless area, solar is pretty hard to beat.
However the new inverter generators are pretty amazing.
Super efficient and can run an ac unit.
>>
>Me and my bf
>Want to live in a transit van
>Old beaters aren't off the menu
>Lives in Oregon

You couldn't sound gayer if you tried.
>>
Not op. But same kind of question.

>>
>>16867001
>any suggestions
