Hi, I'm Earl. I worked thirty-four years at a tire plant in Akron, Ohio. When my wife June passed, the house got too quiet and too expensive, so I sold it and bought an old 2003 Ford van for $3,400.

That was eleven years ago. I've lived in her ever since, across 41 states, with no solar, no heater and no fancy build. Just a mattress, a few wool blankets and a notebook on the dash where I write down every place I've slept.

On this channel I share what I've learned the hard way: where you can legally sleep in a vehicle, how to stay warm on freezing nights, the cheapest ways to call something home, and the mistakes that get people towed, fined or hurt.

Whether you live in a vehicle, you're thinking about it, or you just want to know how people like me get by, you're welcome here.

New videos every week. Stay warm, stay legal, and I'll see you down the road.
