Nice chat Steve. I'm doing this life style for some of the same reasons you are. Fortunately there are enough parking places to make it viable, if you know where to look. And finding fellow van/bus lifers also makes the journey easier. Keep the scenery changing and enjoy your travels!

I hear you! <br>That book sounds priceless ... I think many are jealous because they have been indoctrinated/brain washed to conform.<br><br>But my understanding from local councils is that they all interpret the law differently. Their main issue is that they are losing income when you are not paying them for building permissions, rates and utilities. They are scared of the freedom / break away from the system that van lifers are creating. Yet the fact is, most will never do it! The majority will still conform to generating income for councils and pay outrageous utility bills. If they realised that they might back off a bit. <br><br>I got chased out of one area with my tiny home ... yelled at, abused, threatened with huge fines. Now that same council is allowing rough camps by lake/river sides so long as they are not visible to the general public, that nobody complains. They even mow paths for those battlers to walk along and will collect their rubbish. So there can be a huge turn around as they get educated ... so keep up the good work!
