Has anyone attempted to live out of their teardrop?

I spent quite a few nights in mine last year, but not fulltime. I hope to live in it for around 4 months this year, gonna take an extended trip to AK!

I dunno about his blogging, but my guess is that Nick (like many others) got very discouraged writing for Examiner after a little thing we writers like to call "Mayhem 2.0." They got it into their heads to put the site on an alpha version of Drupal 7 in the summer of 2010, and it's been one example of bad design and poor marketing judgement ever since.

I started with a local edition column for Examiner in February, 2010. Then I added a second column with wider appeal, and things were looking very promising (earnings doubling every month) until Mayhem 2.0. It took me a full year (most of 2011) to rebuild my columns' readership after all the technical glitches and the barrage of pop-up ads that plagued the site for months.

When people see the siren call "write for us," they don't really do the math. But at $0.006 cents per page view, it takes a whole lotta page views to make any kind of serious money writing for the Ex. Writing about Twilight might do it. Writing about green living, as Nick was doing? Probably cost him more to generate the columns than he made from publishing them.

Although not intending to live in one full time , here we are subject to the occasional “evacuationsâ€

[T@Baker]

A lady lived in her T@B for a year while volunteering, which paid for her campsite. Organizing is very important, as well as storage. I would want a full-sized van for extra storage, esp. for out-of-season things.

We set ours up in the backyard last year because weren't able to go anywhere(eye surgery etc.) camped out and slept out there from about the first part of june till the first part of dec.We'd get ready to go to work in the house then head out there around 6 to 7 in the evenings.Cook supper,watch a little tv then go to bed. Made for a nice close get away.

I had to live out of the Giant TD when we went to MO last year. I only had to do it for about a week. Or was it 10 days. It was not comfortable...

I don't know what it would take to make it comfortable, but I suspect a table, 2 chairs, a fulltime bed, and a porta potty plumbed into a campground sewer system. For a fulltime system, you need an indoor galley too.

Slow,
you live where the city folk will be wanting to "Bug Out" to during a society collaspe. (If that is what it's called?)

I think it would be very hard to live in a teardrop.. Like others said a table and chairs, indoor kitchen area, some storage space. All that stuff are kinda of basic needs.. Heck Even a jail cell has a place to stand up, a sink and a toilet..
You can find older travel trailers in decent shape pretty cheap, Heck Thema trailers are still everywhere. Now you can buy used ones.. People picked them up for 3500-7k around here I would think finding a slightly used one for 2k wouldnt' be to hard.. Plenty of places around here that will rent spots for them pretty cheap.. Some even have laundromats.

Hahahaha I never thought about it till 8ball_99 said it but all you really need is as small as a space as a jail cell if you have all your basic needs met exersize out side eating outside ect ect... interesting way of looking at it

LoL Don't get me wrong I've Never been to one,, But I did watch a special on alcatraz the other day

[droid_ca]

it totally had me thinking differently cause I was wanting do be able to go on extended camping trips as I have been known to go for a month at a time but now I have more stuff coming with me makes it a little more difficult...but as long as you have what you need to survive all should be OK and anything els is considered luxury

In the summer of 2010 I spent 3 months living in a two man tent while traveling the west flyfishing. The wife flew out and spent two weeks in Yellowstone with me. So it can be done quite easliy. You just have to decide what your needs really are. You have luxuries and you have neccesseries. You decide.

In Oct 2010 I bought a teardrop, its like a hotel on wheels. I now have a side tent, a screen tent, shower/porta potty tent, and a 75 quart Yeti cooler. Damn talk about luxury.

I just got home from a two week trip to Florida to photograph the lighthouses of Florida. Oh and I cook all my meals at the camp.

Happy trails.

What we use with both our teardrop & our CT13 Uhaul camper is a Northern Breeze by Eureka screen house. It has flaps to close it in and we can heat it with a Mr Heater. We cook in it in bad weather, put the picnic table in it and our lawn chairs. For our recent 3 week trip the Uhaul worked good and we plan on "snowbirding" it next winter for 3 months with the Uhaul.
