Living in a Vehicle Guide by Nate Lenahan

This book is designed mainly to help the homeless, vanlifers, preppers, campers, and travelers.

For helping the homeless: while homeless people sometimes can be a nuisance, sometimes can feel threatening, and sometimes can make an area look ugly they always are human beings that are suffering and in need of help and this book helps to convince them to not be a nuisance, not be threatening, and not make an area look ugly as well as helps them to suffer less and be at least somewhat helped.

For helping vanlifers: while they often can afford a house or apartment but just would rather live out of a van as they enjoy the lowered living expenses, being a nomad, and often like to go traveling and so are not in a desperate need of help like the homeless they still can get some good ideas about how to structure-and-manage that style of living the best from this book as well as those that choose to live out of a vehicle in the style of vanlifers but just picked a type of vehicle that’s not a van.

For helping preppers: it helps them not just select the best type of BOV (Bug-Out Vehicle) (which in most areas is a van (not a big 4x4 truck)) and equip it the best but also helps them if they just want to better equip some other type of vehicle or even just want help selecting the best emergency preparedness gear for their house or apartment.

For helping campers: camping in your vehicle is safer, quieter, and more comfortable than camping in a tent and does not require the additional purchase of a tent and some of the camping gear covered is still good to have even if you still preferred tent camping.

For helping travelers: in a vehicle people can travel with a minimal negative impact on the environment, minimal using up our limited supply of fossil fuels, and minimal financial cost compared to long plane flights or going on cruises. And it’s safer if you travel around here in the US than how safe it is in many foreign countries and in many foreign countries there is a language barrier and there isn’t 1 here at least with the vast majority of people.

Covered in this book is how to convert a van into an RV yourself (including how to construct your own cabinets and why it’s recommended that you do and how they should be designed), what types of food, gear, and other items you would want to have in your vehicle, where to park, what free services to use, what not free services to use, vehicle security, and more.

This book is 177 Microsoft Word pages long at size 12 font and was last updated on 8/30/26.

To be added to the list to contact when the book comes out feel free to email me anytime 24/7 at: SurvivalPartyStore@gmail.com or call or text me anytime 24/7 at: (503) 983-8414. (I always set my cell phone to silent mode when I’m sleeping or busy but if I miss your email, call, or text I will get back to you as soon as I can.)

And if you know where I live please call or text to ask if it’s OK to come over 1st before coming over and if I don’t pick up or respond that means I’m sleeping or busy so please still don’t come over so only come over if I pick up or respond and say come over. And so while it’s always OK to call or text (even at 3 AM when most people are asleep) unless I say come by it’s never OK to come by not even if you already called or texted me 3 or more times without me picking up or responding, it’s 3 PM so since most people are awake you think I should be up at that time, if you aren’t usually in the area but are in the area now, if you have cookies, or any other reason. My number 1 reason for this policy of not letting anyone stop by unless I give the OK on the phone is I have an extreme case of chronic insomnia and so it takes me an average of 2 hours to fall asleep and I sometimes sleep during the day and lesser reasons are I value my privacy, a friend who is secretly a fake friend is more likely to do a break-in if they show and learn I’m not home, and a stalker is more likely to show up.

Thank you
