It's one of my all time favourites. It's about a guy who lives in a van. He's one of my Simple Living heroes. He wrote about his transition from "normal" life to van life. That part is really interesting. To find that part, click on the link to the old site: 1.0, then at the bottom there's an archive listing. If you're looking for a lot of reading I highly recommend starting at the beginning. It's really useful and inspiring information for van living in the US.
