    That's great, and I don't consider my self home less, it's just rented out to people that want to live there more than I do.

    A man does not own his possessions, his possessions own him. With the less is more attitude it's not hard.
    Take away a house note, water and power bill and all of a sudden you have a lot of extra money a month that can take you wear ever.

    That's what my best friend does. He used to do two weeks on, two weeks off, but the company he's with now just moves military assets at NOB, so he's home pretty much every night now.
    That's pretty awesome, though- living out of your Taco. I'd like to see lots of pictures- you must have a killer setup! :)

    Cheers, and welcome to TW!

    Very intriguing, OP. Definitely get a build/journal thread of your travels.

    How many miles do you put on your Taco each year?
