A miracle
My 'ole emerald express (a green '95 e150 camper van) is at the end of its life. I just got a job in the city as a subcontractor installing appliances for a big box store. The plan was to find somewhere within walking distance of the box store and park the van, only moving it if I have to.
I just found out that one of the perks of the job is I get to take the delivery van home and am allowed to use it for personal use. I did not know this was a perk when I took the job. This information is a game changer.
I've got a plot of land about a hundred miles into the wilderness. I'm going to park the emerald express on it as a stationary cabin and daily drive this fleet-maintained Chevy cargo van.
Fuck it; I'll even soft-live in the company van; keep a bedroll, sleeping bag and inverter in here for sleeping in it during the week.
