I've spent my life with cruising sailboats. What's the difference? A marine head with a holding tank is just a fancy port-a-potty. With a cheap generator, you can run a $100.00 A/C and keep your space cool in a heat wave. They only pull 4 amps so you don't need much of a generator. You can take a shower at the office instead of motoring your dinghy to the marina and taking a shower there.

Over the years, I know people who have floated houseboats in the harbor in the summer. They never had problem getting girlfriends and most of the houseboats were couples.

Sure, been there, done that. But the guy's truck doesn't have any of that. Maybe he should've bought a small RV. But that probably would have cost him more.

Google has everything he needs. Shower, laundry, sleeping area (although I think you do have to reserve a spot). Technically you wouldn't need an RV. The car is really just to store his wardrobe and personal stuff since he is probably in an open office space.

That's fine as long as you don't need to use a bathroom between the time they close, and the time they open the next morning, or if you don't need A/C, like during the 100+ temps the area had recently. Those are the kinds of things we were talking about, just a bit ago.

in a fantasy world, where every thing is black and white, where one will not find prejudice to this, it would be ideal. but, come on man! that is too low budget, and very scary. "hey come over to my truck, to spend the night", would be a creepy invitation which would leave one running for the hills.

I would also say the image of Chris Farley "living in a van down by the river" dances in my head.

what happens when a guest needs to powder her nose? or you have to take a midnight "duece"? walk over the the office building?

Yeah, I'm not going to go back to anyone's van or other type kidnap mobile.

This is pretty funny, and I understand where you're coming from. But I imagine there would be very few invitations to spend evenings in the truck itself. The invite could be more like, "Hey, do you want to spend the weekend at (fill in the blank exotic place) because of all this extra money I'm saving by crashing in my truck during the week?"

I imagine there'd be little to no need for visitors to powder their nose if they're only using the truck for brief visits, or for trips to the mountains or the beach or the airport. Just a thought ...

He has disposable income. I am sure he can afford to treat the special lady to a five star hotel or something romantic for dates.

A lifestyle that fits the work hard play hard mantra.
