I've always found vanlife to be interesting. You gain a lot of freedom and flexibility but it's also complicated to balance parking spots / heating / cooling / water / income and so on.
I live in a notoriously hot/humid region, especially during the summer. However, I don't have A/C! If you notice I just have one big fan that blows and two little HVAC fans that suck the hot air out and I sleep comfortably at night. All you have to do is live close to work.
I’m curious how you keep the PC running is it on the portable battery thing? Or is it through another battery in your van. That stuff always confused me about van life.
