RE: [A/S] Live Aboard

<dave says> I have a friend who lives in his and just lives on the cheap by
parking it on the streets in Los Angeles, moving it occasionally.  He has a
generator that he fires up to charge batteries to run the TV and radio and
minor lights.  I guess it's a tough way to go without city hookups, but
people are doing it.  I'd like to hear from more people that have this type
of lifestyle mastered, but I think many of those on-the-cheap don't have too
much internet access to get online to write us.  A person can beat the high
monthly rent of having an apartment or house, and have the benefit of being
able to travel around.  My friend pulls his 26 footer around with an old
F-350 Ford pickup.  It seems to work well. He has to move it twice a week
because of Los Angeles's frequent street cleaning rules, which will cause
one to get tickets if they don't move when the sweeper comes.  It's a bit of
a hassle to have to move it around, but it beats spending high monthly
hookup fees, if you are living on a tight budget. I wonder where the best
cities and locations are for people to park like that, without police
hassle?

Airstreams.  I've lived 
in mine for 5 years this month.

<Dave says>  Are you saying that your time goes slowly, when you said "5
years this month"? Or was that a typo?
