Fantastic post. I've had every possible type of option over the years.
I do still have to laugh and smile when I see horror over $3.50 a gallon – still much cheaper than what anyone else worldwide pays (maybe with the exception of Venezuela!).
- Lived out of a tent beside a micro-car (don't even sell cars that small in the States from my experience
- A station-wagon type vehicle. Looks like 'Tight Squeeze' by your description but I didn't find that problematic – I had a small tent outside that my gear went into for when I was permanently based in one location.
- the ultra-cool camper van (in New Zealand). See image here: Picasa link
Sweet setup. They have a custom-built interior, very similar to the interior of a small yacht – it's all made of fiber-glass. Convertible bed into big seats, loads of storage space and really good mileage as those Toyota's are basically big cars. We regularly got 450+ miles on a tank. Had it's own cooler box, and DVD player also (I'm not joking!). Bad part of course is that we were renting this, but it cost about $500 a month – cheap when you put the price between two people.

I know that van is now my long-term goal!

Ha ha… I was actually surprised I fit as well. I had set it up that way just in case I got in a bind, and next thing I knew I was sleeping in the back every night. =)

I still can't believe you slept in the back seat of your car for 8 months! My legs would never fit!

I usually slept at campgrounds, but if en route to a new destination there are a couple of options. I absolutely HATE Wal-Marts, except for the fact that they welcome their parking lot to travelers, often even having security going around. If Wal-Mart is not an option, another alternative is hotel parking lots. Both these options proved to be very safe.

I did not read Steph Davis's book. I must admit that I rarely read climbing related materials or watch the videos. Funny, I know. =)
Thanks for stopping by and posting, Ben.
Best.
