Van dwellers that call the east coast home - what do you do when traveling?
So I'm thinking of giving a go at van life. Probably not full-time (at first) but rather month-long stents. I currently live in central NC, but want to really explore the west, and hit up the national parks out there and BLM land in general.
So two main questions for those that live in the east and travel around:
1. If you have a van that is clearly an adventure style camper van (solar panels, ladders, lights, winches, bikes on the outside) ex: not a sleeper in the sense it could be construed as a contractor van, what do you do when traveling around east of the Mississippi without feeling like you need to get run out of town whenever you park anywhere for the night?
2. If while traveling out west where its generally easier to find a place to camp, and you want to go into town once in a while to get food or see a movie or whatever and park in the city, would you still get harrassed if you're just parked like any other car? Do you need to try to find a hotel? And what do you do about keeping your stuff from getting broken into while in those towns?
I probably have a bunch of other questions, but these seem to be the big ones on my mind atm. Thoughts?
