Nice writeup.
I also live in a vehicle. I have a 25ft (7.6m) former airport shuttle bus I've converted to my home. It took me over six months of full time work and it's still not complete.
I've lived in it for a bit over four months. Overall it has been good but not without challenges. I'm currently busy working which has led to neglecting stuff I need to finish on the bus. I can't travel far until I finish these things.
Here are some recommendations and tips if you're considering this life:
* If you haven't spent time camping in a vehicle rent one for at least a week and try that first. It's not exactly the same but similar.
* Don't jump in blindly. Do significant research into what others have done, what works and what doesn't, etc.
* If you decide to build something yourself expect it to take at least twice as long and cost 50% more than you plan.
* Evaluate if it makes sense to do the build yourself. I wanted to build something physical instead of just writing code. Financially it would have made more sense for me to continue working full time and have a place like Sportsmobile do the build. I wouldn't have learned the skills and had the experience though.
I have a lot of build photos on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/driverdan/
I'm happy to answer questions.
