 Fast and simple, this is as minimal as it gets. You're in a metal box that keeps the elements off of you, and everything else is done in a similar way to backpacking.  Also see [[opinion:frater_secessus:cheap_build|frugal camper builds]].

 ===== The Weekender =====
-By now you're started to think you might like this whole van-life thing.  You're going to spend multiple nights in it, maybe go a little farther and try your hand at the occasional boondock. You're going to start the built and have some tools, and abilities to make more permanent modifications.
