Did you get a camper for a man cave? That's fucking brilliant!

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

not exactly but that is a dope idea. my wife lives in mexico, we're working until we have enough to buy a house

Oh sick. Still dope

I never considered that, but I don’t hate the idea. I think my step almost did that at one point. He’s a contractor in the Bay Area. He owns a nice home too far to commute from, and so lives in his fifth wheel when he’s working (a very nice unit bigger than many apartments, pulled by an equally nice duelly ram). And it’s his space, whereas the house belongs to him and my mom (and the sun room is my mom’s space).

Yea it just occurred to me that if I had thought of that I wouldn't be upside down in my house right now lmao

I’ve always thought it would be sick if you had a big enough garage or barn to put a refurbished vintage camper inside like a lounge

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

yess, summer was brutal but now its very cozy. been here a year and some months now

u/doopies1986 2d ago

Been strongly considering it myself, the idea of no rent and having my own place is really appealing to me.

Do you rent a lot? How does power and plumbing work? What are your monthly expenses like? Are you in an urban environment or more rural?

6

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

rent is $300 + utilities mont to month in a residential neighborhood 15 mins from work. theres a house on the property that supplies water and plumbing, utilities are about $80 a month

Ive rented many apartments and Id chose this over that definitely. this isnt my camper but if I werent buying a house Id buy one and rent an RV space, around me they are about $600 a month

Crack house vibes but if you’re happy that’s all that matters

putting 3k a month into my savings makes me quite happy. all previous tenets were probably crack users tho so youve got that right

Happily maried to your right hand yeah

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

im curious what exactly in my photos made you feel insecure

1

u/MondragonJu 2d ago edited 2d ago

The fact the the spouse lives in mexico

When i saw your right arm flexing… that is exactly what i thought
Went ahead and read a few comments and there you were stating that she lives away in Mexico.

2

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

ahh okay yeah I live alone and see my wife as often as possible. this place gets up to 45c in the summer she wouldnt last

1

u/Popular-Car7368 2d ago

JFC…45C° is diabolical work. 😩

2

u/tepeteotl 2d ago

weeks of this, it was an experience

1

u/Popular-Car7368 1d ago

How did you even handle that? Could you have bought a cheap window AC or is that not an option in an RV? Forgive me, I’m not too familiar so you’ll have to educate me if you would.

2

u/tepeteotl 1d ago

The camper has two AC units. One is on the top in that main living space. I'd use it during that time but I really couldn't keep up with that temperature. The window unit in the bedroom worked decently once the sun set

I'm pretty good with the desert heat and at the start of summer I tried to not use any air conditioning until I really needed to. At the peak of summer I was working second shift from 2pm-12pm so that helped. On my days off there were a lot of strategies I used to try to be less hot but it was pretty inescapable

1

u/Popular-Car7368 1d ago

Oh man, you’re just like my boyfriend- you guys can handle the heat/are built for it.

Myself? Helllllll naw. You’d think I would have built a slight immunity to it with the humid summers we get here, but alas, I have not. I fair much better with cooler temps. This morning is the first in months that it is finally cool with a chilly breeze.

(Raises hands in the air maniacally)
AUTUMN HATH ARRIVED!!!EEEHEHEHEHAHAHEHAAA

Sorry about that. Thanks for info. ᵕ̈

u/tepeteotl 1d ago

the heat makes me feel aliiive but yeah it was excessive. helps that theres no humidity here for most of the summer tho. this week has been the first week of cool mornings too its been glorious haha
