> Everybody shits, everyday! How is going to the bathroom "not important"?

You also eat every day. Some people eat outside, some cook, some skip meals. Some people don't have fridge. Some have fancy knives.

A constraint is a constraint for everybody, but making that constraint an entry in your pros / cons list for doing something is not universal.

> Lastly, I didn't "choose a trailer" I worked my way up to one (financially), suffering along the way with all the inconveniences that come with no bathroom, kitchen or running water.

I have no idea what to make of that, but, ok, I guess ?




> You also eat every day.

You know what else is a giant pain with no running water or electricity (beyond a battery)? Cooking!

My point was that I always wanted a trailer I wasn't romanced by the thought of van living, my priorities didn't change - I just simply dealt with it. Live on the road is much better now, I just want people considering tiny homes, or vans to understand ALL that's involved.


Oooooohhhhhh.

Sorry, I completely missed that.

I didn't consider somebody might be forced to compromised for a van. I never could afford a van when I was at the time where I would have wanted one, and now that I can, I don't want the van life style, so I did not understand your point.

That was short sighted of me, apologies.
