Live well on the road or on a boat. Written for anyone who wants to know how people are able to live without being tied down but without necessarily giving up comfort or security. Offers insights and ideas for intentional nomads, campers and RVers, Vanlife, Loopers, boaters, cruisers-and anyone who wants to live well both off-grid and on. Living Mobile is a complete overview of the requirements to fulfill your dream of escaping the static life. This book has three main parts. Part One is a comprehensive treatment of life needs or problems and their fulfillment or solution while living on the road or on a boat. Setting up the platform, what you can do with it, and how you can maintain a stable and civilized lifestyle in the contemporary world as a nomad. Practical solutions to make the dream a reality at various budget levels with a strong emphasis on up to date electronics. From integrated systems within your platform to integrated solutions for how you live and thrive and interact with the world. Part Two offers nine sample platforms, discussed in careful detail, that cover the full range of small-scale mobile living solutions. From a minivan on up to a custom trailer or RV. From an old sailboat on up to a solar powered global cruiser. With extensive discussion on various permutations and what all you can do with a given platform. Part Three is a collection of important bonus material that expands upon the themes of the book. A section devoted entirely to the new LiFePO4 batteries and their long-term use. Another with a specific discussion on electric drive boats and how they compare to traditional propulsion-the real benefits and drawbacks. Methods for protecting consumer electronics in harsh environments. And more. The scope of this book is too broad to include as much detail as may be desired, but each section includes carefully selected links and resources, in multiple formats, to aid in further research efforts. There is an abundance of information available online and elsewhere for many of the topics in this book (though not all), but the text itself and included links render manageable the information overload of the internet and help you to focus on the important things. Living in any manner in this modern world is an expensive and complicated necessity but living mobile in particular, short-term or long-term, can be even more so. The knowledge value of this work goes far beyond monetary savings, but the information contained within will enable you to streamline efforts and reduce costs well below what they could be. Let these insights and ideas help you on your way to a better life.
