8,000 miles round-trip...

[MrFungi]

I wouldn’t mind moving to NM.

I got a couple hotels in Colorado but that was it...

I slept in the vehicle and prefer it to hotel rooms.  

It is very comfortable and I do not need all the facilities.

I find it very easy to live without the running water and the other trappings.

Did you modify it or just sleep on the back seat? That is ok if you are small.
My car I used to take the bottom back seat out it came out with clips.
And put the back seats down opening to the trunk, and fit a single foam matress, so my head was like where the back seat is the legs in the trunk.
It was quite comfortable for weekends.
Better than the back seat where I had to put my feet up or out the window.
