Replies to the comment you are now reading accurately describe my ideas so the original post has been replaced by this disclaimer to spare your time :)
I know nothing about the details of your situation, but this doesn't sound likely to be a wise move.
Living in a car rather than the cheapest accommodation you can find means (leaving aside the issue of romantic/sexual relationships, though you should reconsider whether burning your bridges there is really likely to be best for you):
Those seem like substantial drawbacks. If you have the sort of skills that give a real prospect of success making "novel consumable services/products", can't you rent somewhere cheap and pay for it by doing some sort of freelance work a day or two a week, and have a better quality of life overall?
The traditional approach here is a gym membership.
Likewise, a PO Box. (This doesn't work for everything, but gets close; I know there are a handful of online mail services for nomads that I am not familiar with.)
Yup. But these aren't free, and the whole point here is to save money. (Right?) I don't have a very good idea of just how not-free they are, though; Clarity should do the calculations and work out just what the saving ends up being.
Each of those are roughly $10-20 a month.
That's a lot cheaper than in the UK where I am, I think. (Typical gyms seem to be at least ~£30/month; PO box ~£20/month. £1 is about $1.60. Perhaps one can do much better by seeking out the cheapest. I haven't looked very hard...)
