Nowhere to bathe or shower or even wash but presumably there's some workaround for that (but I expect it will also cost money).

The traditional approach here is a gym membership.

No postal address which may again be awkward for some business purposes, for buying things online, etc.

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.)

gym membership [...] PO Box

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...)
