So basically I cannot be fucked doing anything anymore and just want to be a bum. Hell I work for 150k / year currently but am still not happy so idrc about money. What I really want to do is just ski and surf.

So I am going back to NZ in time for this ski season, I want to live in my a decked out Prado with a rooftop tent and sleep in that for the winter season. I'll keep my skis in the car itself and hang up my clothes in the boot. That way when I finish skiing for the day I can chill in my frontseat with heater cranked and dry everything. When I want to sleep, just go up top and sleep in the tent.

How viable is this long term do you guys think? NZ doesn't get very cold in Winter and I have a bunch of experience living in shit conditions so I can't think of any major flaws in my plan. What do you guys think?
 
You do you.

Hot meals and showers?

Hope you're a heavy reader.

Give it a try, always can say it sucks and get out, but obviously no one stopping you
 
Sleeping above the ground will make you feel colder and roof top tents are the least subtle way to car camp. Those are your flaws.

hmmmm NZ has lots of bush to hide in so I am not too worried about spots to camp

Local gym or river for showers.

Hot meal, gas cooker and frypan.

Actually ( said you had the coin) id start anew, sell Prado, get Aussie version of Toyota, fit it out from the ground up
