Try your question over on one of the "egg" forums as to city accessibility.

Backing can be minimized with even the barest amount of planning. And there are plenty of places, paid and unpaid, where one can legally park overnight or up to a specified number of days.

It still makes more sense to use a trailer than to overspend on a single vehicle -- quasi motorhome -- and have less of everything needed (water, food, decent shower, etc). And one can have a vehicle better suited to solo driving in all instances.

My concerns aren't from experience just conjecture. But the only "egg" camper that is tall enough for me is the Egg Camper which would probably weigh more than 3,000 lbs loaded. Not sure what fuel efficient vehicle would tow this or how the mpg or total cost would be better than a used Highlander Hybrid and a good tent. But I'm open to suggestions if you have some.

Can you give any more details on these places "paid and unpaid" to legally park?
