Van built as foreigner tips and community options/spots

Hi,

Im I'm from Germany and from the end of january to mid february in Houston, Texas.

I will have to find a construction van and convert it, in these three weeks, into a van to live in.

For that I will need to find a van, Do you have any good tips in Houston where to find a van? Obviously I'm checking local dealers, Facebook Marketplace and auctions.

When I got the Van I need to convert it. Any ideas where I can get electricity from and where I can throw away not used stuff from the build?

Any other tips are helpful as well.

Maybe we can use this thread as the start for others trying the same in Houston in the future.

Thanks for everything. J
