Drowning in my House On Wheels

Short update: had been working untill the last week in june when my 2 big toes got blisters and became infected. Went to live with my family for 2 weeks in july to recover and its the end of july now and they are still not well. Did take care of my hospital bills through charity and this last week in july have been living in my truck hoping i'm able to return to work. I dont want to get infection again and have to go back in hospital for another day or take any more antibiotics.

So, Up untill a week ago been living in my truck again and i tell you these last 2 days 29th and 30th have been awful. It has rained and poured down almost all day and my campershell is now a Wet Soggy Mess!!! all my blankets and clothes got soaked and i'm going tonight to have to wash them and dry them which is another 10 bucks i really dont have. I have waited to wash them because i dont think i could take another day of pouring down all day rain next time it rains this much i will either park my truck under a bridge or strap a tarp to the back window where it leaks tremendously. Inside my campershell the windows are all fogged up because its so much moisture. God now is the time i wish i had a van. I have learned that my campershell is not leak proof and if it rains alot my truck bed floor will be Flooded with water urgh!. anyway, other than trying to stay dry and trying to figure out how to physically able to get my toes doctored up so i can go back to work and make some money. I have had some help with money from my mom which has helped alot but it will probally be the last i get from her. So all this stress isnt helping either. I've decided my next vehicle i get will be a conversion van if my truck breaks down and it has started smoking out the exhaust this month to so another thing to worry over. I dont want to finance any vehicle but if i have to get another ride it will be a van only thing is i have to have a job to get it. This month hasnt been the worse month of my life but it certaintly hasn't been the best either. Only good news i got was to get a brand new tire for my truck and a regular spot to park for 3 months with hookups but with all this rain and flooding i'm wondering if i can wade it out.
