This Man Has Lived In His Mercedes Hatchback For 7 Years And Never Steps Out

http://www.doityourselfrv.com/mercedes-sedan-life/#

Some RVers use their rigs only a few days or weeks a year. Others are more regular campers, spending months (years?) at a time touring this great Earth of ours.

In this video, you’ll meet a man who’s led a highly unconventional life. He’s spent the last seven years – yes, years – living out of his Mercedes car, without ever leaving it!

That’s right, he doesn’t even know if he can walk anymore – he hasn’t tried.

Only 45-years-old, it seems his parents have sadly given up on him, disavowing his existence and shooing off the documentary cameraman.

This seems to be about 8 years old.

Also, anyone who has not stepped outside his car in 7 years (even 7 days) has a serious mental illness.

I hope if anyone can update this, that they will..

However, sitting constantly, smoking, eating crap for that long surely doesn't bode well for him still being alive...
