depends on the number of cans of beans you try to eat. :)

it also depends on you and who's with you, i think. and at least once a week
or so, you NEED to stop at a motel, just for the bed and the shower and a
real toilet! :) and a laundramat to wash clothes.

three of us went on a tree out west/southwest way back when, in a sunroof
1970 bus, and we kinda got on each other's nerves after about two weeks.
let's just say the return trip was a lot quicker than the outbound leg. :)
that's the most i've been: three weeks.

if you can camp in a tent for a month, you shouldn't have ANY problems
camping in a bus for that long. really. you are planning to stop every now
and then, right? :)
