Survdriving 

verb -

Compound word derived by combining "surviving" and "driving"
To frequently move from location to location when a vehicle is a primary dwelling place and there is no immediate, static, stationary residence in which to find reprieve, safety, and/or comfort from the challenges, threats, societal expectations, and demands of being in public domain.

The purpose of frequently relocating is primarily to avoid harassment and/or scrutiny from neighborhood/area static, house dwelling residents, harassment/interaction with law enforcement often summoned by aforementioned residents, property loss to fast acting "tweaker" thieves, and/or restrictive parking codes often implemented solely for the purpose of deterring the presence of vehicle dwelling residents.
