Replying to Anyone have success bumming in a van? (Tahoe)

Last year tried to bum by renting a place in homewood and bartending at the squaw but ended up working too much, so I quit and took a higher paying job in sac for 2 days a week. Ended up getting over 75 days in. Been vandwelling all summer and am about to try to get 100+ days in like I wanted last season. Anyone have any tips for bumming in tahoe? Was thinking I could park at Safeway in Truckee a few nights a week and the employee lot at Squaw for the other nights. Also am trying to land a job where I only work 1-2 days a week again, but locally.

TL;DR
Long time lurker tryna skid hard in Tahoe for the first time and needs tips
