I figured, but wonder how far the concept of "tent" can be stretched in that definition.
You would probably know better, but I kinda doubt a few rocks, tree branches and a tarp in a city or even a state park would be considered an abode by the courts, even if it is in a park that doesn't ban transient shelters.
Perhaps it would require more than just the shelter itself to help it qualify, such as the presence of other amenities or signs of intent to make an "abode"? Perhaps it would hinge on how private (closed off from the public) that the shelter is made?
Nice to see you rapgood!
