    What SUVs do you recommend?

    I have a 2002 Suburban and I love it. Lots of extra space in the back. I'm able to fit my bike in the back without putting the 2nd row of seats down (plus other stuff including 2 big dogs!). I have 4wd, but not a lot of clearance underneath. So maybe that's a consideration if you want to go...

    Dog in Hot Van Question

    Try running your errands after the sun goes down. I do that if I have to bring my dogs with me. I purposely have a camper so I can leave the air on or windows open if I'm gone for short periods of time. I would never consider leaving my pets in a vehicle if there was any chance they could...

    Looking for Las Vegas, Nevada RV parks

    Does anyone have any recommendations for RV parks in or near (like within 30 miles) Las Vegas, Nevada?  I need to be there in March and it seems almost all have restrictions on age of camper or size of dogs. I have an older camper & two 55 pound dogs. And I need electric, so the forest...

    Lady looking for a great guy

    I've been traveling full-time since Dec '16 & had a few shorter outings before that. I travel in a camper with my 2 dogs. I still work, so am more of a slow traveler. I do a lot of hiking/walking with my dogs and try to do yoga most days of the week. I've been a vegetarian/vegan for 15 years...

    Opinions on this step van??

    A little more info: 864,000 miles. Yikes. I know those are good engines, but that's gettin' up there. 8 cylinder, 3 speed manual transmission. I'm thinking I might take a pass on this one. I couldn't work on this myself either. Thanks for the reply!

    Dog Questions

    I think I'm a little late to the conversation, but will put my 2 cents in anyway. LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. If you prefer cats, not dogs, don't get a dog. If you only want a dog for protection, don't get one. You cannot always rely on a dog to protect you. If someone wanted to attack you and had a...

    opinions on '90 Dodge camper van

    Yeah, I noticed the color difference too. I should add a few things: 1. I don't have a strong desire to convert a regular van into a camper-type van 2. From my experience renovating homes, renovations usually cost more & take more time than you think there gonna take 3. I do like creature...

    opinions on '90 Dodge camper van

    I found this 1990 Dodge b350 camper van & am seriously considering it. (the ad says it's a 91, but the vin report says it's a 90.) It's about an hour away from me & I'm going to look at today hopefully. I will have it checked out by a mechanic. I believe it's from California, so rust may not be...

    Insurance Road Side Assistance?

    I have my car insurance through State Farm (for 25 yrs) and they offer emergency roadside assistance nationwide coverage for 50 cents per month (that's the rate I was quoted, I don't know if it's the same for everyone). It covers towing to the nearest repair shop (you can pay the difference if...

    factory tow package vs. installing a hitch on van

    hello! I am planning on buying a van and towing a small travel trailer. I've been thinking about this for months and think this is the best set up for me. What I'm wondering is if I should try to find a van with a factory tow package already installed, or if installing a hitch would be good...

    Workamping feedback

    Hi. Has anyone that worked for the CLM know anything about limitations on pets? Dogs specifically? I have 3 medium to large dogs, one of which is a pit bull. I looked on their website <a href="http://www.clm-services.com/employment/job-openings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color...

    Lionbridge - working remotely

    Yes, you get paid the month after you finish the work. And you get&nbsp;paid for the entire month - so just one payday per month. That's helped me work on my budgeting skills! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

    Lionbridge - working remotely

    Yes, they do stress it's important to keep mum on the specifics of the work, so that's why I don't go into a lot of detail. I did fill out a job application and take one test before I was hired. It's a great job for me because I can work from home &amp; it's very flexible. But it is a lot of...
