I know just what you mean. Only so many TV programs one brain can digest. I am looking forward to EVERY day being something different- even if I am sitting at the same camp area. :) Sounds like a perfectly "healthy" idea for you.

Thanks---I may do that in future as space permits. I plan to use a campfire whenever possible also. I am a mean campfire cook with an iron skillet. The gas would mostly be used to make coffee and the light only for a few hours at night. They are actually very easy on use like this but yes- a...

I recently posted as a newbie (but stalker for over a year). I am in the planning stages and hope to be on the road by Sept. 1st 2015. These are my plans. If anyone has any additional suggestions feel free to add BUT keep in mind that I am on a tight budget! Van- 1992 Plymouth Voyager...

Hello all--- After much thought and the recent purchase of a '92 Plymouth Voyager Van that replacede a Subaru Outback I am in the planning stages of making it a home for me and my small doggie. My family may consider me homeless but I will consider myself FREE! I am a 56 year old widow. Disable...

@bk2valve- I read your post to Dave and.....he just smiled.&nbsp;<img border="0" align="absmiddle" src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif">&nbsp;Thanks for the input!

<b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#3333FF">Very helpful Juggernaut- Strike ONE for the Isuzu! I did forget to mention that is is a 6 cyl. I don't want to be replacing the clutch for sure. That was an expensive process even tho Dave did the work. I do find that the parts for these Isuzu's...

I had mentioned this in another thread and wanted to bring it here to start a new one for more input (and so a newbie is not thrown out for getting off topic!)<div>We have a 1968 14 ft (I guess maybe 15 foot if I count the bumper) Shasta trailer we hope to be taking on the road after some...

Thanks Les- I will argue a few points with Dave and get with you on this. My hopes are up again on the Isuzu- although my oldest son wants it really bad (and cheapI am sure as its his Mom's). I just hate to get an "unknown" vehicle to hit the road with when I KNOW the Isuzu (and so does my bank...

WOW Les- sounds like a lot of work. Maybe I need to update my list of things to check/do/buy!&nbsp;<div>BTW: in your original photo- what is the vehicle that you are towing with? We have a 1996 Isuzu Trooper with a tow package (no tow "bar") but it is a 5 speed w/ clutch and Dave says he does...

Thanks all! This info is GREAT!

Hey dragonfly....Yes its great to touch base with others like us. I am as excited as a kid in a candy store with ours. We are buying it from an&nbsp;acquaintance and it has actually been stored &nbsp;for a couple of years or more in the back yard of the residence we have lived for almost a year...

Thanks jbandhilda! I had no idea you could do that. This is the type of info I need! Hopfully I can get some input on the satellite use/ soon. I may post in a different area on it.

Thanks all! I love the trailer, Les- looks&nbsp;familiar! <img border="0" align="absmiddle" src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif">&nbsp;Did you have to do any wall repairs? Ours has to have the front wall replaced due to rot from water/rain leaks. The outside is ok just...

Thanks for the info so far. I have tried to use my daughters NetBook with the same results- keyboard to small and I do need a bit larger screen as my eyes are older than I am. I am actually THINKING of hanging on to my reliable old (2005) Dell desk top (has had service to clean both dust and...

I was wondering if anyone could give some info on the best type of Lap Top PC to use/buy (and cheap places too). I currently have a Dell desk top and will be searching for a Lap Top for our future travels. Keep in mind that I will only be using it for Facebooking- to keep up with family and let...
