      I don't remember much about the movie since I saw it when it came out a billion years ago (I just remember that I hated it), but if I watched it again now, perhaps my assessment would be different! I'm older and (hopefully) wiser.

    "For now."  I've been really struggling with the decision-making process regarding a vehicle as my plan continues to morph into something completely different than what I was originally imagining. This was originally supposed to be a trip. Two months. Three max. But the more I think about it...

    I get the appeal of having a brand new, never-been-lived-in-by-anyone-else RV but, you're right, it definitely doesn't make good financial sense. Not that I have that kind of money to even consider it anyway!  Total cost of ownership per mile is definitely a better way to look at it, rather...

    Thanks for all the detailed info, eDJ_ ! Your rig looks perfect. Want to sell it? Ha! I've actually been to your website before--lots of great stuff, there!  I'm still weighing options. Someone in this thread (my memory fails at this moment) mentioned not living IN a vehicle, but living OUT of...

    Thanks, Sharon. I've been searching Craigslist, cargurus.com, autotrader, and more almost daily. I usually keep my search to within 200 miles, but I sometimes do extend it further out just to see what might be available. And, with a little luck, like yourself, maybe I'll be able to find TWO...

    "...live the dream you want to follow"  How much happier/nicer a place would the world be if everyone did that?!  The only way to make the CR-V "tolerable" is to remove the backseats. Not only do the rear seats not fold flat, but the seat bottom sticks up even more. Once you build a platform...

    Congratulations! I agree, thanks to Bob's website, these forums, and the YouTubers, there's a wealth of information and possibilities to consider!

    Thanks for your response, DannyB1954.     I definitely can't stand in a Prius. I have several reasons for not wanting to keep my current vehicle (a 2013 CR-V), but I could if I had to for the short term. I definitely don't want to live in it, though, if I can help it.  I have run all the gas...

    The upside down loan does make it tougher, but isn't completely insurmountable. You're right--I probably would have to take some of my savings to rectify the situation. I'll be able to get more if I privately sell, but I will need to find someone willing to work with a bank-owned title, so we'll...

    Hi all! I've been lurking around Bob's website (as well as others') and this forum for years. I finally registered as a user a few nights ago.  I apologize up front for the length of this post. I think it will be beneficial for me to externally process my thoughts for my own personal...
