    I am new

    Moments before I read your post i walked through my house and thought, "Soon I won't have this anymore.  All this space gone to someone else."  I began to feel a bit of fear and doubt at that thought until I read your post.  It reminded me of how our society constrains us with...

    Calling All Single RVers

    LOL &nbsp; A self-styled 'social reject' is forwarding an invitation to a singles dance. &nbsp;That was good for a laugh first thing this morning. &nbsp;Thank you. &nbsp;I wonder if it'll be anything like the Freaker's Ball.&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/crazy.gif" class="emoticon...

    The Conversion of "Freedom" , our permanent bus home...

    Is there any chance you took the name Freedom from the movie K-PAX when Prot tells the guy with OCD to look for the blue bird of freedom?

    A dream or a premonition?

    I woke one morning with the vivid remnants of a dream haunting me into my morning. &nbsp;The setting was Montana with a magnificent view of snow capped peaks and lush forest as I lie in my van parked at a lookout. <br><br><a href="/file?id=1625109" rel="lightbox" target="_blank"><img...

    Going for it.... Making the move to an RV

    Found this at a yard sale

    City ordinances--what's their motive?

    <span style="line-height: 16px;"> <br> It would be nice to have stats on that. &nbsp;From some of the posts in this forum it seems there are a lot of fairly wealthy people living in RVs. &nbsp;I think these ordinances are aimed at getting them into campgrounds. &nbsp;There are a lot more rules...

    doubt, fear, and uncertainty

    The house is for sale. &nbsp;The money is running out. &nbsp;The plans are concocted and the trailer is purchased for my crap to go into storage. &nbsp;But where are the buyers? &nbsp;I can't start vandwelling until this house sells and it's not going well so far. &nbsp;All I get are lowball...

    Total conversion cost

    I haven't done it yet but I estimate approximately $4000 to do everything with new material. &nbsp;This of course can vary wildly with the use of free, used, or recycled materials and equipment. &nbsp;It also has a lot to do with the extent of the conversion; my setup will not have...

    Painting Reflectix black on one side

    Why does everyone choose black? &nbsp;Why not cover the windows with an opaque white material? &nbsp;It seems that would have far less issues with heat. maybe white coroplast painted black on the inside to block light.
