    SMOKY MOUNTAIN'S (NC) - Private Gathering - June 2018

    I'm not far from there at all. My family used to spend several weeks a year there or on the road camping. Maybe some of you will look me up while you're nearby if you need to a spot. I live north of there nearish Boone. And now that I think about it, I'll probably be in a mad rush, if I ever...

    Well, I have found what I'm looking for... just looking for other folks who can appreciate it as much as I do. Grins. Thanks Florida boondocker... who knows what may happen in the years to come; assuming I'm blessed enough to see them.

    Totally Stretch... safety is what has kept me alone.  And frankly I'm done not letting anyone in because someone else made a mistake in the past causing tremendous pain... even if that person was me and totally my responsibility.  That's a place i think we've all been in.  Some learned, some...

    Maybe you could suggest another venue for my offer? I thought this one was perfect. I didn't say I can't do things... I said I was unemployable. There is a HUGE difference. It pretty much means I am my own boss, basically. Isn't that the bottom line on whole concept of being 'nomadic' in...

    No, in fact I'll address the two issues that hit my buttons. I never suggested a permanent or long term stay. I said nomad way station. And if trading water, electricity, wifi and the forest I live in isn't enough? Well I don't have much more. See? I have my mind, skill sets which are...

    As I seem to be getting nothing but negative feedback... thank you. If there was a way for me to remove the offer... I would. It was an opening for discussion. I don't intend to use anyone. I thought most on here understood work trade.

    And as my end goal is to get my van finished... I hope I put this proposal in the right spot. I've done the worst parts... replacing and fixing all the worn rubber parts on a '89 G20... and that was not easy. I've also repainted the roof... and put in a fan and the rough wiring is done and the...

    This is going to take a minute; I think.  I'm scared to post this. I've had this idea gnawing at me for a few years.  Every time I stick my head out to see if it might be possible I've withdrawn again because I think, nah... no one like that in the world.  Then I found this site and some...

    Yeah, it's a van, no doubt, which I hope gives me some leeway on laws which was the idea... but I certainly will be using it as a rolling home.  First thing I bought was a carbon monoxide detector.  (did I fix it? Grins) I've been collecting materials for a while now with the intention of making...

    How can I finance an old van?

    Is there any way you can check with local credit unions? I live on a disability check and I needed to buy a used car. The dealership rates where terrible. I direct deposit my check to my credit union and they financed a car I couldn't really afford any other way and let me pay it off at a...

    Greetings

    Hi, I bought an old van I dubbed the Goofy Van a few years back and this is the year I finish it up.  Also have tons of other ideas brewing in my old brain.  Y'all have to read my profile for a glimpse into those ideas.  Goofy is going to be (unfortunately a gas-drinking) ultimate rolling...
