Welcome Sarah and good luck. What type of rig to you have? We all still in the planning stage--newly retired. Thinking of a medium-top Ford Transit LWB for conversion. That first rig choice seems like a big decision for us. I want to be able to pull a trailer and bikes. I am still not sure of...

Eat to Live do not live to eat.

Hi Bev and welcome. I am just an RV dreamer. We have been living/working overseas this stint since 2007, so we have no vehicle in the US. Looking at Ford Transit Conversion or Nissan Cargo NV--maybe pulling a trailer to boot. I hope I have enough savings to retire, but prices are getting scary...

Many thanks!!!

Eating insects is quite common world-wide. I spent > 20 years in Africa and tall mud termite mounds in the desert are common. When the termites swarm, they can be captured by hand easily and cooked or eaten raw. Crunchy, nutty flavor. You can also dig a bit for them if they are not swarming...

I am 5-ft 9". Will the medium height Transit allow me to stand up without bumping my head? Do you think the LWB is essential to get enough space for 2 people (no pets)? Can a gradual build-out be done in stages? dBBB

They stopped making the Nissan Cargo NV in 2021, but I can still find a few "almost" new ones. Think I would have problems getting spare parts in the future? DB

Excuse my ignorance--you see I just started here 2 months ago. But where is Pirate Camp? I have been in Africa and Asia since 1978--still in Saudi Arabia another few months--just AZ dreaming right now. DB

Excuse my butting in, but I have been eyeing a Ford transit for some time & wonder if you would mind sharing sone experiences with me. I was a kid camper but have been working for 40+ years and ready to retire--just me & my wife. We have the means to buy a new Transit (if we can find one)...

I am looking at a Ford Transit Medium Top Cargo Van. Prices for new are stupendous. I am not handy enough to do the conversion myself. Phoenix AZ area.
