Sadly, retirement isn't anywhere near my immediate future  :D  I'm still too young for that, sadly. But we are working on other opportunities that will allow us to make money while not having to be in one location, which will help with our future adventures.

Unfortunately this is not something we can do full time. My wife has a few illnesses that will prevent certain areas and vehicles (See Bob's "Traveling with MCS" video on Youtube for a perfect example), plus a mold infection. We like Uhaul since they're newer vans and mostly metal boxed so has...

We were thinking about a van and not a box truck. I'm not a fan of box trucks really. It's one of these: https://www.uhaul.com/Truck-Rentals/Cargo-Van/ But yeah, thinking about donating everything. Maybe not Goodwill, probably a local shelter or something if we can find one, but Goodwill is an...

Uhaul actually offers a flat rate at 7+ days. We estimated 300 miles for 7 days and they are going to charge $319 flat rate (mileage included). So unless we go over 300 we won't get a mileage charge.

Well it is going to be vacation afterall, so we will be driving around. :P

Yeah I actually called Planet Fitness about it (didn't see a week deal online) and they only offered free one-day passes once a week. However, they have a "black" membership right now for $23 for the first month (1 month down deal right now), but that may go up in October. But if I can get a...

Wow, the comments on that are disheartening. Lots of people just can't let people live how they want to live anymore.

the only problem with the minivan option is the cheapest I can find that is long enough to sleep me and my wife is over $700 a week not including fees or gas. The uHaul is half that price.

Besides the LED Lantern, the stuff we were getting isn't "camping" gear, it's household gear. But we're thinking of just donating it instead--someone would love to have that stuff.

We may end up doing that. That $100 isn't a lot, and we can probably get something a bit cheaper anyways. We're mostly worried about the best vehicle to stay in and a way to get showered for 7 days.

The $100 is just the estimate for essentials, which includes the air up matress, a sheet, 3 blankets (one for bulkhead cover, one for use, another for backup use), an LED battery powered lantern, an inverter to plug in our laptops at night, pillows, and not too sure what else we will need...

I was actually thinking about buying a queen-sized air-up bed for inside the van. I unfortunately cannot sleep on cots as I have a back issue, have slight requirements on sleeping (which is one reason why we opted for not sleeping pads, ironic enough). However, some of the items we get from...

Hey guys, sorry if this isn't in the right spot, not sure if it belonged in the Van section or not. My wife and are are planning on flying out to Vermont from Texas on vacation (trying to scope it out to make sure it's well enough for her to move there), and the accomodation is just... mind...

The average price for a 2016 Transit Connect is about 18,000 to 19,000 by itself. 1-2 thousand for the buildout seems steep, but that depends on whats in it.

As someone with T mobile, be careful. They have good data service in the middle of the city, but on the outskirts they consider 2mbps speeds "high speed 4G LTE", but it's so slow. Can't even stream 720p with it. :( Gonna have to move the RV into a park further into town (which means more...
