Well said, and there is wisdom in your post. I did state that it was only my opinion, and I maintain that people should take risk factors very seriously.

Please tell me you're getting a 4x4 Sprinter!! And show pics!

At the end of the day, it is a risk-management process. "What is the risk involved here?" is the question I ask myself. The answer in the OP's case, it seems, is a major breakdown on the road (they already said the vehicle was recently repaired and is, in fact, currently being repaired with...

I manage to go anywhere by having the peace of mind knowing I have a sufficiently-funded emergency fund to cover a minor or major repair. I would not have that peace of mind if I did not have such an emergency fund. In fact, I wouldn't even set out on the road without it. Not only would I not...

I'm not going to lie... it does sound crazy to me. The "what if's" in your situation would plague me to the point where I couldn't enjoy the scenery. But to each his own...

I just read through your entire posting history here. It’s clear that your stress has gradually metastasized to Jurassic proportions since the spring. Take very good care of your emotional health right now, friend. I don’t know your circumstances or background, but I would be remiss not to...

What is your dream vehicle?

It is definitely harder, I think. Out west, in that entire corridor from central Texas to California, there is almost endless land to get lost in and explore, and for the most part, you can stay as long as you want (following BLM and other rules, of course). You can hang out, miles away from...

You are willing to move for work, and you are just looking for a job for the next year? That confuses me because there are tons of jobs out there now from what I can tell. Hell, there are three large companies right behind where I live that literally have billboards outside saying they are...

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about this couple. They start off the video by acknowledging their high budget and explaining that their lifestyle is a preference, so that at least was good. They weren't lacking in self-awareness in that regard. When I was full time on the road, I...

No one can tell you what is possible. You can break the barriers of possibility with the will and the way. That said, there is a "reasonable" standard to consider, and I, personally, would not dream of starting a nomadic life with no savings and $1k a month to count on. I would first save...

Great to see you back. Would love to see some more personal discussions. For example, I’m still not sure why you are embarking on a RV quest, why you are selling your home, what challenges you hope to resolve or what goals you hope to achieve, etc. I’ve watched all your vids, and I still feel...

I have been following a lot of people who moved back home, and it has become clear to me that setting expectations with your parents early on is important to the long term success of the arrangement. You are their kid, but you are not a kid. They need to accept that. You are also still their...

+1 for Strongback Elite. That was my main camp chair during my year of full timing.
