My first thought is the interest rates at the moment. My daughter who has excellent credit and the money for a huge down payment is looking at 8.75% on interest. She was looking to replace her 10 year old Lexus SUV. That makes a hefty monthly payment. I think the interest for this type of...

Hi! Welcome! What size is your casita?

Hi and welcome! I am interested in hearing how Van life is different and yet the same between our countries!

One of my favorite camping meal is ranch style beans, with a cut up sausage or a hot dog. I want simple meals 80% of the time. But I wanted a way to cook a chicken or roast or even a stew. Then I could eat for 2 days lol. One thing for sure is I have completely changed my opinion on what to...

Don’t beat yourself up on past decisions. Looking back may cause you to second guess decisions of the here and now. My hubby and I have different ideas of what is “down time” or entertainment lol. But our long term goal is traveling together. He is one who likes survival type of “camping...

I think I will get a rand McNally map. GPS is reliable for highways, but in a city or a town it takes you on a jig saw type of route that’s frustrating at best. When I was going to my cousins house I saw part of Little Rock I never want to see again.

I wish I knew that before I purchased the 3 qt size. My thought process was cooking for 1 and maybe some leftover for the next day. We are in the same area, so I think I will return the 3 qt and get the 6qt, and get a Dutch oven. I also need to get some cook books and watch some videos. In...

Great! When I saw the pressure cooker I never considered a Dutch oven. I think I will skip the pressure cooker on the fire. In the morning I am going to seek out a Dutch oven and find out how to season it. My big consideration was cooking with out using a lot of propane. I have a cast iron...

I think all of have experiences throughout our lives that impact our present. I enjoyed a great childhood, growing up in that little house with 5 siblings lol. But I married a military guy and spent years moving every 2-3 years. It turned my hubby into a home body, he enjoys vacation, but...

I just purchased a stainless steel 3 quart pressure cooker. So I need a little advice. Has anyone used a old fashioned pressure cooker over a camp fire? I was wondering if it’s possible? I could use my single burner camp stove, but I was wondering if the camp fire method would save on...

Good advice! Thanks!

Good morning everyone! Well I have been on the road for a week now. So far I have had fun, but also realized a few things. 1) I started treating my trip as a vacation. My intention is a six week trip, then go home for the holidays. I have learned that to “live” in my van I must consider my...

I agree! lol

Congratulations!!
