    INTJohn’s Winter ‘23-‘24 Van Livin

    How important is stealth, could you do the same in a class b? We have stayed in northern FL because we heard the peninsula is not friendly to van dwellers.

    INTJohn’s Winter ‘23-‘24 Van Livin

    Do you have any advice on where to overnight park in Florida? I have heard it is a difficult area for van dwellers.

    Anything I should know about driving out West?

    The main reason to drive through TX and NM fast is that they can be cold this time of year. Otherwise there is a lot to see there. I found eastern AZ (Benson, Tucson) to be unfriendly to overnighting in WalMart parking lots. Thats why I recommend a state park or other paid campground in eastern...

    Anything I should know about driving out West?

    In winter, use I-10 and I-8 to get west, don't drive through mountains in northern NM and AZ. Don't drive at night. Its easiest to WalMart camp until you get to AZ, then you are better off finding boondock camps or even paying for a site if you have to stop east of Phoenix. But, if you have...

    Coleman Cot (For a Bed)

    I am interested in a foam mattress that stays comfortable for a long time.  The one I have now is 18 months old and is sagging/ getting soft.  Have you used this mattress a long time?

    Coleman Cot (For a Bed)

    Get a cot that is 30 inches wide, I did not see dimensions on the one you posted. If you put your foam pads on top you should be warm. It might be more comfortable with an inflatable backpacking pad on top of the foam. You can get massage table sheets that will fit over the whole thing.

    Question about caravans

    I posted the above question after reading the FAQ, because it was unclear. The FAQ does say that sexual harrassment should be reported to law enforcement, and it discusses creating spin-off groups. Leaving the problem person behind is a good strategy but what if they follow? Does HOWA provide...

    Question about caravans

    If there is someone you don't like in a caravan, or someone who is behaving badly, how do you tell them they are not welcome? How do you decide what is bad behavior? If they show up again, what do you do?
