    Replace with Composting Toilet

    Thank you so much! These are some great links and advice. I’m already sold on composting for the reasons listed above. I really want to conserve water and having to look for places to dump. I want to be able to boondock as much as possible and be as cost efficient as possible. I despise paying...

    Anyone in their 20’s?

    Hahaha I truly love the responses! I’ve always had friends both you get and older than me. Friendship is about souls vining together. Nothing to do with physical age. I just always wonder if there are younger people living this lifestyle. But seems to me there are, just maybe on different...

    Seeking skills in AZ

    I’m just lingering in Phoenix and surrounding BLM land. Right now I’m boondocking north of Phoenix. I don’t not have a local place to work, I’m just here sort of waiting for RTR. It’s my first time in the area. I love the advice and hadn’t heard of the van build until now. I may try to make...

    Replace with Composting Toilet

    Hi, I have a Class A 2000 Surfside RV. I was wondering if anyone has experience or suggestions on how to take the toilet out to replace with a simple composting one? I’d like to somehow connect the black water to the grey water tank to use as an overflow tank. I despise black water and would...

    Urban camping in an RV

    I’ve lived in a 30ft Class A with children for over a year now. I couldn’t really picture doing it with anything larger. I’ve been really successful at it I guess. I stay in cities very often because that’s where I make money and grocery shop. I have run into problems when I’ve stayed somewhere...

    Howdy from Phoenix!

    Hey! I’m a young solo female traveler at the moment with my young child. I’m also in the Phoenix area at the moment if you wanted to camp together before the RTR. I’m 6 foot tall and have always been healthy as I like to call it. I’d love to meet you! Good luck in your search. A better way...

    Anyone in their 20’s?

    Hi all! Newer to the site, but been living the lifestyle for a couple years now!  This will be my first RTR and I’m so excited. I find that I really miss community and friends. Though I keep in touch with some from my old lifestyle, they just don’t understand me and what I’m living for. They...

    Women Only: Need a blessing or advice

    Thank you all for your posts!  That’s brilliant to check out junkyards for tires. I’ll remember that for the future. I actually tried my luck sign flying for a couple hour this weekend and ended up meeting a blessing of a soul. They literally took me to the tire shop and bought me new tires! I’m...

    Women Only: Need a blessing or advice

    Thank you for the well needed virtual hugand support! I luckily am stocked up with diapers and have a cloth diaper supply also. I’m also set on food and have food stamps at the moment. I don’t have any friends in the area. The few I have in this country are too north for me to survive winter. I...
