Thanks for posting Gary, I haven't seen a Datsun for a long time but I sure remember them and always liked them. Do you have any pics of the Volvo you had?  They would be fun to see. Personal mobility is a real concern.  I don't currently have any physical limitations so a station wagon is...

That's quite a line up Ballenxj!  I'll bet you could share some stories of the fun you had in each of them.  That Nova must have been a blast. The Subaru Legacy AWD and the Volvo XC70 AWD have a good deal in common.  They both target the driver who wants the height and ride of a car while also...

I would have been really thrilled with an XC70 as I like the All Wheel Drive and 3 inch higher ground clearance.  I test drove a few and they seemed perfect for me.  However, during the window of time I was ready to buy I couldn't find that right combination of price, condition, history, and...

I'm in a 1999 Volvo station wagon.   For $100.00 I bought cross rails and an X-Cargo 20 cubic ft cargo box to mount on top. This has been a great addition for me.  I keep all my clothing and bedding in the cargo box because those things are fairly light and relatively easy to replace if...

Three nights in a station wagon and looking forward to many more. After contemplating a nomadic life for a couple of years and looking at many options for a vehicle I chose a station wagon as my starter home. It is not my goal to persuade anyone of anything here.  I simply want to share my...

A station wagon has turned out to be a positive experience for me as my starter home on wheels. If you have positive experiences with station wagons I invite you to add your comments and stories here. Station wagons are a solution for some of us sometimes.  For those people and those times I...

Three nights in the Camel Wagon and all is well. I have been sleeping in the large parking lot at the local hospital.  Quiet, shade trees, lots of empty parking spaces, seems very safe.  I live in a city of about 60,000 people and this is a large regional hospital.  I've driven through the...

Hi FlowerGirl, In my thinking you are on very familiar ground, familiar to many of us who have contemplated shifting to a nomadic life.  Know that you are in no way alone in your concerns and questions and keep connecting with others.  There are thousands of hands reaching out to you that you...

Celebrated my first night sleeping in my wagon last night! Chose to park at the large regional hospital in our area.  Worked out perfectly.  Very quiet and peaceful.   The Volvo isn't my dream home, but it's a great starter home.  No doubt having a storage unit here that I can go to daily and...

Thanks for all of your posts.  Great work on the van. Best wishes for you and your wife.  May the future be bright for both of you.   Les

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all of you who have stopped by.  Wonderful comments from some of you and I feel very welcome. It was 7/25/17 when I made my first post.  Now it is 9/1/17 and this is my first time back.  Never intended it to be so long, but life happens. The van I was looking...

OGreetings and best wishes to all of you! I've been contemplating a nomadic life for nearly a year and learning a tremendous amount from the CheapRVLiving videos on YouTube. Today is my first day to visit the forum. In just three days I intend to purchase my van - THRILLED! Looking forward to...
