    Hi Sherry, Thanks for the welcome! Yes, dogs certainly have their own personality. I got Rosebud for my daughter's 10th birthday, since she's an only child and I pretty much saw the divorce coming. Unfortunately, I decided to completely ignore Rosebud for the 1st two weeks and have my...

    Saying hi

    Hi Jim! Welcome from another newbie! Even though I have a Sprinter, I'm loving learning what works and doesn't work for me and how I can make it more of what I want from this group. Maybe if you come to the RTR, you can meet some like minded people and get some inspirtation for your Van...

    Hi and welcome from another Newbie here, DigitalNomad. I have a sprinter -2007 Leisure Travel Van- "Free Spirit" model.  It came "as is" and is my first learner Van.   Now that I've had it awhile and found CRVL and watched a ton of YouTube videos, I am seriously considering switching it out...

    Yes, it is hard to give up the 22 mpg and the 500K estimated lifespan with the Sprinter!  Unfortunately, there is also the add'l 10 year $300 monthly payments, as well as $200 oil changes every 10K miles, as well as Brake Pads every 2 years, not to mention Rotors and then finding mechanic who...

    Thanks, Deal Breaker!   I take it that you've been around the RTR a few times now!  I'm really looking forward to getting out and making new friends.  This sounds like this is going to be quite the adventure! Be always, kindly! Candy

    Ha!  Yes, that feels kind of ironic!   In larger groups I tend to think that it's not the introverts doing all the talking.  Although when it comes to small groups or one on one, I get so nervous that sometimes that I end up out talking (babbling) everyone...and then I sorely wish I had that...

    Thank you, Steve!   I may very well take you up on that offer.  Although, while Rosebud is a wonderfully friendly ham of a dog, sadly she is insanely territorial around other dogs at our Van and has an absurd disregard for large dogs and horses, so I’ll make sure to leave her behind before I...

    In 2012 I switched the man for a Van and for 19 months me, my 11 year old daughter and our little dog, fumbled around while we camped both traditionally and semi-stealth (kind of hard to do with a Sprinter).  Even though it was an awesome adventure, the abrupt change was quite the bumpy ride for...
