    2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Conversion

    I like the way you think. Your creativity, patience, and attention to detail at all levels impresses me. Seeing your photos and reading the descriptions of your thought processes and then the actual builds definitely will help me as I evolve solutions in my van. Thank you for taking the time to...

    heat plus hot bread

    Many people read and learn but don't post. I enjoyed this thread. The title communicated well. Triple use out of the heat expenditure that includes most anything baked -- how much better can it get? I wonder what you were hoping for that you haven't gotten yet?

    Good morning

    Beautiful but cold day here in western KY. My coffee tastes especially good on cold mornings. Dean, it is nice to read that you are healing well.

    I think you need this

    Oh, the stories this rig could tell! It is easy to imagine sitting on that couch with morning coffee watching the world wake up around a pond or over the meadow.

    Sea Fever by John Masefield

    I chose Sea Fever to memorize and recite in a High school English class. I still like it and feel the pull.

    I-40 west caravan to RTR 2019

    Do you know when you plan to travel? I am hopeful, but am uncertain whether I can be free of caregiving duties. I will likely stay in western Kentucky through Christmas then need to travel west faster than I would prefer. Turtlelady

    VANLIFE ISN'T THE ANSWER

    Cool link. I enjoyed it immensely. Well written to tell his point of view. Matt's IG photos are stunning. One chapter ends, the next begins. Thanks for the link, Cyndi.

    Anybody pick up a local U-Haul when traveling to "temporarily" van-dwell?

    This part of your plan is unclear to me. Are you referring to equipment you may need but will return if it is not used?  $100 seems a low estimate to me considering you will need to  plan for the possibility that it can be pretty cold and wet in the northeast that time of year. I wish you and...

    Interesting Strangers

    Interesting people are one of the major lures of life on the road for me. I agree that listening well, and asking enough questions to lead the talker where you'd like to explore is an art, as is knowing how to be approachable, and how to approach a stranger. If a mellow campfire in a beautiful...

    Games and fun

    Great idea!  Post your time schedule for your first competitions on the bulletin board and no telling how this idea may grow. There might be a huge crowd show up.  I have an antique croquet set, but it is heavy and the rocks would be hard on the wooden balls. Might think on how to create a cheap...

    HI. I'm a wanna be. I have a question if any one is a disable veteran how do...

    Hi Kattrails. I live in western KY, with my wanderlust, frustrated to be retired with a worthy vehicle and camping skills yet not being as free to travel as I had hoped. I travel in the Bowling Green, Louisville, Lexington, and Ashland area often and plan a longer get aways when I can. My...

    Looking into the lifestyle

    Number 4 appeals to me as the one moving toward something special. As someone who has always appreciated the subtler individuality, beauty and balances of hand painted lettering, I'm wondering what might evolve if you played once again with some wee bit of hand lettering for this special...

    Newbie gal, hitting the road in July

    Hi, Newbie gal. Bob is doing live videos on Sundays. You might enjoy watching the first few. They are interesting (all except the one today, which had too many technical problems to be very useful.) Today's location was overlooking Medford OR. I think he plans to be in the Oregon area much of...

    Looking into the lifestyle

    Have fun with your planning and choosing. Your build, with your unusual set of interests, and requirements, sounds like it will be fun to follow. We do like pictures!

    First Time Out!!

    Lulu: It is nice to read of your careful steps to success, and to share your joy in the journey. Your words will encourage some to step further out on a new wonderful path. Also importantly, they may remind others who have had grand adventures but currently are not able to be far from their home...

    OKRA -- yuck or yum? Try this.

    I love tender small okra. Even as a child, I was fond of okra cooked any way it was presented. My Mom made the best combo of "stewed" okra, as she called it. She put a tiny bit of water in a saucepan with cut up okra, onion and tomato then quickly cooked it down finishing with freshly squeezed...

    GIRL'S ROOM: Women as caregivers

    Hi. I would like to refresh this thread for several reasons. First, I would love to hear an update from the caregivers who previously shared a part of their stories, and thank those who offered kind support. As you may guess, I am currently a caregiver. I attended RTR 2018, my first, while...

    Backed into a corner in Wisconsin

    You and your son are amazing! Congratulations to both of you for all your accomplishments. I have just returned from my first RTR. IMHO, based on the things you have said in your introduction, you have made a wise choice to explore the CRVL lifestyle. I encourage you to follow your heart and...
