    Itinerary From Coast to Coast Road Trip

    So after having a pretty rough time starting out I'm gonna leave the vanlife thing behind for the time being and move into a house. I will be traveling from Southern California all the way up to New York. It will probably only be somewhere between a 2-4 week journey. Does anyone have any...

    Ideal winter camping locations

    Hey there, If anyone was following my last post, they may be able to discern what happened and why I'm writing this one. Unfortunately my van didn't make it and it looks like camping is my only option. My thoughts at this point are to find a good, legal spot to camp on BLM land for the winter...

    stranded/not enough cash for repairs

    Since a few people seemed confused and interested in my decision, I've decided to post it again here to help clarify things. I decided to go with TXJayBirds suggestion and do what repairs I can and then head over to Flagstaff. If you're interested in the details, check one of her last posts. I...

    Best way to get internet connectivity

    interesting.  I've kind of forgotten about  this thread but that's what I'm looking at doing right now. maybe your suggestion was locked somewhere in the back of my mind ^^ I'm currently with T-Mobile. the locked phones in The US aren't preferable and they don't have cheap phones that I've been...

    Best way to get internet connectivity

    cost and access are probably most important to me. how do you differentiate between reliability and access? I would think those would be the same thing. high speed is preferable but as it typically increases costs much more, just so long as I can use Google Maps safely. and by that I mean, it's...

    stranded/not enough cash for repairs

    yeah, after milling over all the options both myself and others have presented, and this one in particular, if I'm honest with myself, although appealing, it is probably just too hard for me right now. I can't guarantee my other decision will be any better, but hopefully it will. thank you very...

    yes, it is a difficult disease to explain, understand and let alone deal with, and similarly, most people share your confusion, including those who suffer from it. however if you want increased clarity just ask or do some research. talking shit is not helping

    stranded/not enough cash for repairs

    my thoughts exactly. it's a bit scary given my health but out of the options I've got, it's definitely the easiest to save money. might be a little difficult camping out for a month when I haven't tried that lifestyle either, especially in a place I'm unfamiliar with. but from what I've read...

    stranded/not enough cash for repairs

    where are you located that you have those prices? or are they self-repairs? the cheapest, relieable quotes I've gotten are of the prices I gave and yes registration on this awesome van will only run me just $25 in AZ and you're right that CA can wait. I've just had bad experiences with debt and...

    so to clarify, you're saying there's no penalties, fines, illegalities, etc. associated with camping near the 2 cities Bob mentioned?

    stranded/not enough cash for repairs

    any adivce on #6? San Diego doesn't allow people to live in their cars so this has been the biggest issue I've been dealing with here. Also, urban camping is too unideal given my health. I do understand the climate issue tho
