    It's now coming and going but I am hooked up. I'm using wifi from where I am. I guess it's a time for some patience... :-) I'll see what I can do...

    Best compact camping chair?

    The old metal framed with webbing work great, have a high enough back & are easy to get out of. They are light weight & fold up. The last few years I've found them at walmart & there were only 10 or 12 dollars.  My wife got us some of the directors chairs, the back is not high enough for me....

    A van? Not what I first expected, but... OK!

    Going nomad is more than dealing with a smaller space, it's a change in your life.  Give it a lot of thought then think some more. After a couple of years I woke up one morning in Ehrenberg, I was in my van, as I laid there & had the thought "I'd like to go home". I looked around and...

    Westfalia

    People with a lot of money think they are neat, the price goes up. I can't afford one anymore. An '82 is probably an air cooled (could be a diesel), nice but not worth as much as a water cooled engine bus, IMO & I've had both.   Keep in mind that the last VW Vanagon was a 91 & that would be a...

    Reflectix back window minivan

    I had an '05 T&C, I used snaps on the foil covering, 2 at the top & two on the bottom , one on each side ... just enough to hold it in place. I used the snaps you get with the screws (or holes for screws). It worked ok...

    Las Vegas, NV or Naples, FL? Which is better for full-time non RV park Casita living

    A lot of people try to live cheap near the Florida coast and they were pretty good at not letting you... Naples as I recall is an upper crust area with more "equal" law enforcement.... I stayed an RV park in Las Vegas that had good monthly rates, was not in a bad area & the shower house was ok...

    RVSue blog announcement today

    In my life I've been & done many different things, there is some overlap between the things but there have also been definite lines in my life.  My nomadic life may go on or I can modify it anytime...nothing wrong with either of those. RvSue found something different from what she had been...

    to van build or not to van build, that is the question.

    I've lived in several vans over the years, in my 87 Ford I had a full time bed, full time seat & table plus a stove to cook/coffee. I rebuilt it four times seeing if I could make it "better".  The Pleasure-way had all that & a real toilet, other than modifying the bed for two of us I didn't have...

    How to deal with gas station panhandling

    I was pumping gas at a station on southern WA state and a guy parked there came over with a 2 gal can and said he was out of money, I pumped him a gallon or two then continued filling my rig. I didn't figure he was after beer money...

    There were a number of people who rented vehicles at the last  RTR, there might even be something written down about in this forum.

    "Too much stuff" is a real problem, one that I have a hard time with. Good luck on your quest!
