So I had my van up for sale for about a month... a few interested people but nothing solid.&nbsp; Guess people in this area aren't looking for a big ole' van these days.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; I decided to keep the van. For some reason I kept thinking I needed something bigger. Then I found...

Sounds like fun!&nbsp; For me,the must haves:&nbsp; 2 solar showers, camp chair(from walmart), solar outdoor lights (walmart), solar and battery powered radio, my small backpacking stove and a cast iron pan.&nbsp; oh, and a cooler.&nbsp; some other stuff too but once you get on the road you'll...

LOL!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; gotta do what ya gotta do!&nbsp; My Dad has some Vietnam stories that are quite bizarre , not 'big toe' bizarre though <br><img src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

what a cute dog! Pomeranian?&nbsp; My Mom has a Pom, and it barks, a lot, so I know what you're talking about.&nbsp; If it was me, I wouldn't waste my money on a collar like that.&nbsp; I have a large dog, with a large bark, and it takes time for him to get adjusted to the campsite. Sometimes he...

Congrats!&nbsp; I'm doing the part time thing right now with my dog, ( saving some $ for van essentials ), and have found it to be sooo rewarding!&nbsp; Enjoy!<img src="/images/boards/smilies/wave.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

The backpacking dehydrated packets aren't too bad, they are expensive and are full of sodium though.&nbsp;

Starting off slow sounds like a good idea, take a week or two to be by yourself and clear your mind, time alone is good for the soul, good luck!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!&nbsp; I will be bringing his Kong and lots of peanut butter and I like the suggestion of walking around to show the dog the 'boundary area' and will be getting my curtains fixed up soon.&nbsp;

I start my new life full timing with my dog next month, and wondered if anyone has had problems with not so 'perfectly social' dogs in state/national parks and campgrounds? Dogs are allowed in these places but from what I've read not on any of the hiking trails.&nbsp; I have an Access Park Pass...

congrats!&nbsp; I love my 90' G20, enjoy <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

I took my dog everywhere when he was a puppy, pet stores, groomers, doggie day care (even if it was for one day), friends houses etc.&nbsp; The one thing I noticed is when I tensed up my dog did too.But when I wasn't around everyone kept telling me how calm and nice he was.&nbsp; <br>Now that...

I loved my Straight Talk phone when I had it,&nbsp; getting another one next month with internet, $45 unlimited, can't beat that!&nbsp; And with the android phones wherever you have a phone signal which is practically everywhere when I used mine the internet is there too!&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; Good...

As I'm prepping for full timing in April, I came across this company.&nbsp; <br><br>http://www.goalzero.com/shop.html?gclid=CMv5rJ3s-bQCFY9DMgod03QAsw<br><br>Since I don't plan on needing a lot of power, mostly to charge phone, laptop, dvd player, maybe a portable tv, thought this might be the...

Loved the movie when it came out so much I got the soundtrack, and yup the soundtrack is pretty awesome<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

from my experience with drinking while camping in a campground, i haven't ever had problems unless you don't pick up your cans or trash. i would never drink in my van in the city what so ever! too much of a risk..but if you are on public lands, blm, national forests and parks, where you plan on...

Looks like an awesome ride! I've got a 90' G20 myself , and it's a lot more rusty that yours<img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">, but I&nbsp; love it!&nbsp; Are you going to keep the bench bed in the back? I took out the middle seats but after sleeping on the...

that sounds like it might work, it'd be kind of like if you had an air conditioner in one room and used a blanket/sheet to keep the cold air in if there wasn't a door...good idea!<img src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" />

I plan on getting a seat belt for my dog that will attach to his harness. I will take out the front passenger seat so he can lay on his bed and be comfy and still be safe. He's so big a crate would take up way too much space. <br />&nbsp; Hope this helps<img...

from my experiences with moving a lot, if you have a library card from a different county they make you get one from theirs, ( 2-5$).&nbsp; also some don't even require you to use a card, you just sign in.&nbsp;
