Unfortunately people tend to get sidetracked here, as have I at times. Sorry, Hope something here helped.

I've always wanted to visit NM. But I don't want to be tied to one place.

What's a rivers license? Does that mean you can only enter on a white water raft. LOL.

<p>I live in washington state. For me to go to canada, we can get an endorsement on our drivers license that allows us to go to canada. I believe it is different then a visa or passport. I'm not familar with it. Maybe check with your drivers license office. If they don't know, maybe they can...

Working in the US may be an issue if that is what you would need to do. I don't know anything about that.

A friend in canada told me you can't be out of canada more then 6 months for your health insurance.

Welcome.

You can also tell alot about the condition of an engine with a vacuum gage.

On&nbsp;a pickup truck you can just lift the engine up out of the engine compartment. A class B or C, and a van, you have to remove the grill and the core support and pull the engine out the front. The engines may be the same, but not as much labor time on a pickup.

Did you have any issues with working in different states?

One option I have been thinking about is signing on with a national temp service for work. I emailed a place called elite staffing. They have offices accross the country. I haven't heard back yet.<br />Has anyone else done this? if so, how has it worked out?

Offroad, I agree with you. A trailer is probably a better option. Not only the reduced cost of engine replacement but also if the truck goes down, you still have your home to live in. Even for me, who can replace the engine myself, It's not something you can do on the road. With the equiptment...

I won't buy a used engine unless I can hear it run and pull the valve covers to see the condition of the inside.<br />A guarantee is nice, but&nbsp;it doesn't help much&nbsp;if you have keep working on it.

I have replaced a few engines in motorhomes. The labor involved depends on the type of motorhome. If it's a class c (van front end) you can pull the motor thru the front. If it's a class A it depends on the model. Some of them have a drivers door. You can remove the drivers seat and bring the...

You sure do know me baby.

Sounds like a possibility. Maybe an add on craigslist for a town I will be going thru. I could place the ad a few days before I get there...HMMM

Ya, I considered that, but with everyone spread out in different areas, I don't know how that would workout. Without a shop, I would only be able to do minor repairs. It's a good thought if it could work somehow.

I figured since others are venting...so will I.<br />I am seriously considering quitting my measly job. I work as a courier racking up miles on my truck, but not making much money. I drive about 700 to 1000 miles a week and make barely enough to survive. I get paid by the miles and pay my own...

My vehicle doesn't provide much stealth. Once I break my ties completely and hit the road, stealth won't be an issue.
