    Women Only: I chopped it all off!

    YAY!    Yep me too! I had it pretty short but just recently shaved it...#2 and #3 clippers.  The only down side is having to keep up with it...but it looks pretty good even when it starts to grow out! I used to have long hair...I am basking in the freedom now of not having to care about my hair!

    I’m In Crazy Town - Need Answers Re: Social Services!

    Very helpful, yet still confusing. I did look at the google link and read the CheapRvLiving threads. I do have some other leads and when I get this figured out will post for sure. So if as it’s been said, I’m to hide the fact I’m a nomad living in my van... what do I say? I’m disabled and not...

    I’m In Crazy Town - Need Answers Re: Social Services!

    Women Only: Getting close to moving into my minivan...

    Good luck! I've been in a mini-van since June 2017...what a ride! Also disabled, with a handicapped placard for my vehicle, which helps me on down days when I can't walk as far when I'm shopping. My disability includes chronic fatigue, brain fog, and muscle problems...so pacing is the key for...

    Women Only: Breathe, breathe, breathe....

    You can do it! There's lots of women around! I'm a complete newbie this year and made my way from New York State to Arizona in a Mini-van! Not sure if you've already considered this, but the Long Term Visitor Area isn't such a bad place, especially for newbies. They will probably let you take a...

    Women only-port a potty question?

    After researching options including the bucket, I went with a Thetford porta-potti. Since it's just me I went with the smaller one, I think the holding tank is 2 gallons. Been using it steadily for 5 months in my van. I use a powdered product called Happy Camper, found on Amazon, sprinkle it on...

    WOMEN' FORUM: Made It To Quartzsite!

    I think it was 9 days to get to AZ, but I stayed put in Flagstaff until a few days ago. This Northeastern gal isn't used to the heat!

    WOMEN' FORUM: Made It To Quartzsite!

    I just traveled from NY state to AZ on my own, except for the last leg of the trip from Williams to AZ from where I had a traveling buddy, another solo female vandweller. I'm in Quartzsite now for the season. It's been a journey! Would love to meet up with other like minded female...

    I'm definitely interested! I'm permanently disabled since 2011 with an autoimmune illness. At the worst I was practically bedridden for two years and couldn't drive. I've been on the road since June of this year and there have been times it was really a challenge. Would love to connect with...

    Rousted in Oklahoma!

    Yep that's the one. He chased off the one RV that was parked there also. It's a big city, probably lots of vagrants and they've had enough of it in their parking lot.

    Rousted in Oklahoma!

    Called and got permission to overnight park in an Oklahoma City Walmart, was rousted by an unfriendly security guard after settling into bed. I told him I had permission, but he wasn't having it. This is my first "big" trip, from NY to AZ, sleeping in Walmarts or Cracker Barrels, using the...

    Women Only: Connecting with others while on the road

    Hello Radar! I'm right there with you! I spent the summer solo in the Adirondacks, and I'm ready for company! When I saw Bob's video where he talked about "tribe," it brought me to tears.  While I'm eager to meet other women on the same journey, I'm also cautious about giving out information...

    Women Only: Major downsizing

    Adding myself to this thread, I'll be a newbie at the RTR this year and would love to meet up with other women. I started out van-dwelling in the Adirondacks this summer, and leaving from NY state next week to head out West, my first big trip! It took me a few years to purge everything, and I'm...
