    Women Only: Generator recommendations

    Hey Ladies, I'm trying to decide on a generator vs solar. I know next to nothing about either. I have checked on Amazon for generators and the price ranges are like wow. I do see some are gas operated and some battery operated. I don't know how great my need will be. If I have phone/internet...

    I'm failing at Van Dwelling

    ME TOO!!I'll be damned if I'm gonna wait in a women's long line when there's no men waiting. BUT I check to make sure it's not gross first. Typically the toilet rarely looks used since the urinal is used.  But guys, y'all can be nasty sometimes! There have been times that I've had to do the...

    Women Only: I'm back!

    Thanks ladies for sharing your stories. My sons aren't estranged but they just kinda don't really consider to ask if I need anything. I was a single mother when they were young. I managed to keep a roof over their heads, have them in sports, go to college, work 2 part-time jobs and always...

    For those who've never been to Quartzsite

    "sudden desert wind storm" Well hell, I just pictured my little pop up blowing away like the house in "The Wizard of Oz" In this flying pop up camper there will be shrills of two women heard as it floats on by. Once safely landed on the wicked witch of a snake, they will look out and say...

    Almost ready to take off.... SCARED TO DEATH!

    I so hear ya!  I've been trying to plan my stays along the way from TX heading West and my stomach starts to tighten up cuz I can't figure out the best plan.  I'll be towing a small pop-up but I still worry about how I'm gonna do.  And I question, Should we (myself n my sister) just sleep in my...

    Finally !!! I will be getting some $$$ help.

    Not sure who gave you that info on Medicare, but you should be eligible next year simply because you will be on SSDI. I believe it is an automatic. At least it was for me and I had insurance thru my previous employer.  I did not use an attorney, I went with Allsup.com. I was referred by a...

    Hooooo boy.......

    I bought a GPS tracker for my car that just inserts into the panel or whatever that little chingaderas is called. Don't know if they all do it, but my son was following along as I went camping and kept getting a "Disturbance to car" notice. I think we finally decided that everytime I opened and...

    RVSue blog announcement today

    Yes, canvas. Hoping not to do too much cooking inside the camper to keep it from retaining smells. No bear country for me until I understand the lifestyle MUCH better! And yes, I've read up on their keen ability to smell so that's been enough to make me keenly cautious. Ah hell, who am I kidding...

    Cleaning dishes with cider vinager

    I use a baking soda/vinegar mix for many cleaning jobs. But will probably just use white vinegar & water when camping. Never even realized there's a cleaning vinegar.

    RVSue blog announcement today

    My sister and I just bought a pop-up camper. Our plan is to travel west from TX starting December to CA then back to AZ where we will anxiously await the WRTR/RTR. Once that is over, we will decide if we need to come home or will continue on. We both have our houses that we will keep so we'll...
