Welcome kyra1958! Here's what I've camped in at the last two RTR's: It's probably a fair bit smaller than your SUV. Still, here's a link to my build thread. Who knows? There just may be an idea or two that you can steal. https://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=9848

One of the people camped near me at this year's RTR flew out and rented a Budget cargo van stocked with camping gear that he purchased after picking up the rental van. This gave him the opportunity to at least get a taste of what it was like living in a van while learning everything he could...

Hi Baiana! Welcome to the forums! I travel in a Kia Soul, very part time, mind you. Here'e a link to my build thread. https://vanlivingforum.com/showthread.php?tid=9848 Hopefully it's at least interesting to a Soul lover.

Have you considered, at least for the short term, converting your car to live in while you save money for something a bit roomier? Your Ford Focus should be a similar size and layout to my Kia Soul. There may be some inspiration for you in my build thread...

Excellent! Great job on taking a few ideas and putting your own spin on them!

Mine's a 2012 + with a manual transmission.

Welcome to the forums! I worked with a Chloe maybe fifteen years ago on a production of Annie Warbucks. She was a cute kid and very talented. I read your story on your profile page. I too am from Southern California, a bit north of Oceanside in South Orange County. I also have family up in...

My general response to rising gas prices is to whine and complain about it while at the same time laughing at my friends who drive less fuel efficient vehicles than mine.

If I can get time off of work I'll be there, at least for a few days.

I can't speak for Redding, having only stayed a night there maybe ten years ago, however Orange County, where I live and work is down right hostile to vehicle dwellers. A significant portion of the hostility is a direct result of a small minority of vehicle dwellers making jackasses of...

A pop-up truck camper is an option I'm exploring for a few years down the road when I'm ready to upgrade from my Kia Soul. I'm just not sure about whether my HOA would allow it.

Welcome Aboard! I'm down in Orange County. It's always nice to see another So Cal local join the forum.

Or I could just "borrow" some from the paint shop at work. :angel:

It's not a tutorial, but I have photo documentation of what I did with my solar setup. Here are my inline fuse holders: These are the splice blocks I used. They're good for up to 4 Gauge wire. The only tool needed is a flat bladed screw driver. I got them from Home Depot: After I tightened...

When I was a kid, my mother had a 1973 Country Sedan Wagon. That thing was huge!

There are a few out there that have the jackknife sofa with a Murphy bed built onto the wall behind the sofa or a drop bed suspended from the ceiling above the sofa and dinette. The advantage of these setups is that you have both a living room and bedroom area without having to completely break...

Welcome straps! Be sure to have some fun in your travels!

Welcome to the forum! I used to know a Paloma. She was a volunteer cast member in my summer show. She was one of my favorite volunteers the three or four seasons she was in the show.

Am I an herbivore or a carnivore? Yes, I am. A bit of both. I guess that makes me an omnivore.

Welcome aboard Mel! I'm down in south Orange County myself. I haven't been up to Big Bear since I was a kid.
