I show Office Depot to be unsecured as well! I have within walking distance, Lowes, Office Depot, Walmart. Across the street is Home Depot. All I need is an unsecured shower now! LOL<br>It didn't occur to me to drive around and see who is unsecured. I doubt many would broadcast the...

I found it mentioned somewhere else here about Lowes have free net access. So I guess it is a policy of theirs.<br>Most companies don't give full time. They don't want to pay benefits.

I'm sitting in my truck, on my laptop, courtesy of free internet access from Lowes. 2 hrs. worth. Now I just have to figure what I need to recharge in my truck! A pocket inverter? And a different charger for my phone? Not too savvy on this stuff.

Last night was my first night sleeping in the truck! The comfort aspect was good. I'm 5'7" and can stretch out all the way in the back seat. I chose to park by a boutique type motel. Not good. Noisy guests, but worse was noisy staff way into the night. I don't know how guests slept. I finally...

I have quite a few safe spots scoped out for in town. Casinos, streets surrounding mid size motels and apt complexes.....basically places that you'd expect to see cars parked overnight. Sometimes I think the most obvious and visible place would be the least likely to be suspect. My place to...

I found out that the BLM land in Morongo Valley doesn't allow overnight. Huh? There's the Whitewater Preserve, free but only 3 days. I'll try it out. Cooler than Palm Springs, trees for shade, toilets, water, covered picnic tables. And the river! So the search goes on for additional free camping...

As of tomorrow afternoon I'll be living in my truck(camper soon). I've scoped out quite a few spots I can stealth park/sleep part of the time. But I want to find somewhere I can go for dispersed camping the rest of the time. Not easy to find spots here! Yes, Slab City, but too far as I work part...

There is nothing on the bed or the sides or underneath. I've spent the morning learning online about different ways to attach. The only one that's affordable for me is the stake pocket tie downs, which will limit me to a light weight camper, 8' I gather. I read where someone beefed up the stake...

rjw146 Thanks for the offer of advice. I have been perusing craigslist. Lots of the oldies in San Diego and the inland empire. I mostly know what to look for with structural, rot and such. And make sure all the stuff does what it's supposed to. Mostly it'll be the fastening aspect. Does it...

Yes, Palm Springs. It's a study in contrasts. Haves have a lot. And a lot of them like to hold onto it. In my experience here, 5 yrs, not a friendly place. The "Hi how are you" kind that don't really want to know the answer, unless it's "Fine".&nbsp;<br>It's very service industry focused. The...

The storage unit is for 3 months max, term of their "special". I intend to have a slide in camper within that time frame. I'm in So Cal, in the Coachella valley. I've been enjoying a "cooling" trend of mid to upper 90s. Ha. There are so so many homeless here, both living in a vehicle and the...

Thanks for the words of encouragement!<br>I've downsized a lot with more to go. I rented a 5x5 storage unit so I can make measured decisions on what else to keep. Also, I want to sell the Snugtop shell that came with the truck. It looks nice, matches the truck, but not as much comfort as I'd...

I'm going to be technically homeless June 2, and I couldn't be happier!&nbsp;<br>Okay, well, I could be.... but finally. No rent, just car insurance, gas and upkeep, cell bill. Whew. It's been a long time comin'.<br>I have a '91 F150 Lariet xlt with a 302. It has a camper shell, the kind that's...

Hi. We are pretty close to making the leap. I've done it before, full timing. My partner has not and has resisted mightily until now. The reality of the&nbsp;recession has finally allowed her to see the futility of staying connected to the system. We will likely be out of our rented house here...
