I lived in Orlando for 22 years and can tell you the dirty secret of O Town is crime...there are many parts of the metro area where you are just not safe, period. . Many of the shopping center parking lots see armed robberies daily. You had better do some serious research on this topic and KNOW...

Being a newbie and one who is a mechanical klutz to boot...in looking at zillions of ads I see a disturbing trend...very often on 1990's motorhomes with Ford engines I see that the transmission is blown or needs repair or was replaced or rebuilt...VERY often See this moreso than with Dodge or...

I'm still looking for a reasonably priced 1990ish class b (24-26 foot Born Free or Chinook)and was wondering...before I call my insurance agent (Uugghh)... what some of you might be paying for real minimal insurance on vehicles from the 1990's?? And maybe some advice...am I crazy to be thinking...

I'm kinda surprised at the consensus of owning some land, having a land base etc. from this group, must admit. However, the more I read about collapse that is happening right now, the more I think I understand. Gasoline will become scarce and extremely costly...all one has to do is read how the...

Hey Fuz- You're soooh right about conventional living. The PowersThatBe want you to be a good little slave and go in debt to the tune of $100,000 for a college degree for which there may no longer be any jobs...so yeah, you're on the right track in not wanting conventional living. All I would...

Wondering if the newish Survival Food Money-making opportunities are for real and do-able for the mobile rubber tramping set?? Two I have seen are eFoods and SamAndy Foods...now while logistically they make sense because they are generally freeze-dried or dehydrated and only require boiling...

Asking for some brainpower, er brainstorming help...I have two friends who own farms in North Carolina and Virginia...one is mostly small garden specialty crops but with chickens and donkeys....the other is strictly a cool mini-zoo: Clydesdale horses, goats...one of which needs milking, a goofy...

I have a question about this: If you buy a camper, motorhome whatever to fix and resell...how do you get around paying the taxes & registering it, tags etc. only to resell and maybe these costs eat up any profit you might make...or do you not register/tag etc in the time you have it?? But...

Bravo for you SuperGypsy---we've all been sold a bill of goods by an evil, corrupt system whose only goal is to enslave us...your words ring true and eloquent. Where are you geographically now?? Coming to you from the East Coast challenged subset of this incredibly fine and friendly board. I'm...

Stude53,<br>Man you are so Right On about the vandwelling life being, if not easier, then certainly more appropriate or conducive to being OUT WEST...I can't quite figure the right word to use, but I sure wish I was based somewhere in maybe northern Arizona or Oregon/Washington/Utah/Nevada etc...

Hey Bob-<br>What part of N Carolina are you located...I'm here in Southside Virginia just over the line, north of Raleigh around Kerr Reservoir??<br>We're lone in the woods here in this part of the country...seems 90% of our cohorts of the Rubber Tramping persuasion are out luxuriating in the...

Hi Marsha-<br><br>Your post really interests me because I too am just beginning my rv search and have had a devil of a time trying to narrow down between motorhome types, as in Class A? Or Class B? Or Class C? The sheer number of brands, styles and floorplans is mindboggling!! I'm interested in...

Seraphim<br>Your post really resonated with me as I have kinda settled on a Class B...just beginning my search and my learning curve. While I love those 32 foot Class A's for livability...they just seem too darned huge.. I drove a 33 foot Holiday Rambler Imperial Class A from Pensacola to...

To KatieinKansas you mention beginning a van conversion...I'm wondering is there some place on this forum where you can easily find PICTURES of people's various rigs and conversion steps...I'm a slow learner and am only just getting started on this whole site. Haven't seen pics links in forum...

Wow...this site is so awesome...and Bob's answer to Stealth versus an RV is just what I was looking for...if I may rant alittle...I'm very unmechanical and overwhelmed with all the information available everywhere let alone this superb site...I guess I just feel that there is so little time left...

I'm wondering are there those among the permanent vantrampers (is that term acceptable?? I'm a newbie to this) that are now operating a mobile business offering skills in return for barter...camping free...hard cash?? Examples would be Bob the forum owner who has solar skills (by the way I want...

I'd like to clarify alittle.&nbsp; I am new to RVs and am attempting myself to learn something new...I believe that as millions lose their homes and jobs, first the price of rv vans and motorhomes may well fall greatly but then as people realize the huge cost saving of living a mobile life...
