I would tell myself to take advantage of opportunities, even if they were not that appropriate. :ROFLMAO:

You don't say exactly how old you are, but if you are in your early 20's....you have an interesting outlook on life. I think that many people here will tell you their stories of working their life away until they were able to enjoy their van life now. A cold reality is that financial security...

In September I traveled to Fort Lee, VA, my very first permanant duty station. I was stationed there in 1980 and I wanted to see it again, to kindle fond memories of the place. When I arrived I visited the barracks where I lived and found it was no longer a barracks, it was office space for...

I'm not full time, but when I am on the road for a couple of weeks.......its such a restful, peaceful feeling. When I am at home I am always watching the clock....even when I have nothing to do. When we used to take vacations, we were always in a rush to get to make our hotel reservations or...

We just visited Waco last month. Disappointing that the pass didn't cover entrance into the exhibit building.

I have a 2016 Ford Transit Connect. I was involved in a rear ended accident in September. I had it in the shop while they looked for a back door for my van. The sensor kept running the lights because it thought the back door was empty and it drained my battery. I too don't like the battery...

It's amazing how much water you can use talking showers. Even with the smaller systems you can use 1-2 gallons. That means you are always restocking your water supply. I too enjoy starting my day with a nice shower, but sometimes I find myself in a location where a shower is not possible...

Good question, I thought about this as well. I have seen them on the rack on the back of a van, but not connected. You might alwo want to worry about it being stolen. I'm sure someone will post an answer.

When I was traveling through northern NV I saw signs protesting the mine. The problem is how we dispose of lithium batteries.....they are considered hazardous waste. Someone is digging deep holes and placing old batteries in containers and burying them. :cry:

Not really. A single candle will not have much of an impact. I can always open a window for a few minutes if necessarary. I nearly froze to death when I was 12 when I got caught in a blizzard and since then I have developed a high tolerance for cold. Cold is a state of mind, it's merely the...

I have a trip planned for the northeast but I don't have a date yet. I will be going Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and others sites. Not a lot of national parks out your way.

Awesome pics and your van is looking good.

I really don't know about the "throttling back" or data cap. With unlimited data, and 5 people using data on our plan.....we have NEVER had to pay for anything extra. When I travel, I stop for the night and after dinner I might watch 3-4 hours of TV, Amazon Prime, or you tub videos without any...

Thanks Jim! I will gladly accept a commission from them.:LOL:

welcome to the site. I hope you live your dreams. We too thought about moving to Colorado, south of Fort Carson, but things just never worked out. I will be traveling through the south west next spring.

I served for 15 years, taking an early retirement in 1995. I would not have missed it for the world! I have visited or lived in 10 countries. I served so others could reap the benefits of freedom. Its nice to be recognized for my contribution and it was my honor to serve you. Its sad that...

Personally, I love a good debate. If I tell you the sky is green and you debate me that it's blue. I respect that. If you roll your eyes and walk away, then I think less of you. Some people take the position that you should not waste your time debating with idiots, but debate is necessary in...

I have thought about visiting the site, but not really staying the night. I would likely look at things and then go find a safer place to camp.

Welcome! I love traveling through Missiouri, very nice country.

When I travel I watch TV on my phone and I have unlimited data. As long as I get a good signal, I don't notice any problems. We have 5 phones on our service plan, so splitting my bill 5 ways....I pay around $50 a month. With my spectrum app, I am able to watch the same programs as if I were at...
