I don't van dwell full time, I only go on trips for 10-14 days at a time. I recently took a trip through OR, WA, MN, ID, NM, UT. The west is less populated than the east......and in my opinion, the people are nicer. There are parts of the west where you can drive for hours and not see a lot...

I'm a disabled vet and I do have the Access America Pass which gives me free entry to all national parks, historic sites, and monuments. It also gets me discounts at national sites for camping. Some states will give you a discount as well, but they are few and far between. Many resturants and...

Welcome to the site. I have found a lot of useful information here, I'm sure you will too. Lots of experienced people here to help you along.

I'm not macanically inclined so I usually buy new. I also wanted a high top but ended up with a cargo van. The high tops I found were over $40,000. Like you, I wasn't sure if I would keep the van very long or if I would even like van life. I kept the build very, very simple. Everything I...

Several years ago, I took the family to Yellowstone in May. I checked the weather and it said the temperature was in the 60-70 degree range so we packed up our camping gear and took off. I thought it was odd that we were able to reserve a campsite so easily. When we arrived we found our site...

Yes, very similiar to that one you found on Amazon. Last night I was watching a Youtube video where a woman used an alcohol stove to heat her van. It uses cans of alcohol canned fuel and would burn for about 2.5 hours. When she lit it, it raised her van temperature several degrees degrees and...

Welcome! I'm not a full timer, just a traveler. I often take trips of 10-14 days at a time. I have found such peace and tranquility on the road. I have a trip planned for the northeast this year, not sure when yet. Keep us posted on your developments.

Hello fellow disabled vetran and thanks for your service! Just in case you didn't know, as a disabled vetran you are eligible for a free Access America Pass. That pass gets you free entrance to all national parks, national monumnets, and historic sites. It also gets you discounts at many...

I looked into car shield this year. They only cover your vehicles up to 150,000 miles. Most people don't have issues with their vehicles before then. My quote was $75 per month....or $900 a year! If you have this plan for 3 years, it would cost you $2,700. You would be better off saving the...

I heard this as well. I'm hearing that they are not really cancelling the flight, they are using your plane to transport stranded passengers.

Yes they did. Not only do I spot for the county, I am also a storm chaser. I can look at a cloud formation and decide if those clouds would become a thunderstorm or just drop some rain.

I live in rural Nebraska and became a trained weather spotter. They focus on thunderstorms and tornadoes, but you do learn alot about the weather. Winter storms are very hard to predict because the high/low presures are impacted by the tempatures. In the summer, storms travel a lot faster so...

All of these ads are slowing my system down. It interrupts my train of thought when searching for a thread. I too may call it quits. :mad:

Like you, when I first started I overplanned everything! Too much gear, clothes, food, ect. I have been on 6 trips since I retired last May. Each trip averages 3-5,000 miles. I have also been bothered about what this really is.....a lifestyle or vacation? For me it's a little of both. I...

I don't do a lot of baking/cooking when I travel. I would say that 90% of my meals are dry stock and canned food. Everything I cook is for the meal I am eating right now. I don't make enough to store for a couple meals due to my limited cold storage. I will hit a grocery store once in a while...

Yes it is.......but of course the fixed the problem now. 😏

I'm a retired postmaster. Depending on what services you may want.......I recommend going to a small RMPO office (most are only open 8-12). You can establish better repore with the smaller office and are likely to remember you and treat you better. They are located in very small towns and not...

I will have to look into that one. Right now I am focused on the NPs that are far away from home. Then I can do the surrounding states later. I live in Nebraska and have visited some places in SD years ago. I really like the states right around here, lots of scenery to look at.

I think you are right. It's sad in some ways, but you are still right. :cry: Thanks for your service in RVN! 😋 I have a Vietnamese friend who escaped when Siagon fell. His older brother was a doctor and they inserted gold bars into him to hide it from the Viet Cong. They robbed them of...
