Thanks so much....how this all warms my soul....you all KNOW how I am feeling.....like trying to find my way out of the house of glass....with my hands extended in front of me....just figuring things out!!! Thank you...THANK YOU....for the wonderful support and encouragement!

Great input! Thanks! Nope....I'm not one of these million dollar rigs people....I choose to live frugally....have worked my butt off....my rig is a 22' Fleetwood, circa 1992 that I remodeled myself...it has all the comforts of home including solar....all without breaking the bank or a monthly...

For sure, renting my property out would certainly seem like my best option....but there was a time in my life where I was flipping forclosure properties and when everything tanked in 2008 I was stuck holding a few properties which I rented out for a number of years until the market recovered- I...

Thanks everyone for the great input! I agree that we must leave it cleaner than we found it...and it is those that don't that ruin it for the rest of us....and give the mobile community a bad name...

OK thanks for the input....I realize this has been a periodic topic of discussion but since things are constantly changing I was wondering if there were any new developments. Thankfully I live in the southwest....so whatever I end up doing will revolve mostly around the western US.

Great suggestion, by God....didn't think of this one- humpf….Thanks! :D

I have read some articles online and seen some videos online about the "Powers That Be" trying to control ones ability to quit the rat race and live the free life boondocking whether it is in a car, van or RV- Right now I still have a home base, small business but I boondock regularly around the...

I am not sure what you mean "Sitting on a gold mine"....if you are referring to the proceeds from my home...yes it may be a chunk of money- but I don't want to just live off of it and run the well dry....I want to be smart and make sure I think about retirement, complete retirement.....now while...

Yes....I did think of this...I have a smaller(22') older travel trailer and if I stick to just little dogs I could easily wash them in my kitchen sink...could get a folding grooming table and already have all of my tools....I currently have a mobile grooming van, which is pretty nice...but if I...

He everyone- Been thinking about the lifestyle for some time now...and have finally realized that the only thing holding me back is ME....I have no debt because I have been working like a dog for the last 25 years...my little modest house is paid off...so if I sold it I would have a nice chunk...

Thanks for the advice....the chromium suggestion was a good one.... I have had rental properties in the past and would rather have a hot needle in my eye than have renters...they don't take care of anything and the heartache just was never worth the rent....so that idea won't work for...

Thanks so much to everyone for all of the input....is sure feels great to know that I am not alone....and that the support is there if I need it.....this is new territory for me....I have navigated most of my life independently.....and now I think my lesson(one of the many) is to learn how to...

OK....here it goes...baring my soul....I have been a lurker on this forum and following Bob Wells for years..... I admire those of you who have known down to the core of your being that living in a car, van or RV was what you wanted for yourself...either by choice or because life forced you to...

Not sure what weekend yet...but am flexible....it will be sometime before the end of july….at least a week or two from now..

At this point it is still up in the air about exactly 'When"...I am flexible....I just know I want to hit the Aspen campground in Alpine before the end of July....then I want to try the Hannagans Meadow campground just south of Alpine another weekend after that....If you think one of those...

I am planning to go camping in Alpine AZ later this month at one of the primitive campgrounds along the Black River - I will be bringing my two very well behaved "Hiking Dogs"- I have an off grid travel trailer and enjoy walking through the woods and being out in nature. I am a small business...

thanks for the input!!

Wow....great suggestions....especially the SPOT....I never heard of that thing....watched videos on YouTube....wow...thanks for the input!!

I have been a weekend warrior of sorts for many years....I bought my 2002 F350 7.3 Powerstroke brand new and have had reliable service from it aside from the transmission failing in 2014 with 78,000 miles on it....then the remanufactured transmission that was purchased and installed by Ford...
