I believe Kentucky has the highest water table in the country. I can remember 9’ hand dug wells in some places but pollution is a problem.

I’m usually a no pan or one skillet cooking kind of guy! Lol!!! Usually breakfast and usually an egg dish for my hot meal unless open fire is allowed then grilled meat on a stick and foil wrapped veggies in the coals for dinner.

You are right there are places where laws are not enforced but they are getting fewer. If the economy goes bad there will probably be less funding and even less enforcement but the laws are still there for what good or bad they do.

Yep there are lots of problem areas I would need addressed. First as mentioned many people like me are 5’10 1/2” and it takes 6’ or a few inches to make comfortable standing height. My DIY trailer is 6’ and I still can hit my head if I stand on a thick rug with my hiking boots on and stand on my...

If the Border Bill gets passed there is funding for even more officers and technology to be implemented. Wish Trump would have allowed that to happen sooner and stopped the inflow of immigrants even more, maybe now he will as he has won the election and gotten the power he wanted.

Last I heard it was $1200 a year.

Take a look at Glen Canyon Recreational Area on the north end where Lake Powell used to begin. Lots of dispersed camping spring and fall best temps. School property can be gotten with a 99 year lease as schools are financed by 40 acre parcels in most sections. Water will be the biggest challenge...

Sleeping on BLM land a few miles outside National Parks and Recreation Areas allow you to access lots of things during the day to make life easier and stays longer like trash, water, dumps, plug-in to charge with, showers, laundromat and even a place to be inside and use the internet with...

You still have steps in most campers no mater what kind. Even vans have one or two. Modern technology has made light weight staircases that go from side to side behind the truck and lift gates as well as accommodating handicap lifts but they are expensive for most applications. I saw one...

You can’t have ground clearance without raising the center of gravity but you can keep heavy items lower.

Got news for you, the Cartel with drones and observation posts know exactly where you are in these areas as well as the Border Patrol and NPS Rangers with military style sensors in areas they can afford them and be effective.

Motorhomes are great if you are moving often but don’t sit long periods well as rubber decays and fuel goes bad. Trailers work better for extended stays in my opinion.

To be fair the muderer was on the run from Mexican Police but the border afforded him an escape. He wasn’t targeting anyone in particular. Back then bike gangs and vigilante type militia groups as well in the area moving drugs and playing soldier that increased Border Patrol presence ran off...

There are older people still living a modified lifestyle in an RV. I am over seventy and still in an RV. Basically stationary RVs in different locations occasionally traveling. The key is to remain healthy and mobile which isn’t easy but possible. There are pros to RV living in your old age but...

He needs to expand a little and use methane to heat and run his generator!

Ken you live far enough out apparently you don’t deal with many people, why would you care how many letters are in the alphabet? I deal with other people often and happily don’t care. There are lots of other more important things that affect my life than trying to figure out other people’s ideas...

A injection pump runs between $700 to $1,600 dollars, not cheap in my book especially if you add injectors and lines. Larger cooling and lubrication systems due to high compression combustion means more maintenance costs as well especially on older well worn engines. Increased weight on...

Welcome! Treat the van as a steel tent and just use it as a sleeping area to begin with. Getting a good nights sleep makes solving any other problems easier in the morning!

I beg to disagree there were a few manufacturers that made RVs that were very well thought out and well built. Yes diesels have been designed and most of the high compression lubrication and cooling problems solved by the emissions problem is still problematic and the use of electronics to solve...

I live in a horribly built newer camper trailer now but for most of the last 20 years lived in a well built (in my opinion) 28’ motorhome. It is possible to do so if as you say “you buy wisely and don’t abuse them” much more economically than a house in my opinion. Even the best ones still...
