I’ve always stayed down the road in the free 14 day areas and rotated to other local options. There are lots of cheap or free camping if you just caravan or move every 14 days. Most boondockers need a resupply after 14 days anyway so it isn’t really a question of paying for fuel but of...

Greatest temperature range between night and day I ever experienced was in Fort Wingate New Mexico right on the Continental Divide, one reason I chose Arizona over New Mexico for a home base.

Thanks! I really liked the mountains in that area when we were out that way.

Picasso Peak is north of Tucson isn’t it?

I think they are farther behind than that! National Parks campgrounds were originally designed to accommodate campers less than 28’ and some still only 19’ to this day!

If you are in Texas I would check with the Escapee’s group insurance advisor, they might have some insight that might help. Their headquarters is in Livingston Texas and they deal with new members every day becoming Texas residents and registering and insuring vehicles.

^^^A lot of us are at a point in our lives where we are mainly living where the climate doesn’t cause our bodies to hurt as much and we enjoy being cheaply. Staying healthy and the more mobile the better until we are not able. Then snow birding between to home bases or having outside groups of...

For your student loans take a look at doing a job in a career field that will repay or forgive them after 10 years. Government has been trying to help as bankruptcy doesn’t cover student loans but there are way too many people that made bad decisions early to let those that influenced them off...

It works well on my 2500 dual fuel Champion generator but I wouldn’t want to have to run it often as maintenance and fuel gets expensive and bothersome. Full hookup site makes it easy and justifies the cost mostly or seasonal work if necessary.

The small Frigidaire 5,000 BTU window units are cheap, easy to install and do a great job of cooling small areas like my bedroom in my travel trailer or my camper basically 10’x8’x7’ space in 110 degree direct sun desert weather.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Might become Boeing’s stock market description if it doesn’t make it back!

By plan B I mean checking out alternatives like calling local government offices to see if they can recommend places you might park if you have to. Check in advance commercial parking lots, 24 hour restaurants like Cracker Barrel or Denny’s. Local hospitals or motels with truck parking areas...

It depends on what state you are in as states legislate insurance laws and companies write different policies based on what state you are a resident of. Try a school bus forum and post there. You will find commercial insurance is generally more expensive I believe but in some states it may be...

The major difficulty most have is learning how to live outside or with the lack of enough power to control the temperatures in their living areas so they migrate. Even that doesn’t work as well for some so they seek full hookups by either getting it furnished by seasonal work, developing...

Dual filament light bulbs sometimes break the top filament and the end falls down on the lower filament of the light bulb causing the the light to dim when you push the brake petal as the broken brake light filament is now using the running light filament in the bulb as a ground. I would start...

Four of the yellow top totes (30”x20”) with a piece of plywood 30”x80” laid on top makes a good bed platform and one on either side if two people but if you are too tall to sleep across the vehicle three across and side by side with some end reinforcing works without many alterations to the...

Many parks may be closed to camping after Labor Day in the Eastern part of the country. Be sure to have a plan B!

Welcome! Lots of space in there! Most older vans are owner custom builds as full timers need to utilize every inch of space to meet their individual needs. I would suggest you start camping/living in your van with simple temporary fixtures like totes or cardboard boxes to get an idea of what...
