I think if you buy a $5,000.00 vehicles you're buying repairs. It depreciates every second. If pushed into it I could live in the SUV rig I have tricked out for camping but have found it boring. It seems this is not a sustainable life with no happy ending. I live in Mexico on $500.00 month...

I don't know what we put in. Likely 220 since that already set up for washer dryer. Lifes pretty easy. I enjoy waking up without a worry in the world. Except cooking up ribs for superbowl party and Sonoran ribeyes a bit later.

In the summer the humidity is brutal. I put a mini split on my unit as has just about everyone else. In summer the ac is on 24/7. Of course the electric bill is only $50.00 in summer so its no big deal.

Great idea. Theres room for you to park here over night. I can have Jose take you to the parks you may be interested in.

Thats an awesome build! I use a 2003 dodge durango for camping. Ripped out back seats and put in a platform with storage under. I don't go out long, just days at a time BLM etc. My needs are minimal and I have everything I need.

I find that you can reliably predict the future by past relevant behavior. I think the only safe place for you is to explore social services. Section 8 housing and habitat for humanity. Theres also food pantries etc as well as social programs. I am not being demeaning to you. Hitting the road...

If you want some photos instagram is crazyoldgringo.

If anyone is interested I started a new thread Living in Mexico on less than $500 a month. Theres links to Instagram and Youtube. Id be interested in comments. Also I'm very curious to hear about why people live a van life. If there were other options would you take it? Were you forced into it...

After seeing a little interest in my comments on this site and others regarding living in Mexico I decided to put together a quick blog post and leave links to my instagram and Youtube channel that gives highlights to a lifestyle other than sticks and bricks. Maybe this will be helpful. If I get...

Theres a bunch. Cost is usually $2200.00 a year. I live in a small compound and we have out own electric boxes so its cheap. RV parks usually include some electric, but theres a limit. I'm a short walk to the Sea of Cortez. In the summer, just like Phoenix, it brutally hot and humid. Other than...

Now that is an interest and bucket list. I am considering heading to Ensenada for the summer and playing beach bum. San Diego weather. New Mexico sounds good.

I'm not quite van life. I need a bit more security for dogs and me. I put a 30 foot 5th wheel in a small RV park in Puerto Penasco Mexico, 4 hours from Phoenix AZ. The idea was to have a home base to come back to while I travel after retirement. I have no interest in another $3000.00 mortgage so...

I use it. As a disabled vet the lifetime membership is $10.00. The parks I've stayed in have amazing areas to camp in, but yes, you have to stop and pay $10.00 camp site fee.

I know this place. Bob Wells did a V log on it a few years ago. I'm right down the road in Rocky Point Mexico. Started out with a 30 foot 5th wheel weekend getaway in a small park with other weekenders. Now retired living here full time. Just a quad or bike ride to the beach. $154.00 a month...

What I found interesting is the $1,000.00 fine the Park Service handed out to two people videoing in a national park without first getting a permit. A quick glimpse at the rules it seems if done without intent to monetize the video, no permit is needed. Does that mean all Youtubers with a...

Absolutely love Bobs work and watch his videos all the time as well as other well meaning travelers.  As always I have a choice when it comes to channel surfing and for those that I don't care for, I move on. I am cognisant that social media and the over indulgance of it, like anything else, can...
