    I need help with getting a loan..

    That's interesting about how the dealers work, never heard that before.  No, I won't be mentioning my plans, that was kind of a stupid thought but I wondered, I admit.

    I need help with getting a loan..

    that is great, not borrowing or using credit.  I'm mostly about paying cash for what I want, but I like having that credit, and keep at least a small balance in my accounts (I just have 2 ;) ) Shuttle driving is an option if I find one on my job search.  Been using Coolworks/Older and Bolder...

    I need help with getting a loan..

    Ok, I got some good feedback on my questions, and want to thank everyone again ;) The main things I got out of the thread are that: 1. definitely don't want to let a lender know what my plans are as far as home-base (address). 2. go with bank, or maybe get with a Credit Union. Friends have...

    I need help with getting a loan..

    I am not subscribed to my own post. I thought that happened automatically. Anyway, I will answer the rest of these posts tomorrow, I'm too tired this evening to do that. I appreciate everyone's input so at least wanted to say that tonight.

    I need help with getting a loan..

    This is the way I'm going, pretty much decided before I realized I had all this feedback, and I appreciate seeing someone that has done it that way.  Thanks Cammalu

    I need help with getting a loan..

    ..for a Van. I am considered low-income, but have a good credit rating, 748 I think is in the good range.  I know a lot is takin into consideration, but I am wondering if I should divulge that I plan my Van to be my full-time home?  That would allow them to see that my rent will go away (half...

    Oregon?? Anyone...???

    I traveled the gorge at least 3 times a year, and I am not just saying the winds should be taken into account when planning a trip, I'm saying they have been higher at times for me personally. But people do say a lot of things, true. One experience I had traveling between my home in Milton...

    Oregon?? Anyone...???

    Keep your eyes on winds in the gorge as it can be a great spot for windsurfers, but dangerous for any rig on the Oregon side (never traveled the full-length of WA side). This shows some averages I guess for different months of the Year ;) You can find several sites, maybe with easier-to-read...

    I applied for a car-loan, with no vehicle chosen yet..

    My thoughts/plans would be permanent address in Oregon for Summertime (RV or long-term rental space to live) then South for Winter, hopefully find an RV, or long-term rental space)  I know it would not suit me to do a lot of driving and exploring on my own, so I would want a more familiar...

    I applied for a car-loan, with no vehicle chosen yet..

    .. but gave amount I thought I might need for a Van.  I wanted to ask folks about the sort of mileage is acceptable, but I also realize it's maybe more important to see what my first impression is of how it's been taken care of, then, have my auto-mechanics look at it. One for 10,000 I could...

    safety and fake news

    LOL!!  Yes, there are crooks in every profession, group, and basically, I try to believe there is something (Someone) with more power in the Universe ;)  I just hope it doesn't look like Predator and come from Uranus!  Bigger than that definitely ;)

    Nutrition is an important factor in losing the "right" kind of weight since I learned that the hard way ;)

    LOL ;) Speak of constellations, one, big draw for me to do the RV thing is to get out where there isn't any light-pollution, or foggy coastlines to use my telescopes. I miss those backyard campouts with my friends when I was a kid. I love star-gazing! I was afraid to eat more fat as I had it...

    safety and fake news

    I really miss the face to face interactions with people. It's too hard to handle the shallowness of online interaction for me. I've become very opinionated, like I "caught" the news-virus, the worse virus of all. More propaganda or sensationalism to push our buttons, scare us, separate us, or...

    I've had amazing results doing Keto (since Jan. 2021) and it's surprising how easy it's become to maintain. My biggest fasts are at night plus the mornings since I don't eat until several hours after I get up around 6. Keto, is basically low-carb, high fats, a bit lower protein than fat, and I...

    Last Summer I had friends, and family both, that had to evacuate the fires in Oregon.  They didn't lose their homes thankfully.  I can't imagine being in a fire again.  Years ago, wow, yep it's been some years, about 43 :s Lived in an apartment building that went up.

    68/Female hoping to meet someone..

    ..here at CRV.  I am not a Nomad, just a wanna be, but after thinking about being a full-timer, I don't care to do it alone.  I would like to meet a man my age, or very close to, that is either a Nomad, or wanna be, like myself.  I have been divorced over 20 years so you can imagine I am pretty...
