I'm also beginning to like the idea of mounting a fairly small box behind the rear window of my truck and using that as a place for the dog to ride. Plus using the rest of the bed for cargo, of course. This will modify some of my plans for a more weather-tight living and sleeping arrangement...

Good points. And they will enter into further calculations. Thanks.

That's okay, highdesertranger.  That Coleman oven, for instance. I had a notion that it might be pretty worthless. But I couldn't turn it away based on that. Now I've got a plausible third party view on the matter and that oven is going off my list. Maybe I'll get a dutch oven and learn how to...

Oh, the tent is only for getting started. Though it's likely to remain as a subsidiary shelter after our more permanent, and weather sheltered, home on wheels is established. I do have a scheme in mind for a 'quick start' on something more substantial than a tent as shelter. I just didn't want...

Thank you.

Let me guess........ A 1919 MG? Maybe a Stutz? I know! It's an REO Speedwagon!

We're a recently retired couple. Me, late 50s. And my wife is in her early 50s. We have a home that's modest, but likable to us. One bonus is that it's among some gorgeous trees and rather wooded ground with plenty of elevation changes and some pretty cool wildlife. One could say we live in the...

Another good...... and melancholy...... point. Those friends of mine who go back, at this time, forty and fifty years are now all dead. I have two friends in this neighborhood who are of the 'close friends' type, as opposed to friendly acquaintances. We genuinely trust each other and so on...

With that outer skin, it can only be a Dodge. :) (Just to set the record straight, I simply love Dodge trucks and Chrysler passenger cars from my youth. 60s and 70s. But they weren't perfect. I doubt if anyone will ever make that claim. And they were quirky. Yup, Dodge would be the perfect...

I certainly like what I've seen so far. Tell us more about it. What sort of equipment you have, for instance.

Well, dig this! I'm the type who gets a bit involved with a number of threads on a few different formus. (New to this one) I certainly do crave the communication involved. But I think of it as 'food for thought' mostly. Now this thread resulted in measurable progress for the OP. It's unusual...

I've been a wanderer most of my life. (Though I've really stayed put the last ten years.). I didn't plan it that way. But all along through grown up life the need to make a living kept me moving on. Sometimes it was in order to get a decent job. Other times the job itself kept me on the...

I love it! When I first saw the 6 foot overhang I worried that the blunt nose would be hard on fuel mileage. But then it also occurred to me that it'll make a fantastic sun shade while driving. To heck with mileage.

Hi. I'm brand new to this forum myself. And I've never owned an RV or anything like that. I'm merely thinking about it. But you've reminded me of something that I once enjoyed. I used to make my living out on the road. Spent years staying in hotels. One night I watched a semi-truck pull into a...

Hi, folks. My wife and I are pondering 'going RV' in retirement. This might well be a good place to get some general ideas about cost, pros and cons and stuff like that. Our aim will not be to live a nomadic life. We'll be fairly stationary. We do want to get away from the sun and get away...
