    I'll go to HOWA and have a look. As for hooking up with other campers unless you have an RV and get a full hookup at one of the casinos camping in Las Vegas right now is out of the question because it's over 100 degrees. It's 98 right now and the high today will be 105. There are vandwellers...

    I'm looking to hook up with other van dwellers but at this time I can't go anywhere. I have an estate to settle and I need to liquidate my online junk business. I have a dog that's moping around and lays in one spot all day because his person is not around anymore. I have three years I can stay...

    Back in the 1990's there were two campsites next to the beach that let you stay for two weeks at $3 a night. I haven't researched them since. I would like it up in Nye Beach and will take your information to heart. It would be great to hook up with a family of van dwellers and discuss living...

    Yeah, this is the pass the guy I watched in the video said he received for $80 bucks a year. The pass the guy was holding was the same kind of pass as this one but didn't have the disability access logo on it. I was watching another video and the guy stated he purchased a yearly gym pass from...

    It's the heat I don't like. Still gets hot on the coast from time to time during the summer when there's no offshore breeze coming in but for the most part it's better than being inland living in a van. I used to live in the San Luis Obispo area which is near Morro Bay. I watch the news and...

    Yes, BLM does have campgrounds. I don't have the fees yet as the website states the fees vary for each campground and the local field office has to be contacted for the fees. I think I used to stay at some BLM campgrounds when I had my janitorial service. These campgrounds you could only stay...

    Pahrump is most likely the closest to me. I will start getting to know people in January on the HOWA site. Right now I just want to talk to different people from all over the U.S. so I can have options as to what I really want. I just viewed this one video where a person purchased a BLM pass for...

    No way! $800 a month is to pricy and most likely for well off people with great retirement incomes. I'm looking for people who can support themselves but would be stretched if they had to pay rent. I'm sure I would blend in with the AZ caravans but during the summer I would have a problem with...

    I would like to but at this time I cannot. My family member passed away and I'm the trustee of the estate. I have loads of responsibilities to take care of right now and probably well into next year. I have enough cash to keep the bills up for the next 3 to 4 years but I want someone here to...

    In my readings and You Tube watches I've only heard of the so called Caravans 1 time and could not find anything about them on the internet. This is the kind of group I would like to be apart of but on the west coast. Sure, in October the southwest heat turns off. I live in Las Vegas now and...

    New to the idea of van life and question

    If your going to be on the road make sure it's a "Diesel". My van 6.2 liter 8 cylinder diesel gets better milage than any six cylinder engine and is as strong as any 400 engine or more. Diesels do not have quick acceleration but are exceptionally strong pullers and have fewer problems than...

    Thanks Carla618. I look forward to meeting people who would like to develop a group of dwellers that can be family for each other out on the road. :)

    Hi Everyone! I lived in my van for 10 years in the 1990's but I worked at night with my Janitorial service so there was no problem with parking. For the past 20 years I moved in with a family member who was disabled and I worked to make money on the internet which I enjoyed. My social life was...
