I found an informative article in Wand’rly Magazine from March 2017 titled, “The Average Nightly Cost of RV Camping in the United States.” It has a lot of data and figures about the current cost of campgrounds broken down by private, public, region, and individual states.   Some things are not...

For those who resupply in Blythe I found water machines that cost $0.25 per gallon or $1.00 for five (nearby Glacier machines are $0.30/$1.50). These machines are a half block west of the Smart & Final Grocery Store on Hobsonway in a parking lot next to Salinas Pharmacy (E. Hobsonway at S. 4th St.)

I am posting this since many vandwellers have memberships at 24 Hour Fitness and some spend the night in their parking lot. I am not implying that people should avoid 24 Hour Fitness; I am just sharing this for general security awareness.  A motive for the shooting has yet to be determined. I...

Others on the road should find this useful: Glacier Water has a machine locator on their website: http://glacierwater.com/machine-finder/ I went to a machine today for the first time: $1.25 to fill my 5 gallon jug; much easier than trying to find a park or rest area with a spigot.

Does anyone have tips on lighting the Mr. Heater Little Buddy? Mine does a good job heating the van, but it’s a pain to light. It always takes several tries (holding the prime button for 30 seconds) before it will finally ignite. Damian

Greetings all -  I have been a avid reader of this forum for a long time and want to introduce myself now that I have become a van dweller. In June I got a Sprinter class B and have been full-time in it since. Next week I’ll take an early retirement and will start on a long tour of the U.S...
