Hi everyone! I have been MIA around here for quite some time because I decided to travel over seas for a bit before settling in a vehicle and traveling the country full time. Anyway, I recently returned to the states and I'm now looking for a vehicle to hit the road. There is a dealer that has...

I did it, I finally did it!!!!!  I gave my landlord notice today and I will be out of my house by the end of the month.  At that point I will be moving in with my sister, rent free, to save all my income and hopefully will have a vehicle by the first of the year.  Woo hoo!!!!!!  Plans are...

Is there anyone here who can help me with some questions about monetizing a blog, specifically about the Amazon referral links? My blog isn't where I can make money off of it but I'm thinking later on when I get on the road I would like to turn it into a travel blog kind of site and would like...

Ok so many of you may know that I've been trying to sell everything I own for months now.  All I've been getting rid of is a piece of decor here and there but nothing major. Last week I posted another "selling everything" post on FB and got a huge response this time!  It was kind of...

So I have been trying to sell everything I own for the last couple of months and it's not easy at all.  I have so much stuff, a lot of it is nice things that I spent good money on and I would like to recoup some money back and then I have a lot of stuff that I'll get rid of for cheap or even...

I haven't bugged you guys in a while for input on a van I'd like to look at so I'm overdue.  hahaha I know it's hard to give thoughts on price for my specific aread but in general is this a decent vehicle, engine etc? It looks in great shape and it only has about 77k miles which I think is...

Well doesn't this suck.  My boyfriend and I, who have been together for just over three years, broke up last night.  For good this time.  I say for for good this time because for the last couple of months it's been a struggle once he realized I was serious about wanting to become a van dweller...

So I currently have two flat screen tv's, a 42" in my living room and a 40" on the wall in my bedroom and both are smart tv's.  These will both obviously be too big when moving into a van so I plan on getting a smaller one to mount above the bed in my van.  I was going to get another smart tv so...

I know this isn't a new idea but it just struck me this weekend as I'm downsizing. As I go through each room I have decided to designate a small space for my day to day belongings for that room and get everything else out of that room. For example, in the bathroom I have my vanity with a lot...

I am so excited that I finally got one of these for what I think is a great price, $39.99. I've had it on my wish list on Amazon and they're $79.99, a little pricey for me right now so I thought I'd grab one as I get closer to hitting the road.  Then when I found out Sports Authority was going...

Let me start by saying this may be long and all over the place, but please bare with me here.  hahaha Yesterday morning started with my boyfriend and I having an ugly argument about me doing this lifestyle change.  He was legit heartbroken, hurt and mad.  Even though I've been talking about it...

I know on the top of my want list for my van is a solar system, second to a bed I guess. I want to get the basic system set up and I know I can add to it later.  I read Bob's blog about solar set up and it was super helpful.  So I found this on Home Depot's website.  It seems pricey but I don't...

I'm finally just going to make this happen.   I'm long past the point where I hate going to work every day.  I live on the first floor of a two family house and I have a new neighbor that just moved in upstairs and all I'll say is that she's not very friendly and her acquaintances are...

I am overwhelmed with the support I have of my friends and family about my plans to become a van dweller. I know that not everyone in this lifestyle has the support of everyone in their life, and I'm sure not all even care or need the validation of others, but I feel so grateful and lucky to...

I came across a CL ad for a Westfalia which got me to searching more about them on eBay and other sales sites and I am blown away as to how expensive they are and how old they are.  They are like $15-20k starting for one from the 1980's. They are super cool but are they really that reliable...

......for the first time ever. Yup I'm 46 and have never changed a tire, that's what AAA and my ex-husband were for.  hahaha   I came out to a flat tire Monday morning, a tow company was there in five minutes (it's nice to know people) put my spare on and off I went.  I went to a tire shop...

One of my favorite veggies is mashed potatoes but I don't always feel like spending the time it takes to make fresh mashed potatoes.  And I don't get the boxed instant potatoes because they usually require milk which I don't drink so I never have it in the fridge. Last week my friend was...

I don't know if this store is only on the East Coast or across the country but they are closing 463 stores and I thought I would share because they are starting their liquidation sales. If anyone is in need of camping gear you might want to check it out.  I'm thinking of graabbing some of the...

This may be a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway.  :P So I just read Bob's article on "Cheap & Easy Ways to Get Electricity" and I am ecstatic to find that I can have electric so easily until I'm able to get a solar system set up. I understand I can get a marine battery and just keep...

I know it's older but it says new transmission only has 70k miles and it looks in fairly decent condition.  And I'm loving the high-top since I'm 5' 10".  All the other recent work sounds good too. But I don't know anything about makes and engines and all that stuff so was hoping I could get...
