I think someone else picked it up from the auction and they have it listed for $4,000

Would a '95 Astro van with 49,000 original miles and "government maintained" be a good fit for someone who isn't mechanically inclined?

I have a hypothetical question to all of those who are full time van dwellers.  Let's say someone gives you a house free and clear in a quiet area with lots of trees. Your taxes amount to $50 per month, and utilities are $100-150 per month, perhaps lower if you're creative. They also give you...

I just purchased this one and used it last weekend. It appears to be good quality. My only problem was I was camping in 90+ weather with high humidity and it was like an oven inside. It has vents on top but no windows. If you don't need to use it in high heat I would recommend it.

Stay safe with the hurricane. Had some winds in my area but not bad.

I thought someone had posted something about Dodge Ram 1500 vans being best if they were made before a certain year. Any information you can give me about them would be appreciated.

I love your cabin. This was my dream but I couldn't find land to put it on in west central Florida. I've resigned that I will probably end up staying in my larger house, turn the backyard into an oasis, and go camping every chance I get. It's a happy life so I can't complain.

I think I'm done here. I gave a little too much information about myself in an attempt to help you. I need to get ready for bed so I can get up early to go to work tomorrow. That's where my money comes from.

Not sure what keeps drawing me to this thread. Asking coworkers to recycle while helping to give someone a leg up and keeping an eye out for metals as you drive almost sounds like passive income to me. I might look into that one myself. I don't mean this in a condescending way at all. Like I...

I first have to say I only read through the first 8 pages of this thread so I hope what I am about to say is still relevant.  I think I was in somewhat of a similar situation as the original poster. I had a job that I hated and I felt stuck. I didn't think there was anything else that I could...

I'm able to use a camp potty in mine but I think a privacy tent near the door would be a better option. I am comfortable sleeping in a t-shirt and shorts so I don't have to worry about dressing inside the camper.

I have a RAV4 and a very basic teardrop (cost $3500 from Craigslist). I thought about selling the RAV to get a van but finally decided to keep what I have for now. I do not full-time but if I ever do, I still think I would start out with what I have until I decide exactly what I would need to...

Also check out Trekker Trailers (trekkertrailers.com). I think they are better built than the Runaways.

One thing I thought about doing to protect my teardrop is to hide some sort of GPS device in it to help the police find it if it was ever stolen.

I know this post is older but I just wanted to let those of you who are looking for a trailer know about trekkertrailers.com here in central Florida. I went to see his trailers and tiny homes firsthand and he does an awesome job. Everything is very well built. If I get a tiny home he will be my...

Is it easy to maneuver in the city? Do you carry much weight in it?

I'm thinking about getting a van to be the lounging, kitchen and bathroom and use the teardrop for a bedroom. I have another post in the van section of the van I am looking at.

I went to see this van today...lots of room inside. I can stand up in it (barely) provided I don't add anything to the roof.  Wondering what your thoughts are. I would like to make it into a lounging area, kitchen and bathroom, and then use the teardrop for my bedroom. Not sure if that would...

Perfect answer.  Visiting the dogs at animal services "just to look" is how I ended up with 2 dogs, so I dare not walk into that place as long as these dogs are alive. They are pain in the butt dogs at home, but amazingly well behaved when I am camping, so I guess they are well suited for the...

I think you are right. It felt like a lot of work at first because I didn't have a "system" yet. I was constantly looking for things. Normally I love hiking with my dogs. I was just so exhausted getting ready for this trip and I brought way more than I needed. Still not sure why I didn't enjoy...
