Happy Camper, I'm the original poster. Never did I imagine that there would be 600 submissions over the course of a year. The vast majority of posts were IMHO helpful and educational. I do appreciate the continuing great participation. Thank you everyone!

Since my Original Post a short 8+ months ago (and I have read all the many, many posts since) much has changed here and worldwide. It almost would seem unreasonable to post that question today. It's just so sad to see a trajectory spiraling out of proportions. The people who need to survive on...

Aren't you the smart one, maki2. And funny, too....

I started this thread on 1/30/22. As of today you all contibuted 158 replies/insights/thoughts! I am very grateful for every one of them! There seems to be quite a lot of interest in the subject. One small typo correction here if I may (with apologies) - my $700 are from SS, not SSI (which led...

StarryNights, thanks for the detailed breakdown of costs. Best comprehensive account yet!

I am considering purchase of a Max Burton. Please tell me how yours is working out so far. What is the size? Can you share the power use? Thank you very much for any info!

RE: How humans desire a tribal sense of belonging that is missing from modern life----- Being new to the forums (this is my first - and maybe my last - input), I read as much as I can to get valuable info regarding RV living/van living. Awesome info - in large part thanks to Bob Wells. I see...
