    Scamp

    At a KOA and a scamp pulls in. beautiful little trailers. Guy was using a Ford Ranger to pull it. Also seen some Aliners and someone from Cali in a huge van. Looks fulltime with the extras. Also on the highway I saw aan ambulance turned RV. That was cool. Wife liked it

    State Fair

    I hate crowds and I always hated going. But my mom gave me free tickets and went on my only day off. It was okay but due to massive increase on prices and sheer ignorance of people, I will never go back. Maybe small town carnivals but not this massive money pit. I wanted to go mainly for...

    Financial Help

    This may be a weird or uneasy topic for some, but I am not one to give money away to strangera. Christmas time Ill always fill the red tubs for Rescue Mission with change or give away old clothes I no longer need. However, after reading the struggles here from many, many members, it makes me...

    Very Humbling Experience

    I would like to first off to apologize to staff and Bob Wells for acting like a child a number of months ago, forgot exactly when. You guys do a great job and I don't know what happened to make me act like a 5 year old. Anyway. So I did some soul searching since I was gone. I even watched Bob...

    KOA camping

    I usually go out about once or twice a year to "camp". By camp I mean rent a cabin. Just made reservations for Sept. They have their appreciation weekend. Stay Fri the 15th and get 16th free. Saves me a bundle. and kids will be back in school. I need my own RV now.

    Buses

    These have peeked my interest a little bit. More room than a van, no doubt about standing up in them. Which is what I need, at only 5'9" it isnt too difficult.  I dont know how old is too old for these though. generally speaking, I see them locally for sub 10k and early 2000s/late 90s. Im not...

    High tech popup

    Growing up, more than 50% of my camping was in a popup. which consisted of lots of canvas. Just searching CL, I see this. Idk how good they are, but that is impressive. I dont want it, but for lightweight..you get a huge living space.  https://syracuse.craigslist.org/rvs/6106417148.html

    Van Prices...Wow!

    So Ive been looking at class bs and wow...do they ever get cheaper? Im not even looking for a full time vehicle. Unless its from the 80s, its $30k or has 150k miles. Is this normal? Ive checked out of state with same results.

    Need To Go

    After reading here for a while, I get inspired. You all show me that it is possible to do whatever I want, regardless of budget. The other RV forum I post on feels too rich, almost fantasy. Too many say "I only have 125k to spend, is this possible?" I never felt like money was important and...

    Turn signal problem

    On my purty little f350, the rear turn signals will not come on. Instead, 4 ways will appear on rear only. Front turn signals work as should. My dash indicates no problems, like a fast blinking turn signal or anything.  From research, this is not worth a $300 diagnostics at a repair shop. I...

    Change Of Heart

    So, with guidance from you guys and others, I was looking at TTs and 5th wheels since I have an F350. But really, that size restricts what Id prefer doing. Setting up each time while may not take a terrible amount of time, would get old fast. Overall length is something I dont want to deal...

    Decisions

    So, I still havent decided which way I want to go. My end goal is to live on the lower end of the spectrum, but not bare bones. I want to live comfortable, not waste all my time working and enjoy life.  My main needs: Room for 5 fur babies Space to add baby stuff to Something with large cargo...

    Strange CL find

    https://syracuse.craigslist.org/rvs/5983468296.html Kindle is slow, so I havent looked it up for price comparison. However 2500 to 3340 still seems very low for a non problem loaded 5th wheel.

    Kia Soul

    I know theres at least one person here that part times out of his Kia Soul. Im just curious what makes this vehicle desirable. Not for living, but ownership of them. Im a truck guy, so theres that. My place if business has at least a dozen of these in the parking lot. Just curious is all.

    Thinking about a Van

    After seeing VanLifeCrisis (?) $800 van conversion, I got to thinking. It wouldnt be my main residence, since I have a wife and 5 fur babies. But, it may be good as a second vehicle. Would double as another bed or own space for living on the road. Just thinking out loud for now. Looking at...

    So Clueless

    New Guy Here!

    Just checking in! Not a vandweller, but will be getting an RV To full time in. Hoping to learn a few things before taking the leap, so I found this place. Looks like I'm a minority here. :D  Thanks for having me.
