    Women Only Hi All, long time no see, but..

    ..some things have happened in my life I want to share with other women, probably some of the men eventually. I lost all hope in going on the road I guess it's been two summers ago. I was up our Smith River camped next to @abnorm and sweet P as don't want to screw up and use her name without...

    Feedback on "work from home" jobs..

    ..that some of you may have info on. I've got a lot of computer skills I could be using on a Data Entry "remote" job and I figure it's time I put them to the test. I'm still sick of living like I am and a lot of depression not having enough to do. I'm not the creative type so I need a real...

    Everything on hold for this Wanna-be Nomad

    had to call ambulance for the first time in my life, up camping. Doug & Paulette helped me as i had the whole, left side of my body go numb. I was so scared. So EMTs came first, they were nearby (36 miles up river is where we were in dispersed camping) then ambulance. I had 2 CAT scans an EKG...

    Easy Coffee drinks??

    I've had to cut back my caffeine but like to have one, nice, hot drink, maybe 2 if I keep the caffeine to a minimum.  I'm trying to figure out something that would be easy to fix/brew in the tiny camper I'll have on my truck. Does anyone else out there like something a little fancy and if so...

    Mail-service & Physical Residence in Pahrump NV sounds good!

    Hi all, Anyone besides Bob (if he is still using Nevada) using Pahrump as their Home-State?  I think I will be choosing Nevada as it has everything I need although, I would have to make sure before I made my choice.  It's closer to where I would hope to be staying in Winter and possibly...

    Home Address, Home State for you Fulltime Women??

    This is a must for me to know and get rolling as soon as I can.  What have you gals that are full-timers found to use for a home-State, driver's license, mailing address etc.?  I mean women like myself that have no home to go back to, and no family to go back to? No family or friend to use as a...

    Never saw one of these mattresses for a car, or other..

    ..vehicle.  I don't know what we could use to extend the seat (so to speak) but seems like something could be built in for someone in a car: https://www.zulily.com/search?q=car+air+mattress&fromSearch=true Amazon or walmart might have similar, I never bought anything from that website, my...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    This feels so hard to talk about but I keep hitting road-blocks, in my mind, because I am a woman alone.  I do fine living in an apartment where all the major maintenance is done by hired men.  I'm sure there are maintenance women out there as well.  I want the skills to build my own Camper, to...

    **** baking in my Conventional oven for..

    ..on the road if I have the room! I didn't think a thing about it, and here in my apartment I usually "bake" in my electric range.  But I do like to warm leftovers with the CO.  It works great and I am looking at **** snacks, but didn't know how I'd do them out of a camper ;) Does anyone bake...

    Downsizing from 1 br apt. to 6'x4" Truck bed/camper

    I got to meet Doug and Paulette, and am so happy I finally went up to meet them.  Can't say enough about how comfortable I felt around them.  It was a little hard to go, too long in one place, same people every day.  Refreshing to meet folks though, that are doing something with their lives. ...

    learning more about what I want..and how to accomplish it..

    ..from Bob's Blog.  I am learning more and more about what I want to do thank goodness, and how I want to do it.  At first I didn't know what else to do but keep asking about things, but I am realizing there is such a wealth of knowledge about being a Nomad, right here on Bob's Blog, and I also...

    New direction, again, in my quest to be at least, a snow-bird

    I had a thread where I'm trying to get a loan for a used Van, but now rethinking just using my truck.  I haven't heard whether or not I could get the loan so working out another option (plan B).  Put up an ad to look for a space/garage to do some building (easy stuff I could handle) and fixing...

    I need help with getting a loan..

    ..for a Van. I am considered low-income, but have a good credit rating, 748 I think is in the good range.  I know a lot is takin into consideration, but I am wondering if I should divulge that I plan my Van to be my full-time home?  That would allow them to see that my rent will go away (half...

    I applied for a car-loan, with no vehicle chosen yet..

    .. but gave amount I thought I might need for a Van.  I wanted to ask folks about the sort of mileage is acceptable, but I also realize it's maybe more important to see what my first impression is of how it's been taken care of, then, have my auto-mechanics look at it. One for 10,000 I could...

    68/Female hoping to meet someone..

    ..here at CRV.  I am not a Nomad, just a wanna be, but after thinking about being a full-timer, I don't care to do it alone.  I would like to meet a man my age, or very close to, that is either a Nomad, or wanna be, like myself.  I have been divorced over 20 years so you can imagine I am pretty...

    Camping in State and Natl. Park Rates higher for out-of-State

    How does being a Nomad affect your rental history..

    ..if you already have very good rental history when you start living on the road?  I'm asking because of the obvious question, what if it doesn't work out on the road, and you need to look and apply for rental housing, or even buying a home?  Also, if you have good credit, and continued to pay...

    Looking at new tire types and costs..

    ..for my 94 Mazda Pickup, and found a difference of $30 dollars less between my, local Les Schwab (CA, hah!), and Pahrump NV's Walmart, same, exact tire.  I wanted to look at that because I am shooting for a stay in AZ in the Fall and figure my tires I have will get me to Pahrump, and further...

    Mimmie and her foods

    I have a hard time, even in this apartment, feeding Mimmie dog food that she isn't that fond of, and I get her the best I can with nutrients for her too because I'm a health nut for both of us.  If we go out camping, or full-timing, she will be smelling the cooking even more, that I do, and it...

    Truck-camper-shell Computer setups

    I'd love to hear from folks that are camping/living in small, camper-shell spaces, that maybe have convenient (as we can get) ways of setting up space for a laptop to sit at, or even a desktop Monitior.  I have a Desktop Gaming PC, but the tower is one of the large types so I don't plan on...
