Before I get myself in trouble I wanted to double-check.  Reading a thread today in Women's Only Forum called "After my failure I am trying again," I noticed a man had posted on the thread on 10/10/19. There is no question it's a man, he identifies as a man. The rules plainly state no men may...

Hello all! Nancy and I are settled in for the season in Quartzsite. We see other women vandwellers/nomads around but because of past experiences that didn't go so well, we've reigned in our boundaries a bit. I used to run over to every female nomad I saw, and give out my phone humber. Lessons...

I wrote a book! Pinch me! The name of the book is -  Wild Women On The Road: A Women's Guide To Nomadic Freedom In The Modern Age, and it can be found on Amazon for 2.99 (ebook) and 6.99 (Paperback.) As a female nomad on the road, I am just in awe of the women I meet out here! From the...

Ok. I can not find this answer anywhere and I’ve been looking for over a year, asking fellow nomads, etc. I am on Social Security Disabilty. There is a FEDERAL program that pays the monthly premium and drug costs... administered by the STATE you live in. (NOT supplemental insurance) I’m...

I just traveled from NY state to AZ on my own, except for the last leg of the trip from Williams to AZ from where I had a traveling buddy, another solo female vandweller. I'm in Quartzsite now for the season. It's been a journey! Would love to meet up with other like minded female...

Called and got permission to overnight park in an Oklahoma City Walmart, was rousted by an unfriendly security guard after settling into bed. I told him I had permission, but he wasn't having it. This is my first "big" trip, from NY to AZ, sleeping in Walmarts or Cracker Barrels, using the...

I'm a newbie, just started out this summer and spent June - current camping in the Adirondacks out of my converted mini-van. I think I'm ready for more! Getting the routine down and feeling more confident and having more fun as the weeks go by.  I'm planning to head West from NY State late...

Hello All! I wasn't sure where to post so here it goes. I'm 29 days out in my 2005 Chevy Uplander Mini-Van. It's a simple conversion, with a bed and some shelves and a plywood floor, the rest is bins and other organization. The first four days out I was DOWN. I wasn't sure I could do it. I...

Hello everyone! Last year I bought a 2005 Chevy Uplander Minivan with the intent of doing a very simple conversion to get on the road this Spring. I just launched and will be sharing my story on a different thread. Let's just say, challenging! My son-in-law built a bed and shelves, and neither...

Newbie here, launching in my mini-van in a few weeks.  How do you store bottles of propane and butane safely inside a van? Are they safe to keep inside the van, specifically if you're off on a hike or sightseeing and the van is closed up in hot weather? Seems like the heat inside the closed van...

I'm doing a simple conversion on a 2005 Chevy Uplander MiniVan with the help of my awesome son-in-law. We're getting ready to build the bed and some simple storage/shelving, similar to what Bob built in the Astro Mini-Van, (under Van Conversions in the menu) and I'm stuck on the plywood...

Hello everyone! I'm close to my dream of traveling and living in my Minivan, The Green Beastie, a 2005 Chevy Uplander. I've been dreaming about a mobile lifestyle for years, of course following the gurus like Bob and researching endlessly, and the past year the dream finally started manifesting...
