    What Qualifies as a "Reliable" Class C?

    Thanks for the link to the van/cargo van conversion, this looks like the way to go!'

    2500 v 3500? and what about a cargo trailer???

    Actually most of the meals I prep can be heated in a pot of boiling water or the RoadPfro oven: I vacuum seal some meals in bags that can easily be reheated in a pot of boiling water on a Coleman; I also found these food storage pans on amazon that fit perfectly in the RoadPro oven. As far as...

    2500 v 3500? and what about a cargo trailer???

    When I cooking outside, I'll be canning or prepping meals to freeze. I'll have a microwave and toaster oven, inside for prepared meals during bad weather..

    2500 v 3500? and what about a cargo trailer???

    I'm leaning toward the 3500/6.0. Depends on what is readily available when it comes time to buy. The mileage isn't that much difference for me to worry about, and I'll never be cranking along at 70 mph! I stay off the interstates and hit the back roads.

    2500 v 3500? and what about a cargo trailer???

    I'm not going to buy until I pay off my credit cards and current car note; hopefully about 4 years from now. My plan is to buy used, something 5 years max with low mileage. My credit is good and I can finance while still employed, with the plan to pay off note when the house is sold.

    2500 v 3500? and what about a cargo trailer???

    I’ve posted on here several times. I’m 3-5 years out from getting out of debt, and about 7-9 years to retiring with a minimum pension. Trying to keep my house is very likely out of the question due to high monthly mortgage (from high taxes and insurance); so, I’m planning on hitting the road to...

    Planning for full-timing: Financing vs debt free

    My initial thought was to pay cash ($10K max) for a fixer-upper Class C to live in full-time, and restore/repair as funds became available; however, after reading several posts about how much extra cash is often required to get a bargain fixer-upper road ready for full-timing, I’ve having second...

    Best engine/chassis combo for diy mechanic?

    After much consideration, I've decided to go with a Class C. I'm on a budget and am beginning to look for an older fixer upper. I'm not a total gear head, but consider myself fairly handy and a decent shade tree mechanic. I've managed to get my 1995 Jeep GC to 237K miles and still passing...

    Why Class A?

    I’ve been lurking here for over a year; this is my first post. I’m in the dreaming, scheming, planning phase of becoming a full timer. I can retire in 10 years with a meager pension; working on getting out of debt now to make my limited funds go further towards my nomad life. Last summer we...
