Super helpful link and very helpful!! Thanks : )

Hey UptownSport - thanks for this response. I still haven't attempted this and your detailed information is the most helpful and makes me alot less apprehensive about doing it myself. Very much appreciated and I'll keep you posted as I hope to do this in October. And yes the storage you gain...

Wow that's horrible!! I'm glad you came out physically unscathed and thank you for sharing that experience that we can all learn from it....It does make me realize how important it is to stay aware at all times, and now I realize I want to make a "Self Defense Action Plan"... It's really a...

Hi Lmwillie,  Yeah it seems the east coast does not have the wide open spaces where vandwellers and rv'ers congregate as does the southwest or west coast. I don't have my van ready yet but have done some limited research for places in the east. I does seem that free area's tend to be more sparse...

Hi Waldenbound!  I agree it would be great to meet up with other women nomads! Check out Suanne's post on this thread she's facilitated women's groups at the RTR and may be interested in making it more formal if I understand her post correctly.  Sorry to hear about your isolation I can really...

Hi Suanne,  Thank you for writing and for your ideas! It gives me lots of hope that there are likeminded women out here who want to support and empower each other. It's doubtful that I can make it to the RTR this year (3000 miles for me) but I hope if you do the women's RTR that it will become...

Howdy CoachOnTheRoad!  NP I'm just getting back to this forum after a couple weeks. That sounds great!! Would love to hear more about your journey in the ADK's....Are you blogging or youtube or anything? Perhaps down the road you could provide some suggestions or insight's....What kind of van...

Hi Gypsy Clipper!  Thanks for your note sorry I'm seeing it so late. What kind of minivan do you have? I have a 2006 Caravan. Just in the process of collecting repurposed materials to make it a camper. Do you have pictures of your build? I'd love to see how your set up and hear about your...

Hi Tigerlilly - Thanks for writing!  I'm doubtful that I can make it to the RTR in January but I so wish I could!! It's 3000 miles for me...I agree that traveling with a group sounds like a great idea!! I'm hopeful that by next year I can make it happen too : )  Agree on the alone time having...

Howdy!  I previously posted a question and got lots of great information. Now I'm trying to decide between two ideas for my windows:  1. Reflectix with foam backing (painted black)  2. Reflectix with black Gorilla tape backing My primary goals are to keep heat out and privacy for stealth...

Hi Mary Ellen!  Thanks for posting I'm in the northeast as well. I found this group pretty recently and just beginning this journey and don't have my van set up yet. In the process of collecting repurposed materials and hopefully I will get to do some stealth camping / boondocking before the...

I agree with Cammalu and anything explicit / raunchy is definitely not my style and would send me fleeing!

Love the name and I've learned about Towhee's before they are beautiful birds!  On a side note, have you heard of Bower birds who decorate their nests? Google some images if you'd like they are Amazing!!  The RTR is about 3000 miles for me. Hoping to make it this year, if not then next year for...

Hi VanGrrl57 thanks for the note. That sounds like a great support to have especially when first starting out, since there are (at least for me) some fears about safety and getting insight to other women's experience would be really helpful...That's exactly what I was hoping a women's group...

Hi Cammalu - thanks for posting I'm definitely NOT interested in raunchy or over the top either I'd have to flee...LOL... Bob's video's there seems to be lots of down to earth women traveling and vandwelling out there....Hope to see you all at the RTR either this year or next!

Thanks for the welcome note Blanch!

Hi KathyJo - thx for the link I will check it out!  :)

I'm new to the women's forum, and wondered if there are any annual gathering's or events specifically for vandwelling / nomad women?  I also wondered if there are women from the northeast or east coast? Would be great to connect with other women with interest and insight in the nomadic...

Hi Gardenias and welcome! I'm new to the forums as well and just finding my way around. Wishing you the best!

Hi Gary thanks for your post. I just checked out your website and bookmarked it as I think it's going to be a great resource for me so thanks for sharing it!  Yes I'm definitely going with the reflectix. My dliemma is that I want to do stealth camping, so during the day reflectix side / at...
