I paid about $3000 for an acre of open desert in Apache Co. where camping on one's land full time is allowed. This is what I paid for 2 years ago. A compatible lot will cost more in reality now. My current hurdle is how to get a domicile when my land has a warranty deed registered with the...

I should clarify.I'm looking for ways to meet people in similar situations to mine, except without having previously invested $3K in an acre of such low-value land in a location that allows such unlimited camping on one's own land. Not sure I could afford the gas to go Nomad, as I count on...

No street addresses in this piece of the desert. If I got a building permit, I would get a 911 address, but that would be stated in some rural addressing system foreign to anything that requested an address. Might as well enter my GPS coordinates in the middle of my land. Lots of RV homesites...

I'm currently living in my van on my own land in Apache County, AZ, where I have some expectation of permanency of my private campsite. I am way out in the country, with almost a 20 mile drive to the nearest small town. My parcel of land is 1.04 acres big and has room for a campmate or two...

Well, after all these years, I've recently gone from working for the man to living in a van. Living and working in Nashville just got to be one major stressor, especially with my decade-older roommate whose spare bedroom I was renting was slipping off into some form of dementia and his daughter...

When I lived in a hotel, the bank didn't let me access my money through them with a hotel address. But a Tennessee drivers' license I had already gotten in compliance to RealID laws, employment, health insurance through my employer, liability insurance on a car and a prepaid debit card allowed...

Having hotel-dwelled at different times since the laws went insane post 9-11, I found that banks didn't want to take hotel addresses, but I could get a prepaid debit card that worked similar to a checking account with additional costs.  And that liability insurance on vehicles accepted those...

In Tennessee, it costs the fee of a duplicate license to get a change of address listed on your physical card.  However, you can even change the address online and it will generate a printable receipt of the change, which I printed out, folded up and carried in my wallet along with my ID card...

The most promising idea I've yet found for an address while full-timing would be to get a UPS mailbox at a UPS Store location.  However, I recall that once in the mid 00's I took up residence in a skeezy hotel and when I transferred my bank account to that address my bank froze up my account...

Definitely a low-budget deal. I'll probably end up with something from the 1970s and have the engine and transmission rebuilt, after which I can mostly work on the vehicle myself and learn how to refurbish and keep up the RV specific systems. Nothing fancy for me. Any campgrounds for which...

I turn 56 next month, working a job that is eroding my physical health, making for a faster pace than aging alone.  I'm considering getting on 70% Social Security at age 62 and looking for a part-time job to pay for health insurance for the next 3 years. In order to live on that, I have 6 years...
