    Launched my YouTube Channel!

    Well, I did it... I launched a YouTube Channel. “Chan The Chinook” My first video is up!  I have made a few, as I’m learning, so I’ll release a new one each day until they’re all out there. (There’s 7-8 I think) and then I’ll start making new ones as I head toward the SW desert to begin my...

    Women Only: Pre-WRTR plans?

    I’m back from the conference in New Orleans. I’m heading out, from the Bay Area, on Monday, Nov. 29th toward the Anza Borrego caravan site. Going to take my time and boondock a couple nights on the way down. I’m planning on spending the entire 14 days there - unless I decide to go to Jamie’s...

    Hello!

    If you can’t make it to the van build and need a RV mechinic for solar power stuff in the Bay Area I can fully recommend Greg at San Leandro RV and Trailer. He did all my solar upgrade work and he’s excellent. I’m also heading to the caravan site in Anza Borrego from the Bay Area, going down...

    Women Only: Pre-WRTR plans?

    Sooooo.. I’m adding an addition to my original post.  I’m tired of waiting to go, I need to be out there... I have to attend a conference in NOLA in mid October, when I’m back from that I’m free to roam for a while.  So, I was planning on attending Jamie’s Van Build in November, more to meet...

    Ripped Off at Jones Valley Campground on Shasta Bathtub north of Redding

    That sux! If you’re still in the area check out Trout Creek Campground on the east side of Mt. Shasta, just past McCloud. I love it there and it’s free! You can park right along the creek. There’s bathrooms too. I’m always freaked out that someone is going to break into my little RV. I have it...

    Full time RV living as Type 1 Diabetic

    Excellent idea to use Walmart! I usually try and not shop there for political reasons...  but if I’m living in my Chinook, I might have to cave in and shop there.  Thank you!

    Meet my petz!

    We were at Mossbrae Falls in NorCal. Awesome spot! After you get to the falls, keep walking on tracks over rail bridge, and there’s a natural spring that has carbonated water! We bring maple syrup and flavor it, super good!  Just make sure no train is coming when u cross bridge! Very active tracks!

    My family thinks I must be crazy

    I just got my Chinook last week. I’m getting a ton of work done on it and fixing it up with upgrades etc over the upcoming months. In California you don’t need to register a vehicle for 30days after purchase, but if you drive it you need insurance. RV insurance is cheap. I use Geiko and get the...

    Meet my petz!

    Banjo is my big buddy. He’s 9 1/2 years old. He was born in Cambodia and I brought him to the states when I moved back in 2010. His mom is from the Thai Military dogs and his dad is from Germany. I got him when he was 11 weeks old. He goes everywhere I go. He’s been to 3 countries and 8 states...

    Suggestions on getting Air Shocks on my Chinook

    For that $$$ I’d rather put a Quigley 4x4 kit on it.... although the thought of it dancing through Compton in LA, next to the Lowriders could kick off my upcoming YouTube channel for sure! Haha.
