I do some seamstress work too. It is rather exciting to see another sewer. I'm not out on the road yet, but I am planning on taking my machines. It nice to read your thread.   :)

I think I'm having a problem with NON-buyers remorse. I keep hearing Bob's voice telling us to work with what we have and build from there (not verbatim, but the voices in my head sometimes make up stuff ... hehe ... JUST KIDDING).  I think I may have run away from that van too quickly. I have...

$20,000.

Thank you all for responding. It kinda lets me know that I'm not just talking to myself... I have friends that understand my desire to get on the road. My family is already being "scared" that I am going to "do this fantasy". I was a Carny before I had kids and loved living on the road. I have...

"So that's us.  Organic free range human beings.  Not someone else's problem to solve. " I am lucky enough to have a son to put me up while I'm mending and planning for my next adventure. I love what you said about being "organic free range" and "not someone elses problem". That seems to say in...

Well, I did not get the van. My head hit the ceiling when I stood up and there had been something screwed into the floor in several places, all the way through the floor. I could see the road underneath. I saw that and he said that I could fill those in. I mentioned rust and he said that the...

I'll be watching these threads. I am going to look at a van on Tuesday and already have a floor plan figured out. I had been thinking of selling my furniture, BUT, you have given me the idea to USE my furniture. It's not fancy stuff but it is strong. Thanks, maybe we will see each other out and...

Thank you guys. I am retired and ready to run away from home. The van has a high top, and, thank you for the info. Since I don't see it until Tuesday (Memorial Day weekend), I'm trying not to get my hopes up or down until then (but I have started designing it, no matter what van I get). I'll add...

Next Tuesday I am going to look at a 2012 Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Extended 6 Speed Automatic. I am about a year behind my planned schedule of traveling, but I am almost there (ish). Does anyone know what I should be looking at when it comes to this van? Here are the stats: Miles - 15,956; ...

Ahoy fellow Newbie.  :)

:P   I'm somewhere between a Border Collie and a Bulldog. I may be slow, but I DO figure it out given enough time. I just hope I live long enough. I am aiming for 102. That day, I'll finally have life figured out and I will keel over. LOL

Intelligence = the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.  Knowledge and skills are a set of learned behaviors and information. I can vouch for the fact that many childhood information and behaviors CAN be relearned, and behaviors are modified almost daily as we grow and experience...

I know what you mean about family. My sons and grandchildren are all I care to visit. None from my past. They haven't changed in all these years. PTSD is not something that is easily noticed "at home". We HAVE gone through our own "war", and (as children that were confined to that life)...

Hello Gypsy Woman. I am from Southwest Florida (Lee County). I plan on being on the road in a year. Maybe one day we will meet at an RTR and have some biscuits and gravy together.    :)

I'm a Newbie too and we seem to be starting at a good time, with many mentors. Soon we will be living the adventures.  :)

Another plot twist. I am unable to attain a working vehicle or trailer. I have -0- credit (If I can't buy it outright, I don't need it mindset), and what I need is more money than I have. I can make small payments, with my car as collateral and a small deposit. It's getting frustrating, but, my...

Welcome Jim. Loss is a process and, in my opinion, the traveling and getting back to nature are very soothing ways to help grow through it. Sounds like you are answering your needs. Welcome to the planet that engulfs us all.

Welcome Peg. We are in this together. We are both disabled elderly prepping to go on the road like Hippy Adventurers. We can do this with style.   :D

Thank you StrayCatt. It seems to be a fitting situation. I just have to stay calm. It's kinda like when I was ready to give birth to my first child. I was in labor and I panicked about the changes and unknown and stuff. Then, the baby came and my world opened up to a whole new, wonderful world...

Thanks for the heads up Bullfrog. I will add that to my list of needs. I'm going tomorrow, to the dealership.
