While browsing the Forums I came across a discussion on sleeping in a car in cold weather. Rather than highjack that thread I thought I would start a new one covering more aspects than just sleeping in a car. Please remember these are just my experiences and each of us have had different ones...

After giving up the 1977 Van voluntarily to the bank it was financed through  and then buying a 2cd hand PU truck and slide in camper and having it repo'd by the bank it was financed through, we decided to pay cash for everything from then on..  We managed to scrape enough money together to buy...

Take a moment to think back to your "Growing Up" years..  Those years between the ages of 6 and 15. BEFORE you got your first car and discovered the world was larger than your family.  ** What was the favorite food back then and have not eaten since.. maybe a food your Mother made or a...

Ladies think of becoming a full time RV'er or Camper as going swimming.   TEST THE WATER FIRST .... that is, try to either borrow or rent an RV trailer from a friend. Tell them what you are thinking of doing.  Park it in a local RV park for ninety days. Especially do this during the winter...

The brand new 1977 Chevy van was nice but it had monthly payments and did not leave us enough money to actually enjoy life so we got rid of it and bought a 2cd hand Chevy PU. and we bought, paid cash, for a new but cheap cab-over slide-in truck camper that had nothing inside but a hand pump...

wife and I started traveling America in a van we outfitted for camping. it was the start of a wonderful time in our lives. She was just 22 and I was 35.. We left North Carolina and headed west to Spokane.. Wow, what an adventure we had..

Some folks like to take a potted plant with them in their RV when traveling. I have seen everything from Orchids to Roses.. from herbs to pansies.. What kind of plants do you travel with and does your pet get along with the plant ? Being a true southerner, I love grits and eggs in the morning...

Memories A big ol' plate of grits with fried eggs stirred in and Red-Eye gravy drizzled all over it with a humongous pork chop hanging over the edge of the plate... Served up with hot black coffee and southern cornbread smothered in home made butter and watermelon rind preserves from last years...

Some like visiting places that others would never consider going.. Almost every summer between 1973 and 1980 my wife and I made a complete round trip of the USA... about 8000 miles on each trip..  Several times on our Goldwing, one time in our truck camper and a few times in our camper van...

One of my favorite camping memories is of my honeymoon and our first trip to Wall, South Dakota and the world famous Wall Drug Store..  Our first year together we decided to take a tour of America on our new Goldwing motorcycle and used a 6' x 10' piece of blue tarp for a tent.  We were young...

Some Snow Birds like to go as far south as they can... Why not South America for the winter ?  It's fun, although I will admit that rowing the motor home that far can tire you out.  Just remember to seal up all the cracks underneath the motor home with caulking before putting it in the...

Rose and Ziggy, her brother, both retired on Social Security, bought an older motor home in early 1990's and spent the next few years traveling around the west. In 2000 they stopped (Ziggy's pace maker giving him problems) in Carson City at the RV park where I met them. Then three years later...
