Hi Abigail, I travel with my 5 yr old rescue cat in a high top camper van. My cat was a city cat so he was familiar to being indoors with a lot of different outside noices, that is, from sirens and people. I taught my cat to travel with me in stages: Vet appt, 1 hr stops then 3 hrs ect. He never...

Hi 69, I'm glad you're here. There are many people living the van life who like to share their ideas come here so you're in good company. My van, Betsy Santori, are ready to go. Hope our paths cross. Be save! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Thank you for the advise. We thought it couldn't be difficult but it was an electrical thing and thought to ask. Cheers Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, we are converting a 2002 chevy express passenger van to a camper van. It came with a 13" tv and a 400w inverter installed in the front, upper shelf. We've searched YT but so far no step by step videos to remove it. Is it easy? We do not have electrical experience but willing to try...

I'm really glad to see this topic. It seems there are some Americans who think God Guns and Nationalism is what makes our country great. It is further than the facts. I use to be a world missionary(for 20 yrs) through an evangelical faith based church. I was born to a Baptist father and a...

Thank you abnorm. I too am a vandweller with a 6 yr old cat. Every part of vandwelling planning was working around my cat's safety and comfort. I also have a pet stroller and an animal habitat which both fold and pack very well. Plus, he loves them. His first 5 yrs of life were indoors until I...

Ahhhhhh, what a shame this is cancelled, but I do understand the emergency to keep public activities safe for all. We know this virus is serious and it will not go away, but we can slow it down if we are smart and listen to expert infectious disease doctors - obvious, our administration is not...

Sounds like a great idea. I'm a newbie too, sorta kinda and I live in Illinois. I'm interested in meeting up with midwest people and possibly find others to drive outwest. I'll keep my eyes on this post and see how it turns out. My friend drove a Prius out west and into Alaska then back to...

I'd like to know what's happening with this groups events and meet ups but I do not use facebook. Are there other ways to get info from this group besides facebook? Cheers!

This looks like something I might meet up with others from here. Maybe as we get closer to the date I'll find more people wanting to join. I'm coming from southern Illinois and doing a trip westbound. I'll put this on the calendar and make plans. Thanks for this post.

I have a 6 yr old cat. He has a chip and all paws have nails. I am now training him with the leach. Allowing him to sniff it and letting me click it on his collar. My vet gave me some relaxing pills for him so I can put his harness on. Hes a big cat so it's not easy for me to put the harness on...

The first time I went on the road I met a fellow van dweller. After a long silence I asked him a question about the car shop we both were at. He kindly shared his experiences from the mechanics works. He expressed himself a full time dweller. I asked, "I'm very new to road traveling in my new...

Thanks for the stories and suggestions. I better find something for ventilation because I dont use anything now. So far, I havn't had a problem. I've been so focused on preventing mold in my van ever since I watched a video of a young guy constracting a serious infection from a moldy mattress in...

Cheers everybody, I have a question concerning the prevention of mold with my Sealy foam mattress in my van. Right now it lays on a 3/4" plywood a out 14" off the floor. What have others done to prevent mold happening with the mattress? Put something on the plywood between it and the mattress...

Welcome! If you have never been to the States, then you are in for an adventure! If you have, realized how different the US is compared to France/Europe. Many of us may not even know what the rest of our own country looks like even being born here! I have been fortunate to live in Germany and...

Thank you for the link. My misunderstanding. I thought there was a "joining" process or requirement, like several FB pages. Cheers!

Hello vandwellers and other adventurers. Where can I find the womens only forum? Im using the Tapatalk app to be on this forum, but with navigating the site I don't see where to join. Thank you for the help. Cheers!

Looks good, qinomad. Having the insulation already in is a major plus. Good luck with your next step in making this your home. Cheers!

Hi qinomad, Welcome to the forum. I'm in the midwest too. I'm in Illinois, so I know what you mean by rusty vans! I've been seeking a campervan for the last 6 months. The winter has been hard for me to ck Van's out and there was a very small market. I'm using craigslist, camper dealers and...

Hi souliberty and welcome, You have a great story. When you shared your age, I had to reflect on my own story at 25 yo. I too, made a huge leap to travel, solo. Although my parents were not satisfied on my decision, I went for my dreams to the fullest. Was it easy? Not all the time, but I have...
