I'm getting a cheap 12v fridge & small 150 watt power station soon. Instead of running the fridge off a larger capacity power station that would be tied into a solar panel on my Prius (original plan), I've decided for simplicity, and will instead power the fridge directly through my car's 12v...

Update time. I officially hit the road in Elvis (my new to me 2008 Prius) 2 weeks ago. I had EVERYTHING lined up. Or so I thought lol. The official plan was to use a Thousand Trails membership as a way to beat the system, and camp unlimited (mostly) for the next year. And it can be done! Not by...

I'm not really a straight water drinking fan, though I know I should be, as it's the cheapest, healthiest thing you can put in your body. Rather, I much prefer flavored seltzer & lightly-sweetened iced tea, which makes up about 95% of my liquid intake. Essentially, I'll only be using water for...

I'm waiting for my sim card to arrive from Visible, since I've decided to give their service a shot. I know the whole story: they're owned by Verizon, are an MVNO, etc. I've done my research. All in all, for $25 per month (once I'm in a party plan) to have truly unlimited talk, text & web, in...

I realize that most of the nomads on here don't normally stay at campgrounds, but I'm hoping a few of you might have some know-how on my question, which is... Due to medical issues I have, my balance is very poor. I also cannot stand (comfortably & painlessly) for more than a few minutes at a...

I was originally going to invest in a RinseKit, but the reviews on their units are very spotty, and as they're expensive, I'm not willing to pull the trigger. Sooo... I've decided to go for the KISS principle instead, and save a few bucks to boot. I'll be getting an Ivation water pump/shower...

As the title stated, I have questions regarding both domiciles & car insurance. So I'll break this message into 2 parts... First...after studying up a bit (via Escapees website) on getting domiciled in another state, I'm still a bit confused. Here are my questions... I currently have health...

I recognize that most of the dyed-in-the-wool, longtime nomads on here are mostly clustered out west, but was wondering if any bounce around the northeast at all? As in NJ, PA, NY, DE, etc. If so, as I'll be going full-time by early spring of 2022, I wouldn't mind meeting up with other kindred...

Hey guys, happy new year's eve! Out of an abundance of safety (and my own OCD tendencies, lol), I've researched this topic to DEATH over the last few months. Seems opinions are about split online, in various forums, blogs, etc. So... Is it safe to store propane tanks inside of a vehicle? If...

Yes, I realize most of you already know this --- no breaking news. But INSANE is an understatement!!! I have alerts set up on most of the online marketplaces and classified websites, and I'm LITERALLY contacting sellers within an hour or two of them listing their vehicles, and they're already...

Was looking at the Rogue Pop-up line of truck campers...particularly this model: https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2022-Palomino-The-Rogue-Rogue-Truck-Campers-EB-1-5014469954 Seeking feedback/input on 3 questions I have. Don't laugh, they're DEFINITELY newb questions, but I'm fine with that ...

Spotted this article (link below) online this morning. If the info has already been posted feel free to remove it. 2 young women shot to death while boondocking. I'm sure it must be a very rare occurrence, but just a reminder that there ARE kooks out there, and to always trust your gut and have...

Been on the hunt for a private party Prius for sale on Craigslist for a while now. Almost all of the crooked dealers in my area clog the site with their junky, auction crap inventory, and most of them even stoop so low to make it appear as they're private sellers. Anywho... I FINALLY spotted a...

I know casinos are pretty open to campers, and generally allow for an overnight stay or two, which they usually have special lots for (RV's, pop-ups, trucks, etc.). But what about cars? As a car camper myself, based on your experience, do you'd think they'd allow/designate a car in their camper...

Washington State Supreme Court Rules Homeless Man's Truck is his "Home" Please view the following video on Youtube (link below), as I feel it's not only huge, important news for nomads, but more importantly, it represents a win for individuals who call their vehicle "home". Summary of video: A...

I was soon hoping to take the dive and become a full-time nomad. This comes after a few YEARS of research, when I first found the incredible Bob Wells' videos online. I even officially settled upon a car camper (Prius) as my new home. It's affordable, will fit my needs, and should act as a good...

Hi, all, new guy here with a basic - but important - question. Forgive me if this has been posted in the wrong section, and if so, feel free to move it to the proper location. I will be purchasing a cargo trailer to live in full-time within the next few months, and I'll be outfitting it just...
