Still looking for a spare driveway or backyard for a very, very modest rent.  I'm currently located in San Marcos, Texas, and still working on converting my trailer while parked in parking lots. Any volunteers?  Thanks!

My plan is to leave Miami, Florida, and pick up my trailer in Georgia on April 18th, then head to Texas.  Unfortunately, I don't have a safe place to park and work on the cargo trailer by day and sleep in at night.  I'm looking for a parking location in the southeast along the route between...

I'm buying a cargo trailer, and I intend to convert it into a camper so that I can live on the cheap while I get back on my feet financially.  While I already own many of the tools I need to do the conversion, I don't have a safe place to park and work on the trailer by day and sleep at night. ...

@bonnieE350van, thanks!  Excellent info.  Very informative. Which auto insurance company are you insured with?  (So I don't fall into the same trap when I switch to an auto insurance company in Texas.)

That's what I thought:  I need to pay for the escapees' (or someone else's) mailing services for my residential mail until I can rent a parking spot in Texas and use that address.  Thanks, Brian.

>I can’t imagine that huge of a jump To get started, there's a $50 enrollment fee, plus the $50 postage deposit, plus the $115 annual fee.  You can save $20 on the annual fee if you're willing to let them forward all your junk mail to you, but that'll probably eat up more than $20 a year in...

@Cammalu, thanks.  I already checked out the escapees a few months ago.  $215 is outside of my budget at this time.  I have some savings, but I still have to buy and convert my trailer into a camper, so that I can live in it. @highdesertranger, thanks.  Good to know.  Right now, I have...

Hi! You may be able to get started as a nomad without much money by teaming up with another nomad who has the funds, wants to start their adventure, yet doesn't want to do it solo.  You could be a good companion and perhaps share the driving on long trips, share funny stories, cook your...

Thanks, all, for the advice. @ckelly78z, I've looked into the P.O. box solution and found that the Texas Dept. of Public Safety won't allow P.O. boxes for the driver's license address. (https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/18/drivers-license-addresses-no-longer-help-police/). Looks like I...

Hi, folks! I joined this forum to meet new friends who are like-minded nomads who can give me some advice and guidance.  I'm buying a cargo trailer, and I intend to convert it into a camper so that I can live on the cheap while I get back on my feet financially.  While I already own many of the...
