    Choose only one to have: house or car

    I recently moved from a newer small car to a older conversion van using the same criteria. Lol Definitely would choose a car over a house. I've only been on the road for a short time compared to others. I didn't know "driveability" would even be on my top priorities until I did it. Some days...

    Newbie heading to RTRs as Volunteer

    Ken From Anaheim: When I had large nylon tent the wind noise drove me crazy. I used the screwend stakes but still had trouble in winds 30+ which there often are in the desert. I WISH I had a minivan as well. I'm near Flagstaff and there was a fire about 100 yards away from my camp. Firefighters...

    Newbie heading to RTRs as Volunteer

    It has been a wild ride since RTRs. Best and worst times of my life. Now I'm a tent dweller. I bought a fab Springbar tent. I'd love to communicate with other tent dwellers but not sure how. Different needs and reqs than RVers and vehicle dwellers. Near Flagstaff now. Teresa Olddesertgal

    Newbie heading to RTRs as Volunteer

    After RTRs: I feel like my mother sent me out the door with a "Go play!" and I heard the snick of the lock behind me. I stare at the vastness of my 'yard' and experience the fear of freedom. I'm a poetic mf. Lol

    Sleeping in a 2008 hyundai accent

    2016 Chevy Sonic here! I used the 60% portion of the backseat. Put backseat down, build a platform in trunk that meets the lowered seatback height. Voila! Feet in trunk, head in car. Need a good mattress too. Teresa Fair winds and let's roam!

    A question more uncomfortable than "Where do you go to the bathroom?"

    I'll b fulltime in 44 days. I'm 64 and I've thought about that question and the other "what if I get sick". Thanks to all that posted on the subject. I won't have anyone to notify that cares and I've signed my body over to science. I think I'm of the "let me rot" thread.

    44 days till no sticks and bricks

    Hello! I will be giving up my "house" in just over a month. I have a car and camping equipment and thanks to other knowledgeable travelers I have rigged a bed in my car where I can lie flat. I only have a Chevy Sonic so storage is def at a premium. I'll be boondocking around my home area (Joshua...
