    Pleasure way? Tofino?

    I always said I’d never go without a shower in my van but I really am comfortable with this van. The size is perfect for me. I love everything about it but that lack of shower. I have oily hair and skin and I sweat a lot. Way lot. And I’m a neat freak. I have to shower daily and wash my hair...

    Methylene chloride

    Is a chemical used in among other things paint strippers. I hadn’t used it for several years and when I went to buy it I was told it is now illegal. There is one shop that was grandfathered in but I can strip the paint myself and save $400.  Does anyone know if this is across the country or just...

    Rattle snakes

    We have rattle snakes in our parks and on our trails. There are 4 million people here and someone posted on a local website that her dog got bitten by a baby rattler (the dog was big) and there were exactly four places with anti-venom. So please if you’re in the Southwest particularly the desert...

    It’s still cool in California

    And will stay so until July (along the coast)But wow did the temps rise in Quartzite. I know this was asked but it was a while back. Where are people staying during the heat? The answer is always Flagstaff but are there campgrounds or BLM land? Where do you stay? The abusive situation that...

    Wanted to share this artisan

    Ugh. Sorry DesertDude I posted this in the wrong spot. Could you move it somewhere? Thanks! My fantasy would be a Vardo (since two of my grandparents were Romanian and I’m psychic and a medium I like to imagine I have some Gypsy blood and would love a vardo to travel and do inexpensive...

    Can I just say this about Bob?

    Please don’t bicker, argue or disagree I just want to post for the newer people that I am not part of the Cult of Bob. I disagree with a lot of his philosophy and everything else. I don’t even like his beard. LOL But I couldn’t care less about his philosophy or what he does with his money or...

    New Mexico State Parks

    Why do I never seen anything about the NM State Parks on here? It’s only a $225. pass under 65.  Everything is about Quartzite. I have heard it’s hard to get a space in New Mexico, is that the problem? Is that true? It’s the showers that appeal to me in a car. They look spotless in videos. I...

    Doing it. Need help with storage places

    I can’t do this anymore. I’m worried about my dog, she hates her little spot which maybe bigger. The carpenter promised he would start my car in March. I found a nice buildout but they aren’t doing them anymore or on my Honda. So this guy will do it and for a fair price. I also need tires. The...

    Opinions

    I’ve been looking for a year for a Class B that’s safe and in decent condition. They get snagged up right away. Of course anything I consider I will have checked  out by an RV mechanic. I found a 1990 Coachman. I believe it is the original owner. It’s the first RV I’ve with plates that start...

    Washing machines

    Anyone tried those little portable washing machines? Any good? I hate washing by hand and I’m not strong enough to properly wring out my clothes. Plus I waste a lot of water handwashing- hard water.  I don’t have enough clothes to go to a laundromat which I do anyway but I’d buy one of those...

    Craft shows on the road

    I know people on here have Etsy shops. I had one almost 6 years and am tired of it especially after losing my store in a fire. But I was wondering if any nomads followed craft shows and sold there for extra income. There’s a woman with a YouTube channel who does that. I knit and I’m a...

    Midwest passage? Anyone know them?

    Hey, They look to be a professional van build out company that’s been around since 2001 before the craze. I saw a couple of beautiful barely used Class Bs that were as professional as any major company with a huge bathroom and all the tech stuff. I mean everything you could want for the same...

    Women Only - Hints on good stuff/bargains

    Hey everyone  We usually have a cold rainy June and it’s already hot so I’m sure it’s going to be HOT this summer. Yesterday I found exactly what I’ve been looking for forever. An enormous gigantic sun hat for $2.49. At the 99 store. I love my Walmart folding mattress even if it wasn’t cheap...

    Did you make bad choices? What’s your story?

    Someone posted on here that those of us in cars etc had made bad choices. I certainly didn’t. I am writing this with with love and compassion so please don’t argue and get it taken down. I’d like to hear your stories. Is this a choice or did something happen? I watch a lot of Bob’s videos and...

    Anyone looking for a 35 lb companion?

    Shelters are closed in Los Angeles and people are dumping their dogs in parking lots, on streets everywhere. Usually we are able rehome them but someone dumped a little Pittie (Pit Bull) Brindle with a white chest in a parking lot in the heat. He’s adorable between 35-40 lbs. Sweetheart but...

    Anyone familiar with the Libero class B?

    Is it decent? No idea what I’m doing and no one to help. Any suggestions. Yes would have it checked. Wonder why a 2016 is only $59,000 with low miles.

    Off-topic fantasy post

    Since this is the off-topic section I hope I won’t be deleted. I am engaged in a bit of fantasy as I sit in my cold car and study my Norwegian, read, meditate and knit. When I turn 59 ( but probably won’t touch it unless the money is back) I can tap into my lifelong retirement savings. At 63 I...

    Shelter dogs

    Since nomads are the kindest people as a group I know I’ll pass along what I read that shelters are desperate to have people foster animals for the duration of this virus. You might not have the room or the finances ( I don’t) but if you do please consider. I know my local shelter secretly...

    RVers Please stop

    If I ever leave my car and don’t move into a house or apartment then I would buy a Class B and continue stealth. Where I live in Los Angeles people are starting to get really angry. We have certain major streets that have been settled by RVers. Why do you group together? People are running...
