    Rubber Tramp Rendevous

    Hi. Does anyone know when Bob Wells is having his Q and A session on Wed. Jan. 13 and if is also virtual on the HOWA channel? ALSO, I heard that he was going to be in the area for a meet and greet. Any details on that?

    Greetings from Georgia!

    I am so very sorry to hear that you lost your feline friend. I'm sure that your companion would have made your new life more familiar and comfortable. I do hope that you have good memories to carry with you as you go!

    Best small car without conversion

    Also, it does get good gas mileage. I believe it's around 36 mpg, possibly more.

    Best small car without conversion

    I am brand new at all of this, but when my old vehicle was on its last legs, I decided on a Honda Fit. I now know that the Fit is being discontinued in 2021. They have been made for many years, and there's lots of information about them and parts still available. They may be offered at a very...

    Only have a Sedan. So what about a tent?

    I saw several comments about high winds in the Southwest desert areas, and it is an issue raised in Bob Well's videos as well. Would a motorcycle tent trailer weighing around 300 lbs. stand up to the winds in those areas? I've been looking into them, but I would hate to wake up in another camp...

    Greetings from Georgia!

    Hello, TravelingHof, I've just been dabbling in car camping and working out my mini-RV lifestyle in the last couple of months, but I think I've been inclined that way my whole life. I grew up crossing the country in a station wagon with my large family, and my ears still get cold :), but I am...

    Questions????? Heating, cooking, charging my laptop, WIFI

    My picture didn't post last time, so we'll see if it works this time. If it doesn't show up, would someone please tell me how to attach a photo? I do it on email all the time, but this may be a bit different. Thanks.

    GypsyJan, this is for you! You can soak up a few of the rays from my trip to Key West.

    Questions????? Heating, cooking, charging my laptop, WIFI

    Thanks so much. I will look into some of the things you've said. It's obvious that there's a ton of information in Bob's videos, so I will try to systematically watch any that apply to me or that share what other folks are doing. I love how ready people are to pass on good ideas.

    Hello and keeping clothes neat and presentable

    Hi, girls, I've already posted some things in the Newcomer's corner, but I wanted to touch base with all of you. I am so very excited that there are a lot of women out there on their own, remaining independent but finding friendship and community.  I have a specific question which some of you...

    neatly folding and storing clothes

    One more question, I watched a video of a woman who kept all of her clothes in small, zipped bags. She said that she had learned from another van dweller how to fold and store her clothes in a way that they didn't get wrinkled. Does anyone have any suggestions or know where to learn this...

    New comer, alone, afraid

    Hi, Brandywine, I am new, too. I am not living permanently in my vehicle yet but am starting to experiment with the lifestyle. I thought that I would be doing this with my husband, too, but he had other plans. I understand grief and anxiety, and I do hope and pray that you find all of the...

    Questions????? Heating, cooking, charging my laptop, WIFI

    Hi, all, Well, I ran away from home again over Thanksgiving since we are under a stay at home advisory where I live and families weren't supposed to meet. I figured that I could at least enjoy some warm weather and do some exploring by myself before the New Year, so I took off for Florida and...

    Honda Fit as my new mini-RV

    Hi, Zephyr, I have a brand new Fit, and when I bought it, I checked into the towing capacity and was told no more than 850 lbs. total, as well. I think that some people with older Fits have towed more than that (because the car can do that) and Honda decided to protect the company's interests by...

    Honda Fit as my new mini-RV

    Yes. My old mini-van was starting to have some problems, and I was looking into what I could afford that might allow me to live in it as well as drive it. I was really impressed with what can be done with the seats in the Fit, and I am having an interesting (perhaps I won't go straight to fun)...

    Honda Fit as my new mini-RV

    I just checked out the Wee Roll website. It was fun to look through. I have often looked at utility trailers and thought about what could be done with them, so this product is just what I had been wishing for. Thank you for sharing.

    Honda Fit as my new mini-RV

    The links that you shared are interesting and helpful. Thanks! I especially enjoy reading about and learning from people who are creative and don't have everything store bought and expensive. I have never had a lot of money, but I have always been impressed by people's ingenuity, and I have...
