    City boondocking...?

    Thank you!

    City boondocking...?

    Springfield MO. I agree about the advice, and am grateful. I would have to add that I got my first "knock" at the 24 hr gym. The businesses sent security after me, convinced I was spending the night. I wasn't. I've boondocked over the 1 1/2 years I've had my camper van. This town "feels"...

    City boondocking...?

    I am currently in the MW, having missed the seasonal winter work due to family issues. I was boondocking at my son's, but the neighbor pulled property line "rank" and I had to move. I have now been behind his work, a strip mall, for two weeks. His boss is a generous soul, but this can't go on...

    Do I really need to tint the windows?

    Truth be told... I had tried to look up the local laws, but some sites are easier than others to navigate. And there is the level of legalese to read. Sigh. Thank you!

    Considering Work Canmping in Alaska... What a drive!?!

    I am considering taking job up by the Kenai Fjord. I have always wanted to go and see Alaska's natural beauty and being new to the whole FT RV things, getting paid to be in a place of beauty seems like a good way to go. I have an interview tomorrow (wed 2.9) an I would love to have feedback on...

    Do I really need to tint the windows?

    I want to cover my Reflectix with fabric. Hadn't thought of shelving paper. My issue is that I have to be in a city for a few months+/- and Reflectix "screams" stealth camping. I was at my daughter's for the holidays, staying inside do to the cold, and got a "notice to impound". I am a Class B...

    Experience with a Berkey Water Filter System

    I literally buckle mine in. I have the travel size. I travel alone, so my passenger seat holds my tank. I just make sure that it is less than half full incase of splashing issues. 😀

    Dumping Waste, Bags or Composting Waste

    Again, thank you for your clarity. I had decided about the "carry" but pondered the discretion side of it.

    ✅ Are you urban stealth camping in your TALL Transit, Promaster or Sprinter?

    I like the distiction: "my goal is not to be stealth, my goal is not to be a nuisance." Thank you.

    ✅ Are you urban stealth camping in your TALL Transit, Promaster or Sprinter?

    I have a Class B camper van and am still new to this way of life (Sept '21). When I bought the van and had to stealth while settling up property issues before I took off, I parked at my daughter's apartment complex for 2+ months. Since I moved it often, did not camp in it during the day (I was...

    ✅ Are you urban stealth camping in your TALL Transit, Promaster or Sprinter?

    I have been afraid of residential areas and more inclined to pick apartment complexes for this reason: the greater number of people means less interest in who's parking where. Residents would take a greater interest in the lone van due to home security issues? I would love to hear your...

    Dumping Waste, Bags or Composting Waste

    Went online and found this: https://www.amazon.com/Cleanwaste-Large-Powder-Waste-Treatment/dp/B000SOJRXE Seems a bit pricey. How long does it last, and do you need the full scoop? I don't see the point of using it on the liquid portion, unless I don't have access to a place to safely dispose of...

    Dumping Waste, Bags or Composting Waste

    Bless you for your clarity. I have been staying with my daughter due to holidays, then unexpected van issues... I had gotten so stressed about waste disposal that I have been delaying my exit from normal back to van living. One other question... The liquid. Collect in a larger container and...

    Dumping Waste, Bags or Composting Waste

    Being female, I'm concerned about the "separation of church and state" while seated. ;-) I know I have read that it is easy to learn to control such things, but I would love to hear from other females that use these things and have successfully separated while sitting? Thanks!

    Dumping Waste, Bags or Composting Waste

    I used cat litter. Five gallon bucket, hefty bag (obviously), and a good quality, (scented) natural cat litter does me for about 48 hours. I am real picky about smells, even when I had a sticks and bricks, so the odor issue was big for me. I am in a Class B Camper Van (19+) and my actual black...
