    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    <p>&nbsp;I like where I live.&nbsp; Sorry your place was a piece of crap, Bryce, mine isn't.&nbsp; And I enjoy my memories, Stargazer, but I'm not living in the past.<br><br>I'm convinced now.&nbsp; I'm not walking away, I'm not starting a new life.&nbsp; I guess I never fully appreciated the...

    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    It could happen to my trailer court someday, maybe soon, where the word comes "everybody out" because we are on a nice little river with a huge apartment complex next door with boat slips and expensive homes on the other side of the river.&nbsp; The big bucks would be too much to resist.&nbsp...

    The "Space" trailer...possibilities?

    "Cool trailer. You could probably pull that behind a Prius." Exactly, which is exactly what vantexan intended to do in a thread on the "Introduce Yourself" forum: "Hi everyone, Glad to have found this forum! I guess there really is a forum for about anything on the 'net. I'm a member of Yahoo...

    The "Space" trailer...possibilities?

    Sorry you don't see the attraction, bee. That's your prerogative, but I like to think outside of the box and see other possibilities. I'm sure there would be some things you would see as great that I would view as ordinary. Somebody might see a plain white van and think it is ordinary when in...

    Entertainment while boondocking, specifically radio.

    As the original poster, I must say I don't listen to the radio for music but primarily for news and information. I enjoy listening to intelligent talk shows and call-in shows where callers ask intelligent and thoughtful questions, just good radio programs on interesting topics. I don't enjoy...

    "Maybe this: http://www.amazon.com/Kaito-Voyager-KA600-Digital-Emergency/dp/B0051QJJ1E/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1373076345&sr=8-9&keywords=shortwave+radio" This does look like a great radio and its first review is one of the most thorough and complete reviews I have ever read on Amazon.

    Entertainment while boondocking, specifically radio.

    Well, an iPod wouldn't be of much use to me since I really don't listen to music much.&nbsp; I prefer information radio, not just politics, but all kinds of information.&nbsp; I also enjoy listening to books being read on the radio and Wisconsin Public Radio has a great program called Chapter a...

    Is purchasing a newer van a good investment?

    Take a chill-pill OneManWolfPack.&nbsp; I never said I'm the only one (check that reading comprehension), neither am I living off of unemployment or welfare (not that there's anything wrong with that or for those who consider Social Security to be "welfare").&nbsp; Certainly situations do...

    Is purchasing a newer van a good investment?

    There certainly is no one right way to do things or one right way to live.&nbsp; But for those of us who are reaching the end of our working days and looking forward to surviving on what may be a small Social Security check and who have worked hard in recent years to get completely out of debt...

    Is purchasing a newer van a good investment?

    Hands down the major disadvantage of buying a newer or new van, and a deal-breaker for many of us, is its cost, $$$$$$$$, going into debt.&nbsp; There are those of us who have worked hard in what may be modest or even poor paying jobs to get out of debt.&nbsp; Why on earth would we want throw...

    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    Well coultergeist, I know that I will leave my home one way or another someday, by choice or by chance, for better or worse.&nbsp; I know I could do it, but it wouldn't be easy.&nbsp; I think that the last time I closed my door to never return that I would just sit on the front steps and have a...

    Amazed how many stealth vans I see

    A cloaking device would seem to be a great idea until people start running into you because they can't see you.&nbsp; The law of unintended consequences comes back to bite you in the keister.&nbsp; It just goes to show, it's always something.<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif"...

    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    I've heard it said that what makes each of us unique individuals are our collective memories and experiences.&nbsp; Where I live just happens to be alive with the memories and experiences that have happened to me here.&nbsp; We read here so often of the various vehicles that people obtain for...

    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    I'm getting the glitch here again of text being strung down the page a couple of characters wide.&nbsp; I hope it's just me.&nbsp; What I'm seeing is from my #3 post in this thread.<br><br>Ziggy Moon, I've participated in online forums for many years and I've found people most often view the top...

    Upon leaving what is more than a house, but a home.

    You are welcome. It's an aspect of fulltiming that I don't really see addressed.The leaving of where you live, perhaps for a long time, is missing the human element and often seems to be treated casually.

    Amazed how many stealth vans I see

    I don't believe it is so much being worried about stealth as it would be being observant about it and learning how to do it better for when it may matter.&nbsp; Before any of us knew anything about stealth camping it's likely we saw people doing it without noticing it much or even really caring...
