Do I need a 4x4 truck to haul a truck camper? I know the weight is the most important, but my brother keeps telling me I need a 4wd to make sure I don't get stuck in the desert somewhere. I read Bob's blog about being prepared if you do get stuck even with 4wd, so.. is 4wd really that...

I definitely agree with this article, and I've heard all the negative comments from friends and family: "someone might kidnap you" LOL!! "can't you take someone along" umm...NO "it's not safe for ladies to travel alone" should I dress like a guy and buy a fake beard then? Since I've started...

I don't like leaving my dog in the van for too long when I'm shopping, especially if it's hot out. Not that I shop at Bloomingdales lol, but I will take my pup to the Home Depot next time :) http://barkpost.com/dog-friendly-stores/

I know for sure I would have to put money into this motorhome, but.... for this price is it worth it? Thanks for your opinions :) http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/rvs/4688939624.html

I've been trying to get as much information on the states that are Rv'er friendly and warm in the winter. Also, I hope to buy a cheap parcel of land just to secure my residency since I'm on disability ( not trying to mess with the government ) . So far Texas and New Mexico seem to have some...

Being a Michigander I never knew about this Valley Fever stuff. The first I heard about it was in a post about washing dishes with sand in the desert. I looked it up on a gov link but thought I'd get some info from experienced boondockers :) How common is it? My dog always has her nose to the...

I have searched every second hand store in my area for months and even asked a few grocery stores if I could buy some of their milk crates that I saw in the cooler (of course they said no). At the Salvation Army I found 1...yes 1...and it was broken!! There is a store online that sells them...

So after losing my best buddy Bosco a few months ago, I became so lonely and lost after having him by my side for 9 yrs I decided to adopt!!! I found a 2ish yr. old female Yorkie/Silky Terrier. The owners didn't 'want' her anymore, they had 7 dogs! Said they got 2 litters out of her so I...

After so many days, weeks, and months of going back and forth to what vehicle I wanted to get again, I bought a minivan! I decided that decent mpg's was most important and I would be pretty comfy in a minivan. Unfortunately my beloved best friend Bosco had to be put down last month due to...

Some of the used camper vans I've been looking at have non working rooftop ac/heaters. Couldn't I just remove the ac/heater and patch up the hole or put in a vent? What type of material would I use to cover the big hole? I'm new to making rv repairs so any tips and help is welcome :)...

After my van crapped out on me last summer and making the HUGE mistake of not having enough emergency fund money, I've decided that getting a Ford Ranger or S10 truck is going to be my new way of living! Anyone else out there going this route? Mainly because of the gas mileage and having 4wd...

Has anyone ever tried these items? I've been checking out a few different brands and found that Augason Farms on Walmart.com seems to be economical and a bit healthier than other brands. thanks:) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Augason-Farms-Emergency-Food-Vegetable-Stew-Mix-2-lb/21777152

So I had my van up for sale for about a month... a few interested people but nothing solid.&nbsp; Guess people in this area aren't looking for a big ole' van these days.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; I decided to keep the van. For some reason I kept thinking I needed something bigger. Then I found...

I start my new life full timing with my dog next month, and wondered if anyone has had problems with not so 'perfectly social' dogs in state/national parks and campgrounds? Dogs are allowed in these places but from what I've read not on any of the hiking trails.&nbsp; I have an Access Park Pass...

As I'm prepping for full timing in April, I came across this company.&nbsp; <br><br>http://www.goalzero.com/shop.html?gclid=CMv5rJ3s-bQCFY9DMgod03QAsw<br><br>Since I don't plan on needing a lot of power, mostly to charge phone, laptop, dvd player, maybe a portable tv, thought this might be the...
