    Thinking of taking the leap to California

    Thanks guys. I got a very good job offer near the san Francisco area but am aiming closer to the fresno area as that's closer to the parks I want to be near. I'm hoping I'll head that way soon!

    Thinking of taking the leap to California

    Hello all. I'm not on these forums much due to internet but I've been living in a cargo van for about 3+ years now. I started in Oklahoma and made my way Northwest and am now around the Mt Baker area. I work while I go just due to the fact I like to work and it pays for fun things to do. (The...

    Anyone tried Hawaii?

    You can work on farms picking flowers and get a free place to stay possibly and a place to park your van more than likely. There are very bad areas in Hawaii you do not want to be around. I have a friend that was ganged up on for just playing music on the beach.

    Seattle Safe Lots

    I'm currently in the Seattle area but think I'm going to stay away from there. I have better luck parking next to apartments/warehouses/dispursed camping. I did get bothered once by a Sheriff at a dispursed camping spot but he was cool.

    Seattle, Denver, or Miami As Destinations?

    Thanks a lot for the input. Bob I'll check it out. I can meander around for a while. I'm weather proof for the most part. I braved the winters here in Oklahoma without any insulation or heat in my van and it got down to 7 degrees with a -9 degree wind chill and I did just fine. I use a -40 or...

    Seattle, Denver, or Miami As Destinations?

    I plan on staying at each location for a few months. I will also admit that I considered working at one of those locations. I like working and figured higher cost of living won't effect me so the higher pay would be a bonus and open up newer opportunities. I was wanting to stay in San Diego for...

    New to forums. Lived in my van for a year.

    Hola friends, I drive a E250 cargo van 2012 model. Currently it's equiped with a mattress, a rack to hang my clothes and I'm waiting on insulation because so far I haven't needed it. I've slept in 7 degree weather and was just comfortable with a -40 degree sleeping bag and a hat. I have a YETI...

    Seattle, Denver, or Miami As Destinations?

    You got that right. I plan on touring the entire US and maybe try some Canadian areas as well. My goal is all 50 states eventually. Transporting my van to Hawaii and Alaska should be interesting lol.

    Seattle, Denver, or Miami As Destinations?

    I read somewhere that California has banned people living in their vehicles and the second offense could be a year in jail. I wanted to stay around the San Diego area for a few months until I heard about that law. I heard you can camp there but it is expensive which I can't afford. I only...

    Seattle, Denver, or Miami As Destinations?

    Recently I planned on staying in California for a month or two to see what all it had to offer and the great climate. I recently read that California passed a law against this so I'm changing my course. I plan on staying in each area for 1-3 months to be able to fully immerse. So right now as...

    New to forums. Lived in my van for a year.
