RAM provides free Medical, Dental and Vision in Pahrump, Oct 3-4 http://RAMUSA.org I heard about Remote Area Medical (RAM) from Guy here on the forum.  RAM is a mobile organization providing free medical dental and vision services for people who are un- or under-insured.  When I needed a tooth...

I found this article interesting and thought I'd share it here. With social distancing and sheltering in place, many others beside nomads are seeking jobs that are not location based.  Although this article's list of jobs are listed under the heading "work from home," these positions could...

Almost 3 years ago, I decided I needed to replace my '04 Prius.  My analysis that lead to my decision to get another Prius is here in the forum at https://vanlivingforum.com/showthread.php?tid=24314. Since then, HOWA entered my life and my needs have changed.  So, I just purchased a 2016 Chevy...

The purpose for this Public Service Announcement (PSA) is to help people, especially those new to the lifestyle realize that -- 1) Our mobile community is helpful, 2) Mistakes and accidents happen within that helpful community, and 3) Each person needs to take responsibility, use their own...

Kathy of Boondockers United needs assistance in the Flagstaff area this spring and summer.  Kathy is a real "giver" in the nomad community.  I look forward to rallying around her now that she needs our help.  Please read her Facebook post below.  If you are available, email her at...

The CheapRVLiving (CRVL) Caravans, that began last November, have been extremely successful.  They've been a place for nomads to gather.  New folks to the lifestyle have especially appreciated that they could be with like-minded people.  The camaraderie and community spirit that emerge within...

I've started updating the Women's Rubber Tramp Rendezvous site at http://cheaprvliving.com/womensrtr.  Check out January's schedule! 2019 Women’s Rubber Tramp Rendezvous Dates: January 4-8, 2019 Location: Bouse, AZ (33.827526, -114.054367) The Women’s Rubber Tramp Rendezvous is less than a...

Some friends and I were just talking about our observations of newcomers to the RTR/desert.  So, here are three ways for you to prepare for that new environment: 1) Drink lots of water.  It's dry and very easy to become dehydrated.  If it's windy, drink double.  The wind saps the moisture from...

If you plan to attend the 2018 Women's RTR (1/22-24) after the main RTR (1/11-21), then please let us know your top three selections for 20-minute mini-sessions. During the Women's RTR, we won't repeat any sessions offered during the main RTR, including Info about Quartzsite, Solar...

After hearing feedback at the Women's Meetings during previous RTRs (Rubber Tramp Rendezvous), and after reading several requests in this forum for a women's get together, we are offering a Women's RTR.  So, after attending the main RTR from January 11th to 21st, continue to camp with other...

Scenerio:  I've finished my fast food meal and am now in my vehicle connecting to their free wifi, but my laptop is not staying connected due to a weak signal. Questions:  What device can I have in my vehicle to get a stronger signal?  Would it be USB powered?  12v powered?   (I really don't...

First, thank you to Guy who posted just recently about RAM (Remote Area Medical) and their upcoming schedule here https://vanlivingforum.com/showthread.php?tid=25162&pid=311301#pid311301.  The timing couldn't have been better as I had developed a tooth ache and no extra funds or dental insurance...

For me, good air flow is just as important as AC for climate control with the warm weather, maybe more so.  For that I've installed window screens made of noseeum mesh.   I installed them on my '04 Prius' back passenger windows and loved them, but wasn't as happy with the Velcro with Gorilla...

I like using coconut oil on my dry skin.  Once I didn't notice that I had accidently tipped the jar on it's side. The lid was screwed on, but evidently not tight enough; when the weather warmed, the oil liquified and ran all over. So, I'd love to take it on the road with me, but I'm afraid of...

I got my '04 Prius in Nov. '03, one of the first of the 2nd Generation off the line.  My commute to work was 70+miles one-way at the time; so, a high-MPG vehicle only made sense.  Still, even in progressive Western Washington, my funny-shaped car drew stares as I passed by.  And in the small...

Why is a Prius Dweller in this Van Forum? Well, because I'm seriously considering a van. If you would, please provide feedback on my decision-making processes -- am I forgetting something, is there another alternative that I've missed, if you were in the same situation and had my passions...

Earlier this week Bob Wells (CRVL site owner) made a blog post sharing Debra's dire situation.  At the time it was made, however, the link to her GoFundMe account was missing.  It's on there now. I consider Debra a good friend and have seen, first hand, the positive effects on her health when...
