    New California law would protect vandwellers from ticketing and vehicle seizure.

    Thanks everyone for your positive comments.  Really.  Thanks.    I was starting to believe that this site / this forum is not for me, that I should never return.  That this site is NOT for people that think for themselves; Not for people that specifically CHOOSE to live & be outside the norm. ...

    Unhealthy living in a brand new van?

    Out-gassing is important to me too. New houses are wrapped up so tight as to make me sick from the flumes coming off the carpeting linoleum drapes & even the counter-tops (less so the cabinets and whatnot.) All day, all night, all the time, out-gassing is occurring. All a person can do is...

    How to get in and out, and remain stealth?

    Step 1) do move it. even if it is only a half a block, or around one corner. Perhaps going around the block once. They'll start (correctly) believing that you live nearby. Step 2) wash it periodically. Wherever is cheap. Step 3) exit and enter through the driver's side door. Whistle...

    Hitting the road tomorrow

    I'm so HAPPY!!!!     The rig is all packed, cleaned, and tuned.  The new bicycle mount (method) is cleaner than all get out, and the bicycle is tuned up too.   Rather than going up (north) the CA coast, I'll head inland making sure that I transverse the Sierra Nevada Mtns a couple times before...

    1988 Vanagon what do you thnk

    meh, who am i? but: vw are always over priced, imo. But stealth-ier than the ford transit (as they are much more familar to the eye). And stealth-ier than an REAL RV that you could get for that price, or lower. the Ram: anywhere, any street, any time = stealth. (Also true for...

    VOLUNTEER positions: Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area.

    I've ridden there. Thousand of acres of sand riding. Better have paddle tires for your machine though. Change out to dirt tires, and go inland, for big trees, and lots of green.

    Between San Fran and Monterey

    Hmmm. Sounds like timing for traffic is the primary issue, Right? Everyone and their sister will be headed into (into) town, from north, south east and west, in the morning. But then you'll be headed in the opposite direction of traffic: outta town, IF you are on the correct side of town...

    Northern California RV living

    I was gunna say that I have had VERY good luck & zero hassles in Northern CA. But that depends on what one considers northern. And, as I understand it things have gotten a *whole *lot *better in the Santa Cruz area (the only place I really had any problems.) And I do get local reports...

    what camping stove

    I have a folding charcoal grill. I always take it because it folds up reasonably small (meaning flat.) Which is perhaps doubly important when you have something that get so dirty-messy that you have to double or triple bag it before putting it away. I've only used it twice. It works well...
