    How Much Money To Start Off?

    So you are asking if 30,000 dollars will be enough to hold you over for a few months while you look for work after your trip to Italy? And you'll be living in a vehicle during this time? I don't get the question. Are you planning on spending 10-15k a month living in the Astro Van? If not, you...

    Amazon Camperforce - Carlisle, Pa?

    Hm.. I've lived in AZ all my life. The idea of a cold, snowy winter seems fun on paper. But maybe I'll consider getting a cheap class C or a van.

    RTR safety class/es

    This made me laugh. And I just wanted to add that I think it's a bad idea to scream "Get back, go away!" if someone approaches you and asks for money. I think you could very simply and sternly state "Sorry, I can't help".

    Amazon Camperforce - Carlisle, Pa?

    Sheesh, this has got to be the easiest job to get. I spent 20 minutes filling out their application and speeding through their little personality test. A week later I got a stock email from Amazon saying "We are interested in you! Click on the link to learn more about Amazon and keep an eye out...

    Living in your vehicle in Phoenix.. in the summer.

    Actually, I live in Casa Grande, about 50 miles from Phoenix. When my lease is up at the end of February, I'm thinking I will move into my SUV for a few months in order to build my savings up and also put some money into making my cabin up north livable. I think I could do a solid three months...

    Salutations!

    What's the difference between a national park and a national forest? Pardon my ignorance. I'm just looking for a scenic and slightly secluded place to park overnight. I am not interested in heavy tourist areas. I saw my parents tonight for dinner and I told them about my plans to take this trip...

    car camping in phoenix area...

    Phoenix seems like it would be an awful idea for summer car camping.. unless you have a specific reason to be here, like getting a new job or visiting family. It's hot here, man. REALLY hot. It will be a rough summer for you and I wish you the best.

    van bed

    I picked this futon mattress up from Big Lots a few weeks back for my Ford Escape. http://www.biglots.com/p/deluxe-black-futon-mattress It's a full size mattress which might be smaller than you want but it's pretty comfortable. I definitely recommend against going with the air mattress, I've...

    Salutations!

    Hey all. So I am gearing up for a 3-4 month trip on the road. I'll be traveling from Phoenix, AZ through Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Vancouver, Calgary, Idaho, Utah and then hitting the rockies for awhile on my way home. I'll be traveling in my 2008 Ford Escape. I'm the original...
