Backing Into Things Sort of

[Safaribob]

Hi All:<br><br>I'm Bob.&nbsp; I have already posted some questions so now I'm going back for the introduction invitation.&nbsp; I found Bob's site googling something like living cheaply or inexpensively.&nbsp; From my teen years (70's) I can remember wanting to have a vehicle where I could climb from the front into the back and be in a comfortable space.&nbsp; But I never acted on that heart's desire, instead buying the "chick magnet" muscle cars --rides that impressed others.&nbsp; There's nothing wrong with being proud of one's vehicle --see that (people creating simple living spaces that are mobile) here on this site and what a wonderful variety of ideas.&nbsp; The last few years I've been more "driven" by my original plan to live in a home that's mobile so I too am making a plan and working the plan to simplify like others being encouraged here at Bob's site.&nbsp;&nbsp; That's it for now.<br><br>

<P>Let an old man be the first to welcome you.&nbsp; I too had that dream for years and finally got the backbone to jump in with both feet.&nbsp; I now full-time in a old 30 ft motor home.&nbsp; Love it doesn't even begin to come close.&nbsp; Ed</P>

Safaribob, my van is in the driveway next to my pickup, and my wife's minivan. Next to both of those is a 73 el camino ss that we hope to restore to pull our rebuilt 69 Shasta 14' travel trailer. It IS possible to have the best of both worlds. I have seen some real nice antique campers and vans in my travels, but the 30's ford model a dual wheel truck ( a souped up canary yellow one) with the 80's Toyota dauphin camper body was awesome! Welcome to the forum!

Hi Bob, I too have been drawn to mobile living since my teens. I remember so well a pickup a friend of mine had with a tall shell. Across the bed they had put a bed wide enough for both of them to sleep. The first time I saw it I thought, "How great would that be, I could go camping and have a place to sleep." Little did I know that a few decades later I would be living in a pickup very much like that one. It took me a while to get here, but what's important is that I am there now. Don't let go of your dreams!! Bob<br>
