Hello all, I'm new to this forum and think I will foot in week I've the community. I recently left my job, moved out and packed everything I wanted to hold on to in to a storage unit in Western North Carolina. I always dreamed of spending some time working and traveling around Alaska and the timing seemed great so I jumped.
I found a job to transfer to, sold my car, and moved onto an acquaintances' couch. Funny enough, right after I dropped my beloved car off with the friend who bought it, I ended up passing this street sign
It seems this is my new theme
So here I am. I've decided three rent us to expensive and restricting so the future is the van life.
Yesterday I purchased a '98 Dodge 2500 and today I purchased the mounts for a slide in camper. I'm hoping to purchase a camper this weekend and start moving in.
My goals are to live in the camper year around and pay off the small personal loan I have before the end of the year.
Thus winter should be easy as I plan to leave for about 3 months.
I want to spend as much time off the grid as I possibly can. I work at a desk staring at a computer all day...
The camper in currently considering does not come with a generator so I worry I may kik the batteries rather quickly. I would like to find a solar panel to install ideally. My biggest concern is opening for winter and insulating the camper very well
Looks like a lit off good information here. Look for build thread soon.
