Greetings and all that

Hi there...&nbsp; I'm looking at returning to the RV life after 10 years off the road and wish I had some resource like this forum when I was wandering in the late 80's and 90's.<br><br>Anyway, I'm gearing up to go back on the road after having had a "real life" for entirely to long.&nbsp; I've lived in everything from conversion vans to a couple years in a Geo Metro.&nbsp; Being in my 40's rather than my 20's I'm sure it will be much different, and having 3 dogs will also be a concern.&nbsp; I haven't decieded exactly what I want to live in yet.&nbsp; I am mostly torn between a large cab over camper or trading my truck on a&nbsp; motorhome. I'm permanately disabled (insert sob story here.)&nbsp; so I don't have the income issues I did before, but I am also much more accustomed to creature comforts than I used to be.<br><br>Both have advantages and disadvantages and I have lots to learn and look at.&nbsp; I look forward to learning from all of you. <br><br><br><br>

Thanks for the warm welcome.&nbsp; I had no idea this forum was here, I only stumbled over it by accident looking in to options for wireless internet.<br><br>I started living in a car in the late 80's with an older Subaru wagon.&nbsp; Great first car for living in with a few mods. Did time in college for a while and then I finally wrecked it in Oregon and settled for a while in the Pacific NW.&nbsp; Lived in an Chevy van for a while before getting a 'real' job and settling down.&nbsp; Gave that up after buying a Geo Metro (not a good car for living in) and hit 49 of 50 states living off of selling jewelry/body piercing and following fairs/circuses and flea markets.&nbsp; 135K miles and 2.5 years later the car was done and what was going to be a 2 week stay in NW Washington to get gas money to head for Fla for the winter turned in to almost 12 years, a "career", house, huge amounts of junk etc.<br><br>Now that my health forced me in to retirement, I realizethat I really don't want most of it and look forward to returning to some sort of gypsy lifestyle while I still can. <br><br>Hopefully before another gloomy 6 month Washington winter.<br><br>
