Hi Y'all

FreeRanger · Dec 31, 2015

I (older hippie lady) have been going on two- week trips testing out camper shell living. Now I am planning a two month boondocking trip starting with RTR. Can't wait! I drive a 2000 Tundra and have the topper that goes up high in the back. I unroll a futon at night and use those windshield screens instead of curtains - propped or taped up. I like not having anything built in. I also like being able to look up at the stars. I lived in a tent first with the bears, scorpions and rattlesnakes. This is so much easier.

I am hanging onto my old 26' travel trailer in Oregon for awhile to see how things go, but getting excited about cutting out the rent, since I am another retired person with hardly any retirement. I think there are a whole lot of us in this boat. Thank you, Bob, for getting a tribe together. I have lots of tips for frugal, healthy, low-footprint living to share with anyone interested.

Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome FreeRanger!

New topics will pop up everyday along with older threads being resurrected, so you'll have lots of places to contribute your fugal living tips and experiences.

A Tundra with a high-top shell --- you will be able to go just about anyplace you'd like.

If I don't mention that we like to see pics of various rigs, someone else is sure to do that any minute. Sounds like you are keeping things Zen simple.
