Welcome, Debbie . . . I too feel the gypsy spirit. My grandmother had an RV. My mom did too, and lived for years as a traveler without a fixed abode. We are mostly Irish - so maybe it is heredity! My youngest son is an over-the-road semi truck driver and my youngest daughter just moved herself into a skoolie a few months ago. We are all set to travel. I will most likely get my van next year.

Hopefully we will meet somewhere on the road of life. All the best to you ... oh, and I wanted to mention writing, since you're writing a memoir. First of all, condolences on the terrible traumas your family has gone through. So sad... anyhow, I too am a writer. Maybe we could have a writing thread somewhere here, like in the hobbies section of the forums. I love memoir writing and could be a good critique partner as well.

All the best to you. Happy travels!

there are a lot of us good old fashioned caring people still left out in the big bad world , somehow we do find each other and make it work!   I am newer on this board and have seen many great people giving wonderful kind advice.  A forum I enjoy so far, one that actually helps and cares!
When you get the settlement and get your life in order, the open road awaits!  I bet many wonderful adventures come your way! You will meet up and make friends with some great people out there doing the lifestyle we love just like you are!

Greetings, Debbie Lynn!!

Got my PhD from the School of Hard Knocks as well but you certainly had your world turned upside down.
The good news is that each day is a new beginning...thank goodness.

Good for you making decisions that help you follow your bliss. That is my intent as well, I just forget it sometimes. 

Peace,
Marcus

Welcome to the forum, Debbie. Like everyone has said there’s tons of information here . Plus everyone is willing to help answer any questions. And I think there are more van dwellers on here then anything else. Are you buying new or used ? If new you won’t have to worry about if it’s been serviced regularly or have the brakes been replaced and all that other stuff with buying used . But there are a lot of good low mileaged vans out there . I’m sure they will be able to steer you in the right direction. I say they because I’m in a class c ?. I like my shower and toilet. Hope to cya on the rod sometime. Good luck ?
