First things first, i'm trying to figure out how to post. I finally started a new thread, which i guess is the same as a new post in this particular categoryh? And then when you are in other categories (or threads??) you just reply in the threads already established by subject?
Okay, I'm 70 and I lead with my age because one of the reasons I want to get on the road is because I feel the time a-passing and it scares the heck out of me. Well, maybe not scares me, but I do feel a kind of panic when I realize the road is getting shorter. So I have lived all over the place, am an adverturer or like to think of myself as being one once upon a time and I am a traveler. I moved back to my hometown in Georgia (pop. 9000 about 10 years ago to help my sister take care of my mom and now that my sister is retired, I feel okay about leaving. I am looking for a vehicle, which I have a ton of questions about but i guess there are other forums for that? I should just search? So I found out about Bob and Cheaprv living through a friend who has been a few of the rubber tramp rendevouz and lived in his van for a year or so working the campsite, beet harvest, amazon circuit. It turned out pretty good for him and I think I will like it too mainly because it will give me some freedom and relief from working just to pay the rent every month. This is not a great time to be traveling and I have been very very careful about protecting myself and others. I started looking for my van when I decided I could leave georgia for at least a while and my first stop will be New Mexico. I don't want to have to stay in hotels, motels, or use public accommodations, restaurants, etc. so i want a self-contaiend little cubby hole. I hope to be in NM by Thanksgiving so that gives me a few weeks to get it together. I've looked at a bunch of options and would love to find a forum where i can ask questions about Roadtreks in particular and about problems with rust in general. Briefly, I found a 19095 Roadtrek 190 Versatile with 140,000 miles but it grew up in Minnesota and I think it may be eat up with Rust. But it's cheap and I'm kind of in that place where i'm hoping/dreaming that maybe if I could get it checked out and get everything fixed, it would be the one for me. Anyway, I'm going to look for a forum wehre I can sepll out all the problems I've found so far, whch is probably goimng to make most replies to my story -- RUN AWAY1 Okay, thanks to everybodyt aht keeps this resource going. I look forward to hearing the stories and learning from your experience. Anyone who wants to talk abouat rust and/or roadtreks, please message me as I need to make a decision soon and I need some reality testing.
