Van Life newbie

[Nomadic Ghost]

Hi everyone!  my wife and i purchased a Chevy Express Cargo van about 3 months ago and have already completely converted it to live in. Like a lot of you, We were sick of giving our landlord my paycheck every month.   Somehow we stumbled across Cheap RV living on YouTube and was inspired by Bobs story and all those he has interviewed on his channel. Today, we follow many Vanlifer's on YouTube.  We have learned so much by watching them.  We are going to Quartzite for the first time over the Christmas holiday to try boondocking. we hope to have the chance to meet you all when we get there.

Welcome to the forum, Steve and all!

I am sure you will enjoy your trip to the desert. There is no RTR gathering planned this year, but some dwellers are out camping. Here is a link that may help you connect. Have fun!    -crofter

Welcome Steve to the CRVL forums! To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips, Tricks and Rules" post lists some helpful information to get you started.

Most of our rules boil down to two simple over-riding principles: 1) What you post should provide good information (like your introductory post), and 2) Any response to someone else's post should make them feel glad they are part of this forum community.

Welcome to the forum nomadic ghost. And welcome to the lifestyle. I’m not a desert rat I’m an East Coast rat. I’m in Florida right now no other place to be on the East Coast in Florida now if you want to stay warm. Enjoy each other and enjoy the travels. You’re about to be closer than you’ve ever been literally. That will take some getting used to but you can do it.

Hi, I am new as well and also bought a Chevy Express. I am hoping you post some pics somewhere here so I can get ideas! I have only been here two days, on this forum, but am buzzing hard from it.
