Yet Another Intro

[hipsterreplacement]

Hi folks,

I learned of this site through Bob's excellent and informative videos on YouTube. I've spent a lot of time for the last month watching other folks' experiences as well. I'm experienced car camping in a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan and now doing it in a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. But I've never stealth camped or boondocked and I'd like to read more and ask questions about it so that I can feel more safe and comfortable doing it as needed.

Is there a thread for advice on buying RVs/trailers used? I’ve never bought a vehicle from a stranger before so I’m afraid of getting rooked. Plus while one can hire a mechanic to look at a car, I don’t know who one hires to check out the RV/toy hauler type stuff that could go wrong, esp roof integrity.

I'm currently in SoCal, but I'm trying hard to find rigs in NorCal, where the trailer park is, so I don't have to hassle with as long a drive (or delivery). What area should I ask that question in, though? I don't want to be off-topic.
