Good afternoon all! It has been a few years since I've been on - however, to reintroduce myself, this forum was CRITICAL in my purchase, renovation (and then fieldwork out west) back in 2018. Sadly,…Continue

Okay all, putting Juno up for sale. Seriously selling now - UPDATE PRICE $7,800. She still needs some work - I never renovated the bathroom (need either painting or new wallpaper - it's not bad,…Continue

Hey guys, little west of Albuquerque and was trying to decide the best (read easiest route) for me to get down to Quartzsite. I'm a little nervous about the climb up to Flagstaff on 40 and then back…Continue

After my 'full-timing' adventure of last year, poor Juno found herself neglected in the yard most of the summer. I think I suffered from a little RV PTSD. As the temperatures grew and the humidity descended on our little piece of mountain paradise here in Asheville, NC I was content to enjoy not worrying about my electric consumption, not having to pack up my home every time I needed to go to the grocery store, and poo that just goes away forever when you flush!
Finally,…

We traveled down to Yuma, Arizona last week, and I wanted to share a couple of places for free camping. I am traveling with two other RVers that are planning on taking advantage of 'medical tourism'. Between us we are getting dental work, eyeglasses and medications filled. Los Algodones is very popular for those things with snowbirds. Many stay near the border crossing at the Que Casino which offers free boondocking, but is crowded and noisy. We opted to stay further out and try out some…

Incredible week (and a half) out here so far. I wasn't sure what to expect but despite the isolation, I have to say everything is much more intense than I anticipated. I don't think I've managed to capture it in photos yet, but the desert is beautiful. Yes, it's very dry, very rocky, but the play of colors and textures has caught me in awe more than once.…

I'm a little slow with my report, but I made my final destination on Thanksgiving, and found "the tribe". For those of you that don't know, I'm doing my thesis research on solo female RVers and vandwellers. So while my ultimate destination is the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) in Quartzsite, my final physical destination was Ehrenberg, AZ, 17 miles west of Quartzsite. There, on BLM land the 14 day rule is in effect, but not enforced.
So, many RVers that are going to the two…

I'm here to congratulate on you being "featured". Can someone tell me what "featured" means? Is there a page for featured RV'ers or something that I can read?
Congrats! :)
Dawn ,its best to tarp cover during cold rainy ugly nasty weather,,, roof sealers and such dont bond very well in wet conditions. Thats a project for better weather days.. The plus side,, it gives you the excuse to tinker on the inside,,, you know,, those little things that you want to do, but usually fall on a nice sunshiney day when you don't really want to be inside. This is the time to do those little projects. You sound as if its Christmas morning with a new toy and just cant wait to play,, I admire your enthusiasm.. Have fun and enjoy.. and dont forget, take pictures.
thanks for the comment back i do love my old winnie almost as much as i do Mount n Dew that's why its called the Mount n do me winnie i will let you decipher what it means my daughter named it that but its her first RV experiences and she is the same age now that i was when my great uncle introduced me to the RV world and been loveing it ever since
Dawn my advice don't delay every minuet you delay is 10 minuets of fun and enjoyment you are missing i have a 1976 Winnie and i wanted to buy one in 1976 when this thing was new instead i waited till 2015 to get mine so that is 39 yrs of fun and enjoyment i have missed out on all because i delayed for one thing or another. when you do jump make sure you will get one you can be not only happy in but also proud to own and as for repairs look at it this way your brick and morter home has to have repairs on all the time too so this way your investing in your enjoyment good luck and happy camping
