Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted November 27, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 27, 2018 Camper life, being more accurate. Tick tock... Our truck is aging. We are prepared for it's eventual death. When that happens, we are planning to travel. A few short years and my vagabond lifestyle is going to be a thing. Get your parking spots ready. @Parr8hed @jsharr 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2018 Have fun, I have had 6 vans and one panel truck. I wouldn’t want to live in any of them but we had a lot of fun with our vans and the panel truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted November 27, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2018 I still think the van conversion is a great way to road trip, Anyone who thinks that living in one for a year straight or somesuch sounds a bit deluded. Damn, I want one, though, it would be so great to visit people all over the country and not have to get a hotel along the way, or to not have to set up a tent in the rain if you have gone camping. The "van life" subsegment in the video seem nice but a bit insufferable. Living in one while your house is finished my be doable though, depending on how far along you are on the construction.

Part of the year, and part of the year in a regular house. We need to work a little bit to pay for health care. Otherwise, our financial needs should be pretty simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promise! I am glad that you are into the van life. Parts of it are very appealing to me. Mine will be slightly modified. Big diesel truck and a big 5th wheel. I plan to continue working, just not nearly as much as I am now. Campgrounds with water and electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to K about visiting you. I want to jump off the steps at the Chubb trail. Those look fun. 1 hour ago, Parr8hed said: I am glad that you are into the van life.

Campgrounds with water and electric. That is sort of our plan. We are really leaning towards just coming back home to Klamath and banging out some hours to make our insurance premiums. Our setup here and the cost is insanely low. Also, in seeing G's recent progress, even I am getting intimidated to ride with his young athletic self. Although, I bet my husband and I could have fun with some harder techy riding on the trail with him. MTB totally helps CX competitors. There were several races that I won, merely because I had less fear. On the wide open sprint, I tend to die. Give me a bumpy trail with a teeter totter, and I'll close some gaps. 9 hours ago, Airehead said: Spot that we made for @Parr8hed and his rig is always waiting for you. Oh heck yes! I'm a great dog walker too. 12 hours ago, BR46 said: If you ever end up around where we are racing I'll let you be my monkey. For real Seriously.

az_cyclist Posted November 28, 2018 Share #18 Posted November 28, 2018 we moved, and have an HOA now, so neighborhood parking is limited. But there is a park 2 miles away, and a strip mall with a large parking lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
