Kind of nosey aren't ya?

I know what you mean. I would love to find a way to tie my years of experience in technology, life and hard knocks into a living that I could do that allowed me to stay on the road and allowed me to earn a living also. I would love to go anywhere in the world. Just me, so any adventure would...

Answered above. I'm certainly not rich. I have enough to last me another year or so if I am very careful with my savings. After that I will see what new adventure is in store for me. I like the uncertainty to be quite honest...

I'm not retired. I worked as a computer programmer for a lot of years and was sick of the life of living in a cube. I sold my house, cashed in my 401K, bought the truck and left. I will travel until the money runs out and then I will decide how to "reinvent" myself all over again. I live as...

Yeah, I like the yellow color also, except there are about a million more out there just like it. Of course, that is part of reason I have been able to stay so "stealthy" and park just about anywhere unnoticed. *smile* The trip across the U.S. and through Canada on to Alaska was just amazing...

That is very kind of you my friend. I started out travelling like this in a small 2002 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 pick-up with a fiberglass shell on the back for sleeping. I just loved it! The only problem was that if I had a problem and I had to move for some reason in the middle of the night, I...

Since I don't have any inside heat or A/C, I travel with the seasons. Florida this time of year is just about the hardest area I have found to "stealth" or pad camp. I was told it is because the department stores are pressured to keep anyone from overnight parking because the RV parks want to...

I would only disagree with the last one. The older I get (well over 60), the less I want to carry, protect, clean, move, tie down and store. I find that it gives me more time to do what I want to do. Just me though.

I also like that I don't have to worry about anyone seeing my kayak from the outside. I never have to worry about locking or protecting it when I leave the truck.

I am travelling alone, so it's not possible for me to ride in the back and drive. *grin* BUT, I have to say that the government has too damn many so called "laws" and I have no problem breaking the silly, useless ones at times...

Thank you my friend. I must admit that the older I get (well over 60), the more I like simplicity and ease. My old mind tells me to not spend my life planning or building, but doing. But, let me be honest, this truck design was do in large part to budget, available place to work, and tools...

The ultimate obstacle. Good luck with that issue. *smile*

That's is the perfect combination and the reason for this forum! Great answer.

The answer is nothing. It gets about 12 mpg. Here is what many cannot handle. I have just changed my lifestyle to fit the truck! I now drive much less miles per day, maybe 50-100 miles a day. Most people need to run to some camping place on a holiday weekend and then run home driving 100s...

Just ask yourself. Do you enjoy building the R/C plane or flying it! I just want to go flying myself...

I agree completely. Thank you!

You haven't had a thrill until you have ridden out a thunder storm in ND in one of these tin boxes. Ha,ha.

If you haven't, take a look at my box van. I have heard and I believe it from buying my truck that Penske takes much better care of their trucks than U-haul or other truck rental places. I bought my Penske off of E-bay sight unseen. Luckily it worked out great. Penske doesn't use a LT Duty...

Yes. Most people pay crazy prices because they are afraid of parking elsewhere. To pay 50-100K for a rig and to then pay 20-30+ dollars a night is just outside of my budget I'm afraid.

I agree completely!
