Me too. There are some great vandwelling videos on Youtube.

Eh, you started a thread on the RV subject, but then dropped the idea apparently. Is it coming back?
OK, you killjoys have talked me out of it. I realize that the idea was influenced too much by the fun of building a clever and cozy interior. So we'll just fly there and rent a car and bikes like normal people.
I would like to point out that camping (apart from the annoyances mentioned above), is not a hardship. Hotels are also nice, but a good camping experience can be just as good. A nice steak over a wood fire, sitting under the stars by the embers, waking up in a cozy sleeping bag, these things aren't done just to save money. Everyone is different, of course.
And Lena loves camping -- she's the one that wants to do it again, not me. I joke about her preferring a hotel, but that's not quite accurate.

but it seems that you really need to get out a ways to experience anything near the idyllic image of camping under the stars. I don't know how available those places are, but I'm assuming they are far off the beaten path.

That's a very inspiring video FIREd. She's given herself creature comforts and a very agreeable living space for not much money. I also like that her character doesn't seem to be of the extreme outlier (and borderline nutty) type that I think many people expect of vandwellers. She seems to be down to earth and practical, and appears to be really enjoying this lifestyle. Good for her.Me too. There are some great vandwelling videos on Youtube.

This type of boondock camping is not hard to find in the spacious western US.
