Since I sold my class c in April and then shot up here to my summer place. I don't like being so stationary. I am thinking of a cargo van and setting it up for camping. Class B's are nice but wow do they cost. <br />Good luck in your search.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-87139170868116944192012-06-19T20:17:35.448-04:002012-06-19T20:17:35.448-04:00Wow! 8000 miles is a lot of miles.

They really do add up especially if you don't want to stay in a flea bag.<br /><br />You have some months to keep your eyes open for just the right thing. Check craig's list and when it gets cooler go around to used dealers and let them know what you want. They will try to find it for you for sure.<br /><br />I must have missed the purpose of the bounce sheets before a car wash. Never heard of that. What does it do??Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-22700569599961384332012-06-19T19:35:22.584-04:002012-06-19T19:35:22.584-04:00Glad to read your home and safe! ;)
When it isn&#...Glad to read your home and safe! ;)<br /><br />When it isn't 20 something degrees… I unfurl my little screen room and set up camp. For traveling … Homer is just fine … BUT staying in one place like I have been for almost a month! IT'S OPEN!!! The Road is Open!!!!!<br /><br />I was at Wheat Montana and checked the status --- couldn't believe m'eyeballs! I had checked a few hours earlier --- still closed --- I did a Snoopy dance at Wheat Montana… HAhaaaa…<br /><br />Anyway… this is the first time I've really 'lived' in Homer. This Walmart was so accommodating. I would like to be able to stand up, yes… but I've gotten so used to how I do things and fine tuned where everything is that it doesn't bother me as much as it did in the beginning.<br /><br />The only thing I do in Homer is sleep. I do like my porta potty for early morning or late night pees and that's where the standing up gets tricky. I'm used to it and it works out fine. It's like a second seat. I've even pulled off the main road and used it while traveling and no bathroom in sight!<br /><br />The trade off for not being able to stand is the ability to park wherever. No one really pays much attention to a minivan - gray - Honda - like ol Homer. He's special to me but he's actually quite innocuous looking and can stealth park with ease. I don't like to do stealth much but I have and it's nice to be able to.<br /><br />The only maintenance is regular car maintenance - nothing special and nothing to empty. I use leak proof garbage bags to line my hassock porta potty --- no mess, no fuss…<br /><br />I think you would be very happy in a Road Trek kind of van. I would be too! but it's not in my budget. Plus you seem to like to go really camping and like to cook and such. That kind of van would be very comfortable.<br /><br />I can only 'take' camping for a couple of nights and I don't like to set up a bunch of stuff and cook. <br /><br />Di and a couple of others on the WGS group have such. I know you've tried the 5th wheel and then the Class B? was it? and tent, right? Your Highlander could be gutted out - the seats taken out like I did Homer's … but getting used to not standing up and pulling yer britches up is kinda tricky… ;) I get tickled <br /><br />But you're a slim person and I would assume not much tugging to getchur britches up…. <br /><br />If I don't get outta Montana and all these bakeries!!!! I'm not even going to be able to get my britches off!<br /><br />I'm waiting for the brand new Tuesday night Farmer's Market to open at the Depot Park with music and all manner of thises and thats! I'm sitting in Homer watching all the setting up and such….<br /><br />Then in the morning? OFF TO THE ROAD! I am soooooooo excited!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-1287617430181589312012-06-19T19:15:23.285-04:002012-06-19T19:15:23.285-04:00I'm so glad you made it home safely.
And I...I'm so glad you made it home safely.<br /><br />And I'm glad you're thinking about getting some kind of rig for next year. You'll have fun researching and looking. Those little class B or B+ units would be good. Some of the Class Cs are shorter than mine (24') and would be great for traveling. I met a couple who had a 22 footer, and they said they were very happy with it.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-75693990498959294262012-06-19T19:08:39.031-04:002012-06-19T19:08:39.031-04:00Sounds like you need a VW camper van, pretty cheap...Sounds like you need a VW camper van, pretty cheap to run and everything you need for an overnight along the way.
