  1. These are all amazing responses -- thank you guys! I am going to be rigged for solo and definitely plan on experimenting with boondocking. I think for now I'm just going to play it by ear and figure out what I want to do once I land in Florida.
  2. Hey all! So I just purchased a Casita (straight off the factory floor, which is NOT usually my MO when it comes to vehicles, but they hold their value so well I couldn't resist). I pick it up in Texas at the end of July, and then I'm headed east to Florida to set up domicile and also wave hi to my family before I get back on the good side of the Mississippi. (Sorry, east coasters -- after living there for 25+ years, I'm over the humidity!) However: I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to plan things out and make reservations or just wing it. I want to spend as little as possible on campgrounds -- which makes a monthly site rental attractive -- but I also don't know exactly what the rest of the year is going to look like. Also excited to suss out whether I prefer developed camping or boondocking, and hesitant to make too many commitments until I try out both. All of which is to say: How do you guys operate? Do you boondock more than renting developed sites, or vice versa? Do you make reservations ahead of time, or go with the flow? How likely is it for me to encounter the worst case scenario and show up somewhere and have absolutely nowhere to park? Thanks for your feedback, all!
  3. Thanks for the warm welcomes, all! I've actually lived in an RV before -- but it was a 40 foot diesel pusher that hadn't been moved from my parents backyard in over a decade. I certainly wouldn't want to drive something like that, and I've always lived in small spaces... plus I wanted something I could actually afford 🙃. Took a lot of inspiration from Becky of Interstellar Orchard, also!
  4. Hey all! Just wanted to wave hi and introduce myself to the community -- not an official Escapee yet, but will be soon. I bought a Casita (new off the lot -- the used ones were so close in price anyway, I couldn't resist) and head out to Texas to pick it up at the end of July. Then: the road! I'm a full-time freelance writer and have been living a remote work/travel-focused lifestyle for a while now, though I did spend a full year here in Santa Fe. I felt like I needed a break and the chance to settle somewhere that felt like my own for a while. I'd basically been doing month-by-month vacation rentals/Airbnb, so I'm looking forward to the travel trailer life -- seems like the perfect combination of mobility and having my own private space! I'm excited to find community here amongst other itchy-footed people; I've always had trouble staying in one place. First place I'm headed after Texas is Florida to set up domicile (I have family there), so if you're in the St. Augustine area in late July/early August, say hello!
