Barbaraok Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Great article! What? No, it wasn't great. It was a snap shot of a few people, no 'article' at all.

markandkim Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Good article. But if it gets too much attention, they will start regulating us.

Kirk W Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I see it more as Barb does. It never mentions how one does this, but was interesting and what it does say is accurate, which isn't always true. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Velos Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I saw this one http://www.escapehomes.us/ on Tiny House Hunting. I think people are catching on to the benefits of downsizing and there are a lot of creative people out there designing their own "Tiny Lifestyle". For those wanting or needing more information there were links in each paragraph with more information for example:The Happy Camper:: How I Quit My Corporate Job and Sold Everything to Travel Full-Time Kindle Edition Another had "how to" videos: https://hofarc.com/learn/ The article was like a table of contents to get started and within each link there was more information depending how deep you wanted to go.

LindaH Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 It wasn't a "how-to" article; rather, it did a good job of getting the point across that living fulltime in an RV doesn't mean that you're a down-on-your-luck vagrant.

2gypsies Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 It wasn't a "how-to" article; rather, it did a good job of getting the point across that living fulltime in an RV doesn't mean that you're a down-on-your-luck vagrant. The comments that we received when telling folks we're full-timers were in awe. They always grilled us as to what's it like, where have we been, that they would love to do it themselves and naturally, "How do you get your mail"?

pugsly Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I may run in different circles than some of you (mainly forest service / blm land) but I come across people fairly often that are living out of their truck with not much more than the clothes on their backs. Good people and I always enjoy chatting and hearing their stories - how they have to move every 20 days from one zone to another, etc. I've found over the years that the people who are most generous often have the least themselves.

richfaa Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 We have been at campgrounds over the year were there were many "Migrate" workers that is those that followed the work.Construction workers, heavy equipment operators just plain laborers, farm workers. Some had RV equipment like or better than ours others not so much. They were good people doing what they had to do to make a living.
