I completely agree with you. There is a type of RVing out there for anybody and everybody. I spend a lot of time out west/southwest, and I do BLM land a fair amount. My tanks can get me 5 to 7 days, so I will do 5 to 7 days, and then go to a campground for a day or two where I can go fill tanks, empty tanks, maybe do laundry, grocery shop, etc.
@@vaughn6371 one person. I’ve got 38 fresh, 30 gray, 30 black. I have 5 water containers that each hold 3 gallons, and 2 gallons in the fridge. So, I hit the road with 55 gallons total of fresh water. I can do 5 days without really being careful with my usage as regards the black and gray tanks. I did 7 days at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. I just started another round right now and I’m going to try and do 10 days. I’m in a national forest campground, and it does have pit toilets, but that is all.
That's exactly how I live, every couple of weeks or so I will go to a park for 2 nights to run errands as such and back to the free world. The only time I stay longer at a park is for weather reasons such as too cold/hot so that I can sleep comfortably.
One way you save a TON of money is by cooking in (or outside) your rig instead of going out to eat. I have a portable flat top grill that I plugin and use outdoors to cook the majority of our meals. As soon as we get to our RV park, we immediately go grocery shopping for what we want to cook for the time we are there. Saves HUGE money to not eat out at every meal, thus gives more in the budget for adventure! We usually will eat one meal out every couple of days to get a feel for the local food. Also, a power pressure cooker can be hooked up outside as well and makes a TON of food that can be stored easily too :)
HI Liz and Paul, I am not an RVer. I have commented a few times on your vids. I love your channel. I am 63 and able to retire. In fact I already did. The two of you give such useful tips. BTW, you have a beautiful RV. I am in a state of change. I appreciate your channel. Paul, I am so sorry for loss of your brother a bit back. I hope happy memories live in your heart. Take care, Rusty
Hi Rusty! Thank you so much for your kind words. We love having you with us and are glad you retired at a young age. We so appreciate your support and kind words. See you in the next video!
We recently got ourselves a seasonal campsite. I live in Ottawa, Canada so RVing full time is not as feasible without traveling far distances plus logistics with work. With two little kids amd two dogs, its nice to be able to just show up, unlock the door and see a different 4 walls for a few days and even weeks at a time. We used to weekend travel but it became daunting and overbearing to get away for a few days. I'm enjoying the trailer life much more since we parked the rv 😊❤
Same here. We parked our 35 footer after 3 years seasonal traveling all over from the GTA to the Maritimes. It's now on a more than double lot in the center of a 150 seasonal sight campground 1/2 hour from home. Every weekend on season were there. We are planning to change to a snowbird lifestyle in several years.
East Coast: Mostly campgrounds. West of the Mississippi: BLM land, National Forests or National Parks. Harvest Host and Thousand Trails memberships (also get the $80 America the Beautiful annual pass if you plan to go to a lot of National Parks). The one challenge regarding cost I've found with following the nice weather, is that I'm not the only one, so rates are definitely higher in those areas when the weather is nice. Its always good to shop around because there can be many campgrounds in the same area with drastically different prices (good tip in video about not paying for amenities if you'll never use them) or you can use various websites to find boondocking areas, if you have a rig that can do that.
Hi guys!! There IS an RV for everyone ❤️ great video, thank you so much for the beautiful scenery. Liz, you are an 'amazing' drone pilot 💯 have a fun summer up there!
Such an encouraging video! You are absolutely correct -- there are so many ways to "do" this lifestyle ! Personally, I am just grateful to have my own bathroom!!! Keep up the good work!
Hello, we free camp , this is what we call boon docking in Australia. We research the closest towns usually within a radius of 200kilometres, once every two to three weeks one of us will go in our car and take all our rubbish, get water in containers, empty our toilet cassettes, and do the shopping. We are extremely well set up for boon docking, with plenty of solar and a generator if we need to top off batteries on the cloudy bad days.To camp this way you have to be totally self sufficient and very responsible. We never leave a trace. Anyway another great subject for your video this week. Sending love from your Aussie nomad friends ❤️🤗
Thank you Gail! Sounds like you have a good system for free camping! That's great that you have the cassettes because it's much more portable than having to break camp. Enjoy and thanks for the love!!!
I thought that background looked familiar! We visited Lake Five just last month. We are blessed to live in Central Montana, and we're building our RV experience in state, so far. Thanks for the great tips!
Awesome! I bet we were there at the same time! We were there the last two weeks in June. And we absolutely LOVE Montana. Check out my tee shirt in this video, also shot at Lake Five: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aLoaURpt0Qo.html
We are new to the RV world. Actually we have everything but our RV ( ordered it in April, waiting on delivery) so until then we watch all the RU-vid videos to get as much info as possible. We love watching your videos!! You have really given us lots to prepare for and think about. Hope one day we get to meet you on the road!!!
@@russellpottenger8584 We have a rockwell mini lite 2204s on order. Just the right size for me, my husband and our 2 havanese pups. 😊Hope to get it by September, but meanwhile learning all we can.
My wife and I are on our 4th fifth wheel. I retired last year and we went to Gulf Waters RV park in Port Aransas, Tx. We just bought our fourth fifth wheel a Cedar Creek 371FL. Last year fuel was 2.22 a gallon when we left. This year I wont be surprised if its 4.00. We live in Colorado and go south for 4 months. We love going but the cost of fuel is going to have a huge impact on RV life for all these people who have bought new RVs the last 18 months
We are seeing 3.28 for diesel. If the fuel gets too expensive it might be an argument for cutting costs elsewhere, such as more BLM stays or even driveway stays- moochdocking! Happy trails to you!
Would love to see how you organize your space and tips on how you maximize your square footage. Would love to see a video of how you set up when you arrive to stay for a 3 week stint. Would love to see a grocery or Costco haul as well. Do you ever cook/grill outdoors?
We just joined thousand trails 2 months ago. We stay 3 or 4 days and move on. It is a great deal. Another thing we use is boondockers welcome and harvest host. They take up the slack when we can't us thousand trails. Great video. Lynn and Danny
Hi Lynn and Danny! Yay, so glad you joined Thousand Trails. They really are the best deal out there, especially for fulltimers. We also use Boondockers, Harvest Host, RPI and Passport America. See you in a campground someday! Happy travels!
Just came back from a trip where my neighbor across from me in a state park, must've been work camping. He would leave everyday about 7:30 am and return around 4. He was in a one or two man dome tent. There's a 14 day limit at the park.
Getting too many out there to maybe enjoy? I have a whole lot of privacy at my home and an abundance of peace quiet and not too worried about theft and that makes it very difficult for me to join the circus. I know it seems to some us viewers we are missing out on something because it looks so good but the grass still has to be mowed wherever you reside. Many for sure claim it's the best and it is for some no doubt. Many Thanks!
Hi Jim! RV life is not for everyone, but don't believe the rumors and scare tactics put out by some of the other channels. It's not crowded out here, reservations, even last minutes ones, are easy to find. Read the comments backing us up under this video about how we made last minute reservations in Glacier: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aLoaURpt0Qo.html There's tons of peace and quiet and dark skies to go star gazing, depending where you camp. But it's all in what you like and what calls you. It sounds like you have it pretty good right where you are! We have plenty of viewers who are not interested in doing RV life but enjoy watching our channel. If that's you, you will find yourself in good company. By the way, there is actually a campground where everyone stays all summer and uses the camp-owned lawnmower to mow their own site. This is part of their rent agreement! Other than that, we've never heard of anyone needing to mow their own site at a campground. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
@@LizAmazing Good to hear Liz. Encouraging! Lots of variables that can make little or big differences. I go out a couple weeks a year in a RAV4 and that satisfies me. Many Thanks!
I snowbird in Arizona and California and boondock on BLM land using a Class B RV (23 ft). Love the desert! Being from Canada, I wasn't able to go down there past winter, but hopefully back at it this year. Cheers, Steve
Great video on the get to the full time life. We part time going every few weeks camping between numerous dog shows per year. Except we take off (stay home) two months in winter and summer due to weather. Wife wants to full time for a year hitting dog shows every weekend from coast to coast. Next year we might try it up and down the west coast and see how it works. Summer up in WA and winter in SoCal.
It sure is a fun place! We did a video featuring Campland, check it out: RV Life: What we learned about city camping | Pros & cons of urban campgrounds ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZUg2RS-2B4g.html
We finally bought into a full time campground just to store our camper and to go camping close by whenever we want. But there are many people there that have retired and live there half the year and the other half to traveling around or live at another site. Spots sell for around 8 to 15 thousand and then you pay 100 a month with loads of amenities.
We are Thousand Trails, full time with two to three weeks in a spot. Occasionally on a long travel day we are out of the system and sometimes we take what we call, vacation time, and go to a special destination. With our TT savings, we treat ourselves for a week or weekend. We love this lifestyle in our class A, 33 ft Jayco.
Yes! We splurge on campgrounds guilt-free because of how we save so much with Thousand Trails! Glad you are liking it, too! Looking forward to meeting you at a campground!
Beautiful backdrop. You two are sweethearts. Well my experience camping in BLM has not been a good experience here in California. If you do it in our area (Sierras) just stay in camp spot. Otherwise you come back from a day out exploring to find that thieves have robbed you blind while you were gone. Has happened twice to us so no thanks to that anymore. Amazing how roving thieves find all the spots. So sad.
Thanks Dar! You know Paul and I have wondered the same thing about boondocking. We don't know that we could ever leave our campsite. Now that we have cameras to alert us if someone crossed a perimeter, we may think about it some more. And thanks so much for your kind words. Here is our video about our RV cameras, by the way: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8RuTcESPjyU.html
@@pawpal1637 I think the folks that steal come into the campground as “campers,” at least in some cases. I’ve seen “neighbors” casing our place when they thought we were gone. My husband left, but I stayed back to take a nap. I was shocked!
Thanks for sharing definitely some helpful hints. We also like Thousand Trails. Eventually I would like for us to spend The wintertime down south and Summers up north.
I agree you just have to make up your mind whether you want to live or just exist. you have to pay rent water electric gas in a home so why not do it on the road. check out the options you want before EVER COMMITMENT to something like that. you can always go back into a house if it doesn't work out.
RV'ing definitely takes a certain mindset. Full time RV'ing even more. I never thought it was something "rich people" would do. I suppose with what seems like extreme pricing for RV's, a sizable investment is the norm. You always see these beautiful campsites displayed with the RV''ers sitting outside enjoying the view. What do you do the rest of the time. Get in your box on wheels and leapfrog to the next campsite.
We have had several campers from truck bed to trailers to class c. This spring we’re renovating our 2012 29ft ultra light trailer so we can use it this summer and fall. We rented it for several years (just a bad idea) and then two sets of kids lived on our driveway for about 4 years in it. We like desert camping the most.
I’d like to do a cross country trip at some point. We have a 28’ bumper pull RV our daughter and her family use more than we do. We are still working and half our home serves as our office. We tend to use our RV as a convenient rolling motel. I love being able to get into our own bed at night.
We bought our RV and truck to travel with our maiden voyage to Alaska and due to COVID, went from Nevada to the keys and now returning. We are thousand trails but did have issues getting into where we needed/wanted to go and ended up in a number of KOAs.
I have the thousand trails plan that allows for three week stay and one week out. I don’t have to leave the system. I have the adventure pass as well. The dues with the adventure pass is less than $100 a month. In the winter I’m in Southern California and I move every three weeks without paying rent. I keep it small with enough room for the the things I need. I have a Lance 1995 travel trailer that I tow with a Toyota Tacoma which gets reasonable gas mileage compared to larger RVs. I didn’t trust the price of fuel to stay low when I bought my setup and I was right. I think the secret to keeping RV life affordable for a retired person on a fixed income is to have everything paid for. That takes planning, but it’s doable. Some small things I do to save money is to hardly ever use my furnace. I use a small space heater to heat my trailer in the winter. Yes it gets cold enough at night in Southern California to need heat. I would rather use the parks electricity than my propane. I think RV life is generally less expensive than even having a paid for home. It’s not perfect. Nothing is but for those of us with a nomadic spirit it fits!
We hear such good things about Lance, and glad that you also have the Adventure pass! Wise words about living below your means, definitely the way to go!
I typically keep my travel trailer at campgrounds with all the amenities swimming pool laundry etc. most of the time monthly rates I still work full-time self employed contractor so I make my own schedule and can find work anywhere I want to go
I enjoy the few times we've camped (soon we will be doing more as time allows), and I agree with Liz, bad porta potties are not for me( I'd rather hop into the truck a drive to the nearest truck stop if need be.).
Will you be replacing your ebikes? Hubs has an ECells check them out! Dual motors, dual batteries, awd. Great customer service! Can't imagine being without ours. I just insured them after hearing of your theft's.
A membership person I guess you could say.. I buy a RV now I need a place to camp so I can enjoy it.. 1990's I started running into campgrounds with memberships required lots of them ... One Labor Day weekend I traveled the width of Washington state, found 0 openings by midnight I quit and stayed in a RR depot that rented rooms, that was an adventure that weekend... But I learned a lot..
The parting shot had me laughing! You sound exactly like my wife, couldn't pay her to use a "Blue Room", "Thunder Box" aka; Porta-potty. I've traveled the world and there have been times I would have gladly welcome one of those. You do what you gotta do. I guess it's a guy thing.... Great video, safe travels, looking forward to more!
We have been FTing for 3 years now and are avid boondockers. We have a 36ft National Tropical motorhome (that we got for only $15k in 2018.) It pulls a little Chevy Cobalt SS toad that gets 30+ MPG yet is still fun to drive. Sure the MH only gets about 7-8 mpg, (What kind of gas mileage does your house get - towing your car?) but we only drive it about 7,000 miles a year on average This $3k a year expense is entirely controllable. If we needed too, we could easily cut that in half without compromising our lifestyle. Not only do we save a ton of money on RV parks by boondocking most of the time, but we stay in some of the most beautiful wilderness areas imaginable, free, and often in complete solitude. In fact we just reviewed our finances and discovered how little we are actually spending in CG fees. After wintering over in a little $170 a month FHU RV park in TX this year, we hit the road in March and spent $70 so far in RV park/campground fees since April 1st. (It's now Sept 2nd.) That's not per month, that's total! We even found a nice free county campground near Falcon Lake, TX that allows unlimited stays. It has a a dump station and water hookups and even has free hot showers available, just no electric hookups. But with our solar and generator back-up this was not missed. We spent 2 weeks there till it got too warm, then we headed north through New Mexico into Colorado camping for free on Forest Service and BLM land at higher altitudes ( moving every week or two) where the weather has been so mild we haven't needed to run our air conditioners since we left TX. We just left Colorado and are now in Wyoming, but will be heading down though Utah and Nevada to winter over on BLM land in the Quartzsite/Yuma area his year. They have an exceptional deal at the long term visitor areas there, where you can stay all winter for only $180 without having to move every 14 days - plus you can travel between the 5 LTVA areas whenever you like. This LTVA fee (that comes to less than $1 a day) includes unlimited water, dump and trash disposal. Now that we're retired and living on social security our income is less than 1/2 of what it was when we were working and living in a S&B. However we are able to save more money than we ever have, living this lifestyle and enjoying life to the fullest, as we're spending less than 1/3 of what we used to. We go wherever we want, eat what we want, etc. I highly recommend getting the America the Beautiful Senior pass, if you qualify, for free NP entry and more importantly 1/2 price camping at FS, NP and Army COE campgrounds. We don't belong to any RV clubs other than Escapees for their affordable roadside assistance program (that fortunately we haven't had to use yet) and FMCA for their $50 a month unlimited data WiFi plan.
We supposed to start next year and we’re going to do it 6 to 7 months intervals so that my wife and I can be back home with our grandchildren in the summer
I also agree with what you are saying. My thoughts now though are how far north will you have to go to find those cooler Temps in the coming years? We live in North Idaho and I think this summer has been just a foreshadowing of the summers to come. First EVER temps to over 100 for this area for several weeks! A "normal" summer used to be 70s and 80s for almost all summer then a week of 90s at some point during late July or August. So far this summer it has been 90s the bulk of the time with the two weeks of record heat. And even winters, we used to average 6 feet of snow over a winter. The last three years have been dryer and dryer, last winter we only had inches of snow, not feet! The thing is, the high pressure bubble causing the heat over the pacific northwest is the same problem in winter with all the winter storms staying up in Canada then coming down in Montana and south and east, recall the snow in Texas last year? At least by traveling, you could keep it in that 70s zone all year, it's just going to become a lot harder to accomplish that goal I think over the next decade. We are not planning on full-time living just long-time living. We recently spent a lot of money to get a solar charging system installed on our 5th wheel, it is prep for our long-timing adventures that start next year. You guys have had quite a challenging 2021 so far! We hope it can only go up from here!
As you guys probably already know, we live full-time in our outback. We have our self built tiny house in the woods (mt Rainier) and we also have a small trailer that's only 3,500 lbs. Plus we still like tent camping once in awhile.
@@LizAmazing we live full time in Vancouver, Wa and drive weekly up to our tiny house in Mt Rainier. We pass their silver creek each time. Beautiful area!
Well my type of RV is a tent. If you're at a campground in New York a state Campground you could always stay for two weeks and you have to move on to the next New York state campground or wherever
Great video! Maybe you could do a video comparing the camper/RV options. I see you guys live large, maybe you could explain how you got to the point where that's the size of choice, and what are the plus and minuses of different size options for long term RV-ing. I've never stayed in anRV, but I always thought a good option might be a camper on my parent Dodge diesel 1 ton Flat bed because we own the truck, but the bed seems to be big enough to allow for a decent size house on the 10 foot bed. But then again, I'd like to hear what you guys like based on your experience. I could still take my Luna X-1 as my run-about and gor recreation I was thinking.
Oooh, I sure miss my Luna!!! Paul did threaten to toss it in the dumpster more than once because of the maintenance (chain, sprocket,s cassette). Sigh. And that is an EXCELLENT idea regarding comparing the different size options. With everything there is a compromise. Definitely look into truck campers, I had one as my first camper. I did a video a while back comparing the different types of RVs, watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-clPVWVFnQ2k.html
Boondocking is the only way to go. You will love it and it’s so much cheaper and not next to anyone which is the best part for me. If I want to camp next to someone I will stay in the city.
Indeed. Jeannie says she can't sit up even in her rig. She plans on having her bed lowered so that she can. I think it's pretty inspiring that she has found a way to get out here and do RV life bc it called her that much. Mostly she spends her time (on not rainy days) in her car or at the picnic table.
It's expensive in Texas. RVs are inflated if you can find them. I thought I'd retire at the coast, but the RV sites are higher than living in an affluent neighborhood.
I like to go off now and then in my little Ford Transit Connect to BLM land... like Las Cienegas near Sonoita, AZ, by the Empire Ranch. And also to State land, but you need a $15/year permit, no big deal. Off-road, it is all very peaceful. Most of the RVers stick to the paved roads, it seems. Biggest danger out our way is parking under a cottonwood and having a 1,000-lb branch fall on you. For me - two, maybe three nights, then back to home.
We are a family of 3 adults👣 and 1 dog🐾 living full-time RV life on the Coast of Oregon in 🌊Winchester Bay at Salmon Harbor RV park paying $450 per month with full hookups!!🌴 (1984 Itasca Winnebago class A motorhome)💙 #davesandersstepdaughter
thousand trails are great campsites, but my grandparents ended up in a situation with them having an annual membership they cannot get out of even after they stop RVing!
They can sell their membership. There is a company that deals in those types of sales. I don't remember the name but can probably even find video of that company on YT.
I just don't want to buy into the idea of a time share as Thousand Trails is that type of a concept. And these days, it's hard to get reservations in those parks. I wish RV/Campgrounds would stop caving into the corporate market who are buying them up and slapping on "Membership" camping, who give priority to those that paid according to the level of the membership they purchased (elite anyone?). And IF there are a few open spots, well then you are VERY lucky. We looked at the open spots in a few of those TT and they were least desirable. Resale of your TT is very limited, too.
I'm retired but not where I wanna be yet because we don't have the cash. We will have the cash about 3 hundred thousand dollars that's coming to us at a future date. The choice is to buy land on the water for fishing or buy an rv/trailer to travel. Problem is we don't drive big cars. We own a Smart car, smallest legal car recently sold in the US and a motor scooter. We have no desire to drive anything bigger. The car won't handle the weight of even a Runaway and we'd still need to bring the scooter. I guess we'll just buy the land and live vicariously through folks like you. LOL
My first camper was a pop up truck camper. After going to the campground bathroom in the middle of the night- in the pouring rain, I upgraded to a Class C with a bathroom!
You say if you drive around in you truck when you are staying for longer at camp grounds you fuel is not that good, I have a one ton long bed Duramax 2015 and not pulling my 5th wheel I get 23 MPG out on the road and 16 to 18 average town and road and I also have a 2017 Ford Edge and I am lucky to get 19 MPG at best. When I pull my 16K trailer I range 10 to 12 MPG so unless you have a tiny car getting 30 MPG i think my truck does ok.
Usually the first thing people ask. How much did your trailer and truck cost. Usually surprised that I spent only $45k on new 2018 5th wheel (KZ 315rkd) $15k on truck (2004 Chevrolet 2500 4wd crew with 496/Allison 46k original miles) . With low investment I prefer parks with 50amp and water. Saving thousands not buy solar/lithium. Good solar package is $5k +. How many nights can I stay in parks for $5k.
As a single female thinking about doing this at retirement at 59, next year. Would you say that a campsite like Thousand Trails is significantly safer than BLM and park land? I can’t remember where you were at when your bikes were stolen. I’m a new subscriber. I do like the idea of amenities who doesn’t like a little luxury. I had thought about doing a small van build and doing solar. Glad to have a different perspective on it. Hope you guys aren’t beating yourself up over your bikes. I’m still annoyed that that happened to you.
@@janiswilliams2766 We love the fact that Thousand Trails has and enforces rules, like quiet time and picking up after your dog. We don't have direct BLM experience but have heard stories. It sounds like the wild wild west where anyone can show up and party, do target practice, and just go all out however they want. Also, most TT campgrounds are gated. We were in a TT/KOA that was not gated.
Have you guys thought about hosting state parks . I folks who do it . Does pay , but can stay a month at a time free / sorta . You trade time 4 hrs a day 5 days a week . No rent !
Yeah, we've heard people doing that. Paul is retired and RU-vid is keeping me too busy to do that though! It's really great that there are so many options for folks to make money on the road.
It definitely takes planning and budgeting. We are impressed with Jeannie. I know when I started out solo it took some time to realize how much I would be spending on repairs (more than I'd budgeted) gas (more than I'd budgeted) and upgrades such as a cellular booster. I found my second year was a better year to gauge expenses as I'd already done most of the upgrades and repairs. We do meet people doing it on a shoestring so we know it's possible!
@@LizAmazing yes it can really vary especially if you are boondocking or volunteering, which we are currently camp doing for the entire summer. One way or another we will manage. We went full-time 2 yrs ago and both winters we spent in Florida, which is really expensive. Now that we are hunkered down and not blowing money on gas & rv resorts its better. It cost a couple grand in fuel alone to travel from the east coast back to the west coast.
We are not campers to quote some other RU-vid friends we are tourists and we love 50 amp concrete pads sewers etc. Poor Throughs are not important to me as I still have the ability to back up! We love the forest we love the trees but bring us our water and electricity! Thomyt
We dreamed of staying in Montana in the summer since we have lived in Texas our whole working lives and have now retired. We thought we would be breathing cool mountain air and looking at grand vista's while living in a rv park on the edge of town. What we found was it still gets into the 90s in the day and forest fires mean the air quality is poor and you can't see the mountains because of the smoke. Missoula is growing and crowded ,traffic is just like Houston the trains run by the park day and night . We have found our perception is often much different from the reality and while the concept of following the weather is still a good
I live in Texas as well in the Summers get pretty rough and they last a lot longer than other places. Pretty much June through October it's pretty warm. I just have to keep searching and find that spot that you want to be at in the summer months. Maybe some higher elevation ?
Bummer. We recorded this video in Montana, up by Glacier. But yes, fires can move in during the summer and mess everything up. Definitely read reviews to make sure campgrounds are quiet and not near trains, etc.
I have been a what y'all call a blm camper my hole life. Have lived in Idaho for ever. I love Blm camping. I do like camp grounds when the wife and I road trip. Alot of people here do camp hosting in the different mountains. Get free spot and amendments for free. For cleaning camp grounds after the weekend crowd.
It's good to mix it up as there are pros and cons each way. We ourselves have done little boondocking but hope to do more soon. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for such a spectacular video. My wife and I are currently in the planning process to begin our full-time life with our little girl very soon. Due to health issues we would be forced to stay in an area that may be Florida. I do not know if you can show us an example using the thousands trails membership on what could be a style of route adapted to our needs in Florida for at least a full year. Thank you and big success for you.
I boondocked one winter in Quartsite because it was on my bucket list. I like amenities, water,electricity and sewer hook ups! Boondocking is a lot of work.😜
Not that I know of but I don’t know what you have. I know you can’t sleep in your car, but tents are allowed in designated areas. Call Eric to be sure: 🌲 Thousand Trails: Eric Benson call: 541.527.0140 or email: eric_benson@equitylifestyle.com (Plz mention Liz Amazing)
We love BLM land. If you don’t mind paying a small fee for a 2 week pass. The pay as you go areas include garbage bins, water, and tank dump services. The BLM land near Quartzite in Arizona (La Poza) is walking distance to the town.
