Hey Billy!   I sold my 1979 Shasta to buy a 1982 Honda Nighthawk cb750sc.  I did some custom metalwork to hold my external-frame backpack on the back.  I've put on about 2500 miles on my 'Lifetour' so far!

Hi!  Ironic i haven't been on here in a very long time but saw your post today!  I'm traveling the country on my motorcycle and am also in the Asheville area! (Black Mountain right now)  I was staying in Swannanoa at the KOA campground and I know they have work-camping there.  I asked if I...

Goodness it's been a while since I've been on here!  Unfortunitly I have since sold my RV for a motorcycle, and have been full-timing on that for the past 7 months!  Hope all is well with everyone!

Excellent.  Thank you very much guys!

Hey there!  I was wondering how to tell what gallon size my freshwater tank is.  I've located it under the bunk beds but do not know how big it is.  I have a 79' Shasta Mini on a Chevy C-30 1 ton van chassis.  I also have not been able to locate my hot water tank...  I feel like a total newbie!

I worked for a company in NYC who used them on their box trucks.  I would turn it off unless backing up because the screen would flicker and jump around; which was a big distraction while trying to drive in the city.  One of the trucks had their back up system rigged so that the screen only...

  As a 23 year old I feel like I may be able to help your question Carson.  And same, no rudeness intended.  I feel like "kids these days" almost know more of what they want than some adults.  I am in the same boat as the original Poster; I dread thinking about working all my life only to pay...

Yes the flooding up here is quite intense.  I live next to the Housatonic River, the largest N-S running river in the east of CT and it's very high!  I'll post some pictures tomorrow!

  :D Sorry, CT is Connecticut,  Northeast part of the US. (New England)

I agree, at this point I'll take all the rain we can get over snow.  I need some green colors and sunshine!

I hope I'm posting this in the right spot.  That some was serious weather we had in the Berkshire Hills of CT last night!  The wind was wiping up to around 50mph with drenching rains!  The tarp on my Shasta decided to take a parachute ride into the woods even though it was being held down by...

Hey Ron,   I like your shots!  What kind of camera do you use?  We've got a week left till the official spring here on the east coast, and the flowers are just starting to show some life!  Snowbells and Snowdrops are some of my favorites, below are a couple pictures.  (Not mine but still nice...

      Just curious because I'm new to Rv's and I just re-caulked my windows and edges...  Why wouldn't you want to caulk the bottom of the windows, or is that just in Ruth & Ken's case?  Should I remove the caulk that I added to the bottom of my windows? 

I've personally wanted to be 'on the road' since I read Jack Kerouac's book On The Road when I was about 14.  I dream of seeing new places every morning, new people and cultures throughout the US...  I had always envisioned hitch hiking and roughing it out and then I realized, Hey, that's what...

Maybe you and your wife should write a book so your kid can more easily gain your knowledge!  ;)
