Homeless Campers - How To Live - Formerly Homeless

Well, it has been a while since anyone posted here. I lived in an 18' TT for about 5 weeks and it was not fun. I moved from TN to AZ for a job and thought we would try out fulltiming in the TT. We wanted to do it for a year and save all kinds of money, but after just one month it was getting on my nerves and my wife's nerves too. While it was a great idea, we went and rented a place 1950 SF 2BdRM 2 Bth with attached garage and a nice big arizona room. Talk about a relief....whew....I am glad to be out of the TT. We still have it...in storage at the campground and will use it for vacations, etc but, never to live in on a permanent basis. The good part of all this is I have a very good and secure job.

Best wishes to all of you here on the thread and I truly hope everything works out for you.

@GJohnson Uh, if you're at a place where it's possible to use a tarp, it likely doesn't matter whether or not you're seen. If it does, get rid of the tarp!!

speaking of blue tarps. here is a google map of haiti, and you can zoom in until you see the rooftops. all of those little flat top tin roof matchboxes! and yes you can see the blue tarps on the camped out earthquake survivor tents of those who are now homeless. Zoom in on Port Au Prince, that's where they are at.

speaking of tarps. i have bought tarps that are actually woven, they let water through. so the thing i would buy is a roll of thick plastic , i guess the black kind. it goes a lot further than a tarp too. you could actually cut off large pieces to put over belongings also. not that i am homeless right now, i thank God. I so feel for anyone who needs one, who is outside and all. If i had my way, every person who wanted one, would have at least a small indoor space to call home, even if they have no money.

Dont buy a blue tarp they are too easy to see. Put branches and weeds over your camp,and don't come to it the same way always.

Klingon clocking devices can be useful.

Hello Everyone! I've been joining groups all day and this one really hits home! I'm a single mom of 1 child, 1 15yr. old cat, 1 2yr. old German Sheppard mix dog. I only made alittle over $8,000 last year so I wouldn't be leaving any financial stablility if I converted to this lifestye. I HAVE THOUGHT of packing up and home schooling my daughter "on the road" my ONLY real worry is what kind of person will she grow up to be if I do this, AND.... HOW IN THE HECK CAN I AFFORD IT? I know GOD always provides and I can always come back to my hometown. How do I afford to make trips back home? I will pray about this but, as we all do... I would like any suggestions, lessons learned, or information about any topics related to the idea! PLEASE

I am seriously thinking about looking for an older motor home and having it redone by a school next year and selling this van. By the time I get done fixing it up I will have a fortune in it! And still will not be able to tow a big enough camper with it! Any ideas to what I should be looking for in an RV???

:confus ed:: eek:

I go nuts in a 1 bedroom apt hehehehe Yes I remember that mess! Thats 1 reason I want get the biggest this van can handle safely & I can afford. Some of the older ones around here are selling for $500 which I can do in 2 easy payment. Some are in decent shape for ther age!
