Talk about nostalgia! Reminds me of my first "RV," a 1960 retired VW panel van that had been used as a janitorial supply truck and smelled like it. With a tailwind that baby would top out at 45 mph. But the feeling of freedom was fantastic and the mileage was great!

Why do you use the word apparently... Isn't it quite obvious?

If he is camping out of a bread truck he must be short on dough.



OH MY GOD, did he get permission from the CO police for his wood stove?!!!!

Apparently, no. The Raleigh newspaper article only briefly mentioned you maintaining a website, without giving the readers the website address. I had to google what info they did provide, in order to locate it.

Curious, how do you maintain it from your truck? It's a well maintained website with the videos, photos, updates and all.

Thanks

Yeah it was annoying they didn't list the site in the article but I think later in the day they did however add a related link (hard to see) to the right side of the article. I have high speed cellular internet access. It's a lot of work keeping it up to date. RV.net seems pretty cool. It's the first time I've been on it.
