rubber tramping

Friend of ours in Nevada has a RV she's giving us. She and her husband were gonna use it but they both got sick and plans changed. She has the title ready for us to change hands I just have to fix it and add a few new things then it's mine.

I have a compact car with around 130k miles. I'm wondering if there's anything you all regularly pay attention to in your cars that aren't the typical things like oil check or tire pressure to stay proactive on any issues that might arise.

I have everything packed..have about a weeks worth of food, got the sleeping bag, water filters..all that jazz. Yet... I can't get myself to go. I know a few good hop-outs. Idk if because the weather is gonna be changing or I'm just scared. Any advise helps.

Hey ya’ll I’m Jackson. Been a long time scroller on here, posted an introduction awhile back but I felt an urge to post again and hopefully connect with some fellow travelers. A bit about myself, I’m 26 yrs old, bisexual, gender non-conforming anarchist punk from OC. Been kickin it in San Diego...

I'm on probation and was hoping there would be a thread for travelers on probation. I am very lonely and suicidal and am looking to speak with people landlocked by the man. I wanted to ask what makes it better and to find local spots and other travelers in the area who are also on probation

My partner just bought an 89 ford flair RV. She runs great, if a little rough around the edges on the inside. Our plan is to do some repairs and fix up the inside and be on the road within a few months. We will be full time, staying in the PNW area. I've squatted and done some vanlife and...

It would be my first time truck dwelling in Canada...What are the places to look for as far as truck camping/parking in that area?

Hi i’m Sofi! Let be honest every day I just dream about driving/scurrying off into the sunset. Been thinking about it every day since I gained consciousness. When I was 15 I bought a 1988 Chevy bus in the hopes of converting it. Let’s just say I vastly overestimated my mechanical ability and...

I'm planning to travel from AZ to Van to get to a couch to sleep on :D. So planning to drive up the westside of the US. I've done this before but it was a bit more rushed and I wasn't as broke and resourceless. I will be car camping the whole way, but also have a tent for dispersed campsites...

Hi! I’m introducing myself a lil late. Oops! My name is Lyd & I’m currently living in Boise, planning on rubber tramping in late March early April. I’ll probably do that for about 4 months, then who knows! Let’s link up :)

Hey, all. Looking forward to getting involved a little here. I’ve been living in vehicles about 3 years. Spent time up and down the west coast, southern CA desert, Arizona, and the Midwest. I just got to Georgia about a week ago, having left San Diego in October. The travel bug is well fed for...

Hey everyone! I'm kalefice, or Eric, and I'm getting ready to hit the road in my SUV in the next couple months. I'll be a greenhorn, so I love that there is so much info on rubber tramping and that sort of thing here. I've made some friends during the pandemic who are travelers that I hope to...

My name is Colby. I am from Chattanooga TN and still have family and resources there. I've been traveling with my wife and our little dachshund Callie in a converted work van since 2019. Overall traveling has been extremely beneficial for us but not without difficulties. Since 2019 we have...

Hey there! I've been lurking this site for years now dreaming of the freedoms of living on the road and in July of this year I finally took the leap. My partner and I sold or gifted away most of our belongings, left our home in Portland, Oregon, and hit the road in our 93 Chevy Van after doing a...

Pit stop at the papitos house to put these bug nets on. Yes, they're very fucking janky but if it works it works, amirite? $6CAD exterior window netting from Canadian Tire and Gorilla tape $4CAD

When I was a kid, I remember school myths of “the hobo in the woods”, and we’d all snoop around this chainlink fence by the woods searching for this imaginary hobo, that probably never existed. Ironically, I am now that hobo. Except I’m not camped out by an elementary school. (That would be...

First trip sense I got the van. South Florida to Oakland California. Freecampsites.net was my best friend. Tried to camp off grid in the woods/mountains every night, but if I was not looking for camp by like 6-7pm I'd usually say fug it get some drink an park it in front some apartments. No cops...

hey folks ~ Does anyone know of any good farm spots to work at / park at in the southern states? Or out west? (Areas like Virginia, the carolinas, new orleans, texas, arizona, new mexico, colorado... Time frame is this upcoming November to March. Traveling by van. Temp work in exchange for van...

Hey there! Im a musical being that can make money pretty easily on the streets as well as having about 1k passive income a month, so let me know all of you van/rv owners that have an extra bed and want endless gas or maintenance money- I gotchu! I also want to go to South America and I am on...

Man, idk where else to put this. I’ve been on the road for some time. I’m antisocial by nature, very introverted. Rarely do people approach me and I’m getting lonely of it. I want to say something when I see someone but I don’t. People drive by laughing together in their cars and it stings. I...
