| Re: Fulltiming | back2life | Gentlemen, say hello to this fifty-six year old divorced women, originally from Chandler ,Arizona but currently living in Killeen, Texas, and will be moving once again to Missouri in near future.I am a reddish blonde of German descent, a little taller than average, and body weight is average - though still considered a looker by my male friends. I have recently mastered the art of balancing my life, and am now looking to fill the emotional void left by my one-year-old divorce. I am looking for a single gentleman between fifty and sixty who loves the Rv lifestyle,or even better full time RV’ing and is financially secure. I would prefer, physically fit gentlemen .If you see yourself in this description, and are interested in meeting please contact me.
I am still an avid RV enthusiast…my dream gallery in my thoughts still consist of wildlife, the scenery, and the camaraderie…the RV life style brings. My weekly thoughts of spending time traveling and meeting new people and experiencing the RV fun once again. The Alaskan wilderness that had just touched me so much….is what made my desire to escape the rat race became even stronger and I knew making the decision to become a full time RV’er was the right life style for me ! Now a days I have mini-depression with the "what if" thoughts…if I can’t overcome many financial barriers that could pop-up, now that I am divorced and single again….will I be able to afford to live life single on the road and make enough to secure a full time RV live style on my own? And hopefully I will be able to secure a job at a RV resort. Everywhere people are starting to re-think what is important in their lives...my thoughts are it’s kinda cool being single and my DREAM is STILL ALIVE |
| Re: Formaldehyde in RVs | Capitalkid_1 | Thank God for this site.
My family and I are in our first Mobile Home Rental. It is a 1969 Pre-Hud Home, and every bit a safety hazard as the trailers.
We did a full inspection of the home last week and found multiple code violations and health and safety code issues with it. We wrote up a report and had it sent to our property management. The results are in and we are getting let out of our lease and this house is not going to be listed for rent again by them. I am sure the Landlords are bent, but they should not be renting this hazard trap out, not for 800.00 a month anyway-Maybe 300.00 with a disclosure.
We have all had issues, mine had to due with eyesight changes that came out of nowhere, 7 day headaches, sinus issues, ect.
There is an add-on in this trailer,and one night after the Forced Air Unit Broke down we all had to move into the Add-On to keep warm with the Cadet Heater in the wall. We stayed in there for 3 days all total before we got our first load of wood and moved back into the house with the Woodstove.
My Son now refers to that room as the "Sneezing Room". My husband has asthma and has since he was a kid and therefore does not notice health changes quite as much as we do because he somewhat under the weather all the time.
However my son and I do not ordinarily have health concerns and I got the scratchy throat, low grade fever, (so did the boy) and it took about 3 days for the symptoms to go away after we moved back into the house. Another thing I noticed was the boy was not breathing right for a few days.
Quite Scary.
Fast forward a week, so we look into the option of going full timing again and buying a bigger rig. So after a few calls and a few visits to RV Dealers in town, I Googled Rv "Health and safety hazards". What I turned up was this and many other sites listed on and on and on.
I was in shock, i thought this type of carelessness was only practiced Pre-Hud.
Well, needless to say we decided right away after a day of reading that we would not be buying a new Rv now or ever.
In April of 2010 we bought a 1977 KIT Kamper for 500.00. We then turned around adn tore it down, and re-built it from the ground up with all new hardware. This thing is tight. We located all the wood paneling through Lowes certified free of Formaldehyde that came from a Manufacturer up in Washington somewhere. It was just 4-5$ more than the formaldehyde based fiber. As well, all the cabinets that went back in were replaced with wood, the skeletons of the inside and outside as well. The only thing we did not do was the birth itself.
So, now in light of this, as we know that not ANY of the RV Dealers or Companies can be trusted, we have spread out a plan to build our own travel trailer, be it 4-5 years down the road, that is what it be.
We stayed at a KOA In Corvallis Oregon for 2 months and during the time we were there, there was a couple in the next row over that had serious health issues.
The women was sweet and nice, said they had been full-timing in their 5'r for 8 years. During the 2 months we were there the Ambulance came about 11 times for the wife due to breathing problems and out of the 11 times 4 times she went to the hospital and then returned.
Funny thing about that is after 4 days out of the Rv, which is about how long she was gone each time, she began to heal and thus was released and thus returned to her RV, where she got sick again.
I am a Certified Nutritional Consultant, not thats that is any big deal, but I do know a thing or two about personal nutrition. During that whole time I would visit with her and chit chat,and as far as I could tell she was practicing good food choices. But it wasn't enough.
I never knew of the implications of the Rv Industry. If I had known then what I know now, I would have told her to move into a house. I have emailed the Camp host requesting to know if they are still booked in there, and if they are I am going to print out this chat and send it to her and her husband.
God bless everyone who speaks up. |
| Re: Fulltiming | DDS | LUXE, If you put "solo women rv" into google, you will get pages and pages of the info you are looking for. I know there is "club" for women who solo out there but can't find it right off. It had stay recomends, get togethers and maintainence info. dtraveld48@yahoo.com 11/11/11 hmm interesting date today isn t it. |
| Re: Fulltiming | Luxe | Hey there! I am a single woman of 44 who is preparing to undertake the RV lifestyle -- and I was wondering if it is common for women to head out solo as I am planning to do. Since I am just learning about RVing, I would love any pointers or info from other women who have RVed alone. Yes, it would be awesome to have a delightful, intelligent, hilarious + entertaining gentleman (besides my dog) to RV with, but I think it's best NOT to wait around for that to happen. lol
If there are any women out there who have tips for a female noob RVer, I would sure love the input. There is a lot to learn, and I am psyched! |

| Re: Fulltiming | Restless Wanderer | Hello! I am traveling with a friend around Central and South America this winter and we would love to join someone on their RV journey! We are both young women interested in nature as well as exploring city life. My particular interests are in ruins, cultural exploration and waterfalls but I generally love every moment of traveling. I have studied in Santiago, Chile and traveled a bit around South America (among about 30 other countries that I've traveled to and 3 others that I've studied in) so I am excited to return to the region and get to know it better. I'm looking for a thrilling adventure before I continue on to graduate school! Feel free to ask me and my friend anything. You may contact us at loveisallyouneed87@yahoo.com |
| Re: Fulltiming | c | Obviously Robert, you are an angry man besides being desparate, and, also, your messages are mean. You should post a picture of yourself instead of demanding 3 pictures of women responding to your ad. No one who has a brain will respond to you, by the way. And, another thing, you showed all of us what kind of loser you are. This is the last you will hear from me, loser. |
| Re: Fulltiming | Jonathan | Just tired of full time RVing alone. I am 5'10" male 180 lbs. on the slim to average 58 yr old retired man that is free to travel any place and share with a woman that is wanting to share the same ideas together. Would like a woman that is slim to average 48 to 62. At this time (9/18/11 ) I am in Washington State on an Island in the Puget Sound near Canada, for those beautiful women in BC. If you are up for travel and adventure give it a try and send me a note and we can send photos.
The email is wt84737@yahoo.com |

| Re: Fulltiming | Ann | As soon as I posted here....I started getting bombarded with SPAM and regular email from women in Africa....(sad stories all)...other women and men saying I had won the lottery...was left $$$...owed by government...etc...come on now...I have a SPAM filter and it stays turned on...
How do these people get access to this site...I mean ..isn't there a way to STOP them.. |
| Re: Fulltiming | Amy | WOW...so much for pushing the insert button....thought it was to add a pic or something...
Looking for Male/Female travel companions...for part time to start
I posted on here last year..and was bombarded by men??...that were more interested in SEX than just a companion for traveling and just enjoying each others company...I will say that that has it's place just like anything else..if it happens..it happens...
I just turned 60.....am nice looking..5ft. 9 1/2 ins..and 150lbs..take care of myself..
I do live on a small monthly Social Security check..so my spending after bills is a little limited...BUT..I can help a little with expenses and food..and of course do the cooking and cleaning and help in setting up and all..
In the past I did have a 30ft. bus conversion and a 30ft..5th wheel (but the 5th wheel I just lived in in it after I sold my house..never traveled in it...but it was nice...
I like outdoor things...fishing, teach me to hunt..ride motorcycles and 4 wheelers..off the beaten path..museums..big boats..just having a good time with someone else..
I do love antiques and flea markets..just about anything old..
Last time I posted I got emails from guys that ..not meaning to sound mean to anyone...but I really would not want to travel with them at all...they had old vans...old RVs that needed work...tents...etc..that is not exactly what I am looking for ..I want to have a good time and not have to worry about the vehicle breaking down on us all the time..
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty..and will help you in any way I can if need be..
I do like animals...miss my black lab..and having another kitty..
Men/women...I make a good companion.. I am kind of laid back and easy to get along with..I can be witty once you get to know me..but I do have a little comprehension problem sometimes as I am HARD of hearing..
I will keep your RV neat and tidy...as I try to keep myself...I do not care for SLOBS or really overweight people (sorry again)..
I do not smoke or do drugs and only will drink to be social..
I live in the Dakotas...and would like to go any place South of say.. Kansas for the winter months...
I am open to try new things and experiences..and love new adventures..

See ya..

| Re: Fulltiming | Robert | I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to get intouch with the single females out on the road already or some that want to RV full time but have no means to RV as of yet. I am just about ready to hit the road and would love to find a compaitable (Female) mate to get to know real well and see if we would hit it off in the romance department and end up being lifetime travel partners. I have tried the average date sites out their on the market and can't seem to find any women who's interest are in the direction of fulltiming like i would like to do. Also if i were to just go it alone does anyone think their would be the possibility of maybe meeting someone out on the road perhaps. Please feel free to contact me at joehawk57@yahoo.com if anyone has any ideas. Thank you all in advance for any suggestions you can provide. |

| Advice about camping wanted from single women | NC Teacher | Thinking of covering the U.S. the summers of 2012-2014 and purchasing a new Ford Ranger and a lightweight camper for the trips. Thinking of buying the truck and camper the end of the summer and doing several short trips during school vacations to get used to setting it up, towing it, etc.
When my husband was alive, we would tent camp. I camped in a truck as a child. But to be quite honest, I am clueless about leveling, dumping, etc. I want to give my son wonderful memories of camping. I don't feel safe tent camping with just the two of us. I rented a trailer for 3 weeks several years ago that was already set up at a campground and had a blast.
What I would like is advice from other single women about camping --and especially camping with their child or children.
We are planning to travel for 5-6 weeks of our 8-week break in the summer and several 3-4 mini vacations during the school year. |
