All the posts with hints & tips about backing up (especially into campground spaces) talk about working with your spouse/partner. Well, since we travel solo there isn't someone to guide us from the back. I realize that backup cameras help but how do you do it? I've thought, especially while lear...

Since this has been started in the introduction thread, thought I'd get it started in it's own. Solo travelers may feel intimidated by all the couples/families out their traveling & camping. What is your style? How do you fit in? How do you find the campgrounds that suit your style? For me it's eas...

How do solo rv'ers cope with filling water tanks & emptying them? I remember in the 70's going out with my brother & his wife in their motor home, and she poured something in the toilet from inside while he worked with the hoses outside the MH. I thought it was pretty gross back then, so I didn't...

So what's everyone up to? Where are you....let's stay in touch. For me, not much on the newsfront. The house is still being shown, no offers. Do have one young couple that MIGHT be interested, hoping to hear more this week. Slowly weeding out clothes....I had NO IDEA of the amount of clothing I had stash...

Well, I'm still in the house....barely. My neighbor will be over today or tomorrow to finalize what she is buying. Then I can put any last pieces of furniture on the local sales trader (online). I have 90% of my stuff moved to The Lily Pad but not put away. The last major piece is the office stuff and I find I...

Yup, I put down a deposit on a motorhome today. I hope to be able to get it within the next week to 10 days. I'm so excited!! It's a 1999 Fleetwood Tioga, 26', has the Ford V-10 Triton engine and is on the Ford F-450 chassis which gives me over 2800# of carry capacity and 5000# of tow capacity. It has new Pergo f...

Well, my Harley went to his new home today...talk about a bittersweet moment. The funds will go to purchase my starter RV. I'm scheduled to look at a local 33' Holiday Rambler that I really like (except it's SO BIG...<g>). If I like what I see, then we'll schedule a professional inspection at an R...

I started a topic similar to this in rv.net and received many responses. Since we're all Soloing, I'm just curious on where (city/state) all the solos RVers are hanging out right now and what type of place (State Park, RV Park, Boondocking)? I'm in Huachuca City, Arizona (southeast region of A...

Hi All! Just wanted to let you know that I created a permanent "Solos" room on the RV-Dreams Live Chat Room. If you need any assistance, just ask.

I'm an almost 60 y/o lady with some arthritis and no upper body strength. I plan on getting a toy hauler for my motorcycle. I've found that the bumper pull trailers are much less expensive (something I have to consider) but wondering about the ease of hookups, leveling, backing up, etc. since I have no p...

So, how many of us solos do much cooking? Living at home and working I find it easier to NOT cook. Breakfast is cereal and fruit or yogurt (with an occasional bagel as a treat). Lunch is often the pre-packaged chicken salad on crackers or else yogurt (if I didn't have it for breakfast). Fruit or bran snack...

Hi fellow Soloist, I thought that another area that might have special concerns/problems for us solo RVers is the different ways we prepare for the contingency of something happening to us on the road. Who is there to check up on us and if incapacitated, how to we relate contact information to those...
