Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Girly Girl on Living in a Camper Van
Permalink  

This is a totally funny, real life video where a van dwelling guy has a female friend inspect his rig before he brings his girl friend in. (Valley girl voice) "Ooooo! What is this? Do you really need it? Why? It's disgusting, it's going in the trash... "

She is a little over the top for my taste but what I found fascinating were the other links on the side to full-time van living as I had no idea so many were living full-time in vans. I have always been attracted to anything in "miniature" and ultra-efficiency so I found myself clicking and watching several of them while bookmarking some for my husband to view. I had once not long ago subscribed to a blog by someone living full-time in a van but found the lifestyle a little "rustic" for my taste. I used to love the the line in A-liners ads "No boundaries" and that has stuck in my head for years because that describes what I want even though I have my doubts about full-timing in an A-liner. Also considered the little fiberglass trailers. With the price of gas, maybe I should dust off the tent!

It's funny, how girls notice things guys don't. The best small living option might be a 4X4 truck camper. But I guess for urban areas, vans are best "Van dwelling" definitely seems to be more of a "guy thing".

LOL! By looking at her face and resistance to touch things, what the heck did that van look like on the 1st run thru? Yuck.

12 minutes of video is a lot to use on my cellular internet, so I didn't watch it.

Knowing some female geologists, it is not just boys who collect rocks. Then there is the classic RV movie, "The Long, Long Trailer", where Lucille Ball's character collects big rocks to remember everywhere they travel.

True, true. I remember that movie, let me guess, she collects all these big rocks, and they over weigh the trailer, and/or start flying around, breaking stuff? That is a classic, I should see if I can get it on Amazon, or maybe there are clips on You Tube.

Oh, "The Long, Long Trailer", one of my top 5 favorite movies of all times. I had it in VHS and was on the list forever waiting for it to come out in DVD and finally, it did. I so fondly remember Lucy and Desi, have dolls and paper dolls of them also. I know this clip was met to be comical but in reality, it reminded me of things like when people say "Oh, you have dogs. What kind?" and I tell them, "A Chow- Australian Shepherd mix and a Yellow Lab." Then, I get said in a yucky way, "Oh, you have BIG dogs."

On the rocks in the movie though, I thought the way she was talking about it with the guy that was supposed to be helping her get rid of them, that if you just distributed them seemed some what valid and I could probably have talked myself into that to save my special rocks. But, I guess you have the GVWR of the trailer and the car (I wish I had that car!) and the movement is what ultimately became the biggest issue, I think.

Have you seen "RV" with Robin Williams? Although I never cared for him since "Mork and Mindy", it is a great movie and addresses the unique sewage system in an interesting fashion to say the least. I have probably seen it 12 times and the Long, Long Trailer, probably can't count high enough to give a total on how many times I watched that. Maybe it I get time today, inspiration!
