    Ok, I will go check it out in the morning. I better get to bed, I have a couple of Independents that I dispatch for that are out east and they want me to have a conference call early in the morning. Have a good night.

    LOL! I stated that I'm only planning on living in the van for a few weeks until I'll find a room to rent. For me,yes, it was too hard to work in trucking. I enjoy driving but not all the BS attached to trucking. In a lot of ways I did fail at life mainly because I've been dealt many bad hands.

    Might not be a terrible idea but they can have alot of problems. Anything from leaking roofs to rotten floors, screwed up plumbing and wiring. Its kind of a crap shoot.

    there's always the option of trailer/rv parks if you get one but most demand they have to be up to date in good shape. they dont want trash. and of course the likes of aarp, triple a give discounts. if I recall correctly koa camp grounds require a membership..

    adding it to the mix..
