safety

DO YOU WORRY ABOUT SAFETY WHILE BOONDOCKING?

We have only been worried about safety on one occasion. It was while preparing to overnight at a Walmart. We both had hair standing up on the back of our necks, and something didn't feel right. So we didn't stay. 

We have never felt unsafe in any other boondocking location. But we (or should I say Phil) are always aware of our surroundings.

DO YOU WORRY ABOUT SAFETY AT CAMPGROUNDS?

We have never felt unsafe in any campground. But we always keep safety in mind and lock up and cover our valuables when we leave the campsite. No need to tempt anyone!


TV

HOW DO YOU WATCH TV?

We watch over the air channels a majority of the time. We also have Dish’s pay as you go plan. We love it because there is no long term commitment. If we want it we pay for the month. If we don’t need it we skip a month.

Like the rest of the world, we stream Amazon Prime, Netflix, Apple TV, and Disney Plus.


sticks and bricks

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR DOMICILE?

We use Escapees out of Livingston, TX, for our domicile. It was easy for us because we were already residents of Texas. All we had to do is change our address and update our driver's license and voter registration! Done!

DO YOU HAVE A HOME BASE?

We consider San Antonio our homeport because that is where we go for our medical appointments. But we do not own a house in San Antonio.

DO YOU MISS A STICKS AND BRICKS?

We do not miss having a traditional home. Our RV has become our home, and we love it. 

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO PURGE?

We spent almost two years purging before we hit the road full time. We started slow and picked up speed as we got closer to putting the house on the market. 

Starting early eased most of the stress of departing with all of our stuff. We were able to do it a little at a time. Check out the blog Purging for Full Time RV: Tips to Purging Stress Free or the video below to see how we did it.

WILL YOU EVER BUY ANOTHER STICKS AND BRICKS?

Yes, eventually, we will purchase a sticks and bricks somewhere. We don't know where or when that will be....someday.
