I call bs on 4mpg with a toad, also most skoolies get better than 7mpg, my full 40' got 8.5mpg through mountains pushing my governed top speed. Unless you're driving 75mph you'll get better mpg than what you posted, of course that's the other problem with skoolies, most buses can't push 75mph let alone 65mph. A 4 hour drive turns into 5 hours etc.

Several years I camped outside town planning to visit. That night several folks were shot in the city. Watching news footage I noticed lots of trash in the street. Also a public service announcement warning not to leave anything value in your vehicle unless you want a broken window. I left and never looked back

RVs aren't for visiting/vacationing in cities. Yikes!

I wouldn’t visit that poophole period.

I would never go to new orleans, period. Hard pass.

I traveled 27 states over 38 years selling aviation parts. New Orleans was the ONLY place where I could feel the danger in the air. As far as I am concerned, the whole city I worked decades ago was a sh-t hole. I was convinced it is the most dangerous city in America.

I drove to New Orleans from Canada in 1988 in my converted van with my girlfriend and it was one of the best trips I've ever had in my life..... went over to Biloxi after one week in New Orleans and backup through the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee what a great trip never had a problem with crime or anything

Buy a converted greyhound

Very honest and helpful. thanks

Bro it's almost like you didn't do any research before this video at all. No one is using a bus as a daily driver, everyone is insulating it better than you, no one would argue that $12k is enough to build a bus for the purposes that you're asking for, and your fuel consumption is at the lowest range of the spectrum. Mine gets 12mpg compared to your 6pmg. Also who is going to private camp grounds in a bus? People who build busses are not built the same as people who go to campgrounds. Private camp grounds are a last resort for bus life. Publishing this video seems only to be intended to dissuade people from bus life and... what's the purpose in all that? You've taken no actions towards resolving the very solvable issues you face and this video is not an unfiltered look at the reality - it's just whining.

My platoon went months using a bucket and soap during first year in the desert. Worked as good as can be expected. Although everything felt stiff and starched after it dried out.

If it's private property they can do it

Financially I live in the bottom 20% of all Americans, I will be living as a nomad in a truck camper when I can retire at 62, I have been briefly homeless once and hunted out of places until I landed in a homeless camp for a month, one of my hobbies is picking up garbage along roads and parks and I shop at Walmart where the nomads park their old RV's to get groceries and stay (despite the no overnight parking signs). Massively dysfunctional and disrespectful people often end up as nomads for financial reasons and to avoid repeat complaints from those unfortunate enough to live around them. On the edge of any store parking lot near a section of trees you will always find deep garbage and gross items like used diapers. Just like a Motel 6 will be packed with drug addicts and other massively dysfunctional people any cheaper spot like an RV park or campground right next to a city will be several times worse. It is totally unfair for all of society to shirk their duty to provide for all of the types of homeless refugees in our country and then dump all of that burden on a handful of businesses. It is horrible that people without enough money who need to live in cities have no legal place to be and now no longer even have the right to sleep, but suing RV parks and grocery stores to force them to carry all of our failing civilizations burdens is totally not the answer. As living in vehicles becomes less and less optional for the poor there needs to be a behavioral shift in those that live this life. Nomads need to make sure we are not being loud and rude, illegally dumping our garbage, peeing on parking lots, exploiting the hospitality of businesses or making others uncomfortable by not being stealthy. There also needs to be a shift in behavior where those living the life need to be the ones that own trash buckets and trash grabbers and are the ones in society picking up homeless and nomad trash from affected businesses, parks or places we will need to park overnight at. RV parks discriminate against the poor just like apartments and every rental property out there, just like all the credit providers and banks out there. There never was a time period where the poor were treated fairly anywhere. I think civilization has about 6 years left before everyone recognizes it is collapsing and Haiti will be the new norm. For the economic bottom half of America living in vehicles isn't going to be optional and not being a burden on fixed locations will literally be a matter of life and death for the entire nomad community. Some nomads seen volunteering to reduce the burden of nomads on fixed locations could extend the number of years those locations allow nomads to use them (before the rising tide of irresponsible people makes that impossible). Lawsuits from individuals seeking to force RV parks to make them accept them can lead to RV parks closing which just makes the situation worse for everyone.

I will literally turn the dang thing OFF! Give it a good charge. I am motivated to do other things, if only to hear the sound of my only thought. The Internet will still be there when I turn it back on. I appreciate your comments.

So if you rock up in a 50 year old truck towing a new camper trailer that's ok , but a new truck and a older camper trailer over ten years old , it's a NO 🤔

thats good as my rv is almost 30 years old. sure i would love to buy a new one. but who can afford $100,000USD. if they own a s&b home? sure the rich can afford everything , seeing as there interest rates are far lower and the dealers will lower the price for them. i am having trouble paying off a truck. buy the time it is paid off it will be dead on the rd. with over 300,000, miles on a gas motor.

they do not want my money. ok, no problem, i am sure the other camp ground in town will take my money.

I manage a small Rv park and my rule is if it looks like a meth lab then it’s not coming in here! If you have a older rig or a vintage rig and it’s been taken care of then I have no problem with you saying in my park

First we lost a majority of Walmart over nights allowed.. Homeless and Rv parks loosing to the overnighters... Then the Rv parks turn the tables on us by the 10 year rule. When we are on a fast track traveling in our rig we just need a place to crash overnight . Walmart provided this convenience and in turn we always shopped when needed at that Walmart.. Also bought gas at their store gas stations. So Walmart looses. Now we are encountering another RV travel dimension,.. safety! uggg

I am addicted to my devices. However when I am out in nature, I do take a break from it. But when night falls, I have to have entertainment. 😂You have an awesome channel. I think I am caught up. Until the next video, take care. 👍🏽💜

Oh wow! This is a small world. I did not realize you were from Virginia. I knew your bus looked familiar. I remember seeing your bus in a parking lot on Rt10. I work in the area. So very cool! Still binge watching. 👍🏽💜

I am binge watching. LOL...I agree with you in that school buses ride like crap! Oh by the way, my bus came with air ride and it still rides like crap! Even with the negative realities of it all, I still want to give it a try. I have done a ton of research and even with that, I know it will still be difficult for me which is why I want to try it, for the challenge. I would fall in the digital nomad category. I am okay with that. Will catch you in another video.

Yes it's legal 1.Because if your rig looks like a rolling hillbilly meth lab you will drive business away. 2. If there's a "special group" meeting there that week, they don't want kids around (Swingers, Furries, nudists, Shroomers and others) 3. Some Camp Grounds are for retirees only but State Law prevents them from saying it. 4. They might be doing you a favor, if "BLM" is there and you're a white family , it's probably a good idea to keep heading down the road.

New subscriber. Found you thru CaptainJack Scrapper. You were the featured channel this week. I want to start the nomad lifestyle myself and am currently working on converting a school bus. Looking forward to watching more of your videos, especially the next one. Take care.

I go camping to get away from the riff raff of society. Poor people are living in rvs because its cheap, not because they are on vacation. Campgrounds are just that. Campgrounds, not neighborhoods! Campgrounds are trying to make money. Poor people dont spend money in the campground store or restaurant. Go stay in National parks, state parks and free campsites. I dont own a expensive rv but I still dont want to park next to a junk wagon.Campgrounds want to see your rv because you might be an exception and have a nice and maintained older rv, if so, I bet they will let you in.

Your thumbnail shows a pristine vintage camper…trouble is that’s an anomaly…most camper that old are crap…rattle can painted multi colored turds. That’s what the ten year rule is intended to keep out… and rightfully so. Look at the streets of California to see how that ends with no restrictions. I have been turned away in the past for the ten year rule with my pristine 1995 beaver motorhome so I know how it feels. Just go somewhere else that doesn’t have that rule.

I've ran a ln RV park, and there are many reasons to keep certain rigs out. And though it might be unpleasant to be denied a spot, but so is cleaning up after some of them. There are some nasty arse people out there. Once I took a couple in for the weekend because I felt bad for the lady who said she was sick. Then I noticed they weren't hooked up to the utilities, said they needed to just rest, cool. But the next morning I went to do my rounds and come to find out they didn't even have storage tanks, so they were just dumping straight on the ground. Yeah.

Don’t want ghetto next door.

private property and they can turn you away - you dirty hippies want to ruin every campground

Anyone running a business, including landlords and campgrounds, should be allowed to accept or deny a customer for any reason or even no reason.

I own a 20 year old class A Winnebago. I’ve been told no until they see the rig. Never been turned down. It looks like new as it has always been stored inside unless in use. I can’t blame campgrounds for keeping out the Clampets.

I don't think age alone should justify an RV park rejecting an RV. At an RV park near where I live, I saw an early 1990s diesel pusher motorhome. I didn't get to speak to the owners of the motorhome, but I could tell by looking at the motorhome that it was well cared for and it looked like brand new. Since I didn't get to see the interior of the motorhome or the engine, etc., I don't know what exactly the condition was overall.

Captain Jack sent us over..Great video

Well done 🙂

You should have an interview with Bob Wells on his Cheap RV Living Channel.

Great video! Love the refreshing honesty!

Uses the solar power to get reduced electricity payments.

must include "cluster" ...I love it...Maybe this Saturday my fans will guess who you are..🙂

Pulling or driving something that looks better than most houses in my area, that's not camping or even close to camping lol..When I's a kid in the 60s, that was camping. We had what was called pup tents and you slept on the earth as in ground with grass or under pine trees is where my tent went cause I used pine needles for a cushion for my bed. We drank mountain water and fished for food but we always had marshmallows and hotdogs incase the fish wasn't biting. We camped like that, or at least I did plum into the 90s and people I grew with still don't have a pull behind or a drivable camper. I had a motor home for a couple years until I drug my feet about bringing it home, so my friend sold it again but I didn't care at that point in time cause he was having it rough and the man needed the money. The moral of my story is, people has camping all twisted up and I'm not going to pay for a piece of ground to lay on for a weekend or a week. That's not camping. I reckon I'm to old school but having a mobile home is not even close to camping lol..And these snooty people don't even have a clue of what it's like to really be out in the woods and nature camping. We as kids use to build lean two's or things to sleep under made of sticks and tarps so we didn't get wet cause just about everytime we'd go camping it'd dump the rain on us but we always put in the work to keep us dry throughout the camping trip...

THERE ARE COUNTIES AND TOWNSHIPS ALONG THE TEXAS COAST THAT UTILIZE THE 10 YEAR RULE, FULTON TX TOWNSHIP WILL ONLY ALLOW 10 YEARS OR OLDER IF IT WAS REGISTERED THERE BEFOR THE RV WAS 10 YEARS OLD .

Wow looks like America is a discrimination , judgemental country 😢 no place for an Australian to visit bugger that 😅looks like no freedom in your country hmm I'll keep spending my money in Australia then and keep cruising around Australia living the dream👍

If your fully sustained , grey water tanks , a toilet holding tank and nothing ends up on the ground they carnt say anything , if they only want new flashy motor homes on their site for an image purpose then bugger them just move on their wankers !! just move on , in Australia we have apps about places and imfo but yer hope that stupidity dosnt happen down under because flash or old the money is always the same 😊

Counter point 10 Build over time and comfort will come 09 Space is plentiful for one person 08 do your own service, this is NOT a Class A RV 07 Moister sucks wood or steel, get a wood burning stove 06 Not much hotter or colder than my Class C in bare sun (you will need TWO ac's) two 12v mini splits works well. 05 Easy insurance is a lie. 04 NEVER daily drive a 10 tons of 8mpg, it gets Class a milage. 03 keep shopping UNTIL you find one with rear airbags (activities bus) 02 Skoolies are durable, but there are serious comprimises 01 buy land and make friends with people with land, there are not many bus friendly campsites compared to Rv life

Im over these smaller campgrounds. They're double or even triple the cost of the state campgrounds, and the state campgrounds are almost always better maintained and bigger spots. I'll never stay at a rjourney again. When I camp I'm in an 06 winnebago so I'd be cut out most of these places anyway even tho the camper is under 25k miles and in cherry condition

I'm not a nomad, but enjoy the videos. Great list!
