As a regional truck driver, I'm familiar with most of the places you go. That rest area is near my distribution center, never had a problem at that one. Maybe one of these days I'll bump into you at a truck stop. I usually have plenty of shower credits, and would gladly donate one. Stay safe out there.

I don't know how you lived in that tiny car for 3 years! I am so happy and proud of you for your new van, you deserve it 👏💞

[@rantsandraves2k687]

I am not trying to answer for her but being a person familiar with vehicle living I could answer on my own behalf. First off: It is not for everyone. As for living in the vehicle, really it’s our items that spend the most time actually “living” in the vehicle. It’s the down time/sleep time is when a person spends the most time in their unconverted vehicle. We tend to find things to do outside of the vehicle during the daytime hours like working 2 jobs and staying busy outdoors, relaxing on the beach, going to the library and studying, etc. Now unless someone sleeps in the daytime and works at night then it is a bit different of a lifestyle in the unconverted vehicle. It is definitely way to cramped up to actually “live” in something like a small car, etc so less time is spent in the unconverted vehicle. But once one gets into something bigger we then begin to spend more and more time in that larger vehicle, now actually “living” in the van/converted vehicle. I am sure you get it and how it works but some people don’t understand. It’s a process from vehicle to vehicle and we just learn to adapt. No matter what we go through the goal(s) that we achieve make all of what we go through or put ourselves through worth it. 🙌 😊

[@chrisharmon5453]

As a forester I’m in poison oak all the time. One of the best methods to remove the oils is high alcohol Content hand sanitizer. Also Ivy X post exposure wipes, work really well for dogs, equipment like walking sticks, backpacks, phones, etc. and then obviously washing your clothes the wipes can also be used on your body to remove the oils.

[@FIRED13]

What is 'content hand sanitizer"?

[@kiwigirljacks]

@@FIRED13 “high alcohol content”. A high level of alcohol. That C is just capitalised so might be confusing you on the sentence structure.

[@katiedavis4279]

I also was going to say for me finding oral medication for poison oak is what cleared it up for me. J had rashes for over a month and none of the cream was doing anything. Found an oral medication off Amazon and it cleared up in about a week.

My husband and I do a few road trips and he is a more outdoorsy person than I am but I do love nature. I just like to limit my time in it haha. Anyway, you should do an ebook on safe places to stay when doing van life and the restaurants that you have discovered on your travels as a guide book especially for the ladies living the van life. With the cost of housing and not wanting stressful jobs I notice more people are on the road living and enjoying life.

Very nice adventure. Awesome view point there. I'm sorry about your poison oak situation. Try to put some calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to prevent the itch. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

[@saragrubbs4396]

Hi Nikki- I get it, I have had it for three weeks at a time (a few times) . The best thing to do is exfoliate the areas really well with some sort of exfoliating loofa, scrub the crap out of it with soap. Once dry, put rubbing alcohol on it, it will dry it out. Also, keep using those wipes on Camper. The oils from poison oak etc are the worse and it will keep spreading unless you get them off. Also a dermatologist can get you cream prescriptions that will help get rid of it too. I live in Florida so I have plenty of experience with it if you have any questions!

[@salvadorrivas7357]

Hi Nikki. I just want to say I love your adventures. Watching you motivates me to keep going.

[@quixoticPrancer]

The problem with those compact reserve osmosis systems is that they are very bad with the first bit of water that comes out. So you can either drink poorly filtered water, or dump/waste the first 5 second of water. Buy a separate water quality meter if you don't believe me, because the one included with those RO systems are known to fudge the numbers to hide this problem. You need to wait for the next generation of compact RO systems which may (hopefully) fix this known issue.

Oregon just changed from 8 hours to 12 hours on rest stops. I've been constantly harassed by ODOT for parking multiple days but I have no where else to go and I'm homeless living in my car.

I would worry about things like this myself. I ended up just buying a small cheap condo then moved up to a mid sized 2 bed 2 bath. Myrtle Beach has a studio for sale for 89K right now with $250 a month condo fees. Cleveland, Indianapolis have even cheaper condo's. If you can work at an Amazon or a place where they'll let you live in your car in the parking lot for a couple years... That's what I'd do now. Maybe get a planet fitness membership for showers and such. Libraries always have free internet now. If I could go back in time to my twenties I'd have joined the Air Force and saved my pennies for eight years. Lot of people though, seems they've spent $20 before they've even made $5. Young women are the worst... But, a man usually pays for them eventually...
