Do some volunteer work get a free campsite with hook ups. Turned my car hauler into an RV.

That right there doesn’t sound like a bad gig at all.

I'm glad that it is getting used, thank you for that. Was thinking about getting rid of the title "Grinch" and use 7.3 engine/4R100 trans removal w/ pics (something like that) so it can easily be found in the search engine. Had the on board air working but the bracket holding the air tank broke and really haven't dealt with it yet.

Absolutely beautiful here. Nothing like camping for a living... free rent.

Did you get a camper for Grinch? I've been wondering where you wandered off to. If you were online, you could have downloaded FORScan some time ago and scanned the truck... but now will do just as well.

Being a camp host is on our list of things to do soon. Seems like a pretty good deal each time we find a host to chat it up with a bit.

My wife and I were camp hosts at our last gig in Oceanside before we moved permanently. It was a GOLDEN setup. I worked 20 hours a week in exchange for lawn upkeep, camper monitoring, delivering firewood, etc. Our spot was beautiful and the work was enjoyable. If we were childless, we would have done it forever. There are a TON of opportunities.
