We're not homeless, we're houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don't worry about us -- it can be a very good life.

Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

I've been procrastinating because it's relatively expensive. But a confluence of factors (mail forwarding dependability, vehicle registration, eligibility for SNAP) finally nudged be to sign on.

Details and costs in the blog post above.

I wonder if the purchase of Escapees by Harvest Hosts and the separation of the Escapees domicile and mail service and RV parks into a separate entity will change anything in the future (even though they said it wouldn't).

(We have our domicile and mail service with Escapees also.)

It's a good question. I find it odd that they are separate entities but mail service still requires an Escapees membership.

I've been watching that acquisition closely too and typically these buyouts lead to price increases after the first year once they've "stabilzed the transition" (corporate speak for figuring out how to extract more $).
