**A (Damn IMPORTANT) MESSAGE FROM OUR (SOLE / INITIAL) CREATOR, PRESIDENT & COFOUNDER OF THIS NONPROFIT WEBSITE: (By Brian F. Powers)—
_______________
I Strongly Suggest the affordable RV lifestyle for ALMOST ANYONE who is strapped for CASH. Do your research hard in any or every online search to learn how to live this lifestyle (and if you choose to tow a trailer) learn how to (tow efficiently) also assemble / disassemble a hitch properly as it’s REALLY NOT HARD At All.** YOU CAN FIND VERY NICE Enough (•Maybe MOTORHOMES Or•) Trailers At Very Good Prices (Oftentimes With Good Financing). You’ll need either an SUV or PICK UP Truck for your tow vehicle if you choose a (Usually Far More Affordable And Much Smarter In My Opinion) trailer! Boondocking IS QUITE (A FANTASTIC) And THEEE MOST •Affordable Lifestyle•! ALSO Really Look into getting a good enough solar panel system with a SUBSTANTIAL Enough INVERTER! THAT’S DAMN IMPORTANT Though. Mine Is Around 400 Watts And Just Good Enough To Also Run A Small Fan. As for security, I strongly recommend you live this life IN AN OPEN CARRY STATE and that you get (if you can afford it) The Best Quality (••Hidden••) NIGHT VISION CAMERAS Installed On Each Side Of Your RV QUICK With (Smile You’re On) Camera Signs On Each RV Side.
