Boondockers Welcome

So what are your options when all the campgrounds are full or closed for the season?

Many seek out Walmart stores, truck stops, and casinos for free overnight parking en route to their destinations.

Harvest Hosts

What a nice experience this has to be! Visit their website HERE

Harvest Hosts' goal is to provide new experiences for RVers. You will meet fascinating people, visit interesting locales and have the opportunity to purchase locally grown farm fresh products.

At the end of the day you'll have a unique and special location to spend the night for no overnight fee. There are no black-out dates and no limits or restrictions on the number of Hosts you can visit. All you need in order to participate is a self-contained RV.

Harvest Hosts is an online program. When you join, you receive a username and password that provides access to the Host Directory, interactive maps and an easy to use Find a Host app. You will also be able to print your own Membership Card and Vehicle Identification Badge.

Membership is $40.00 for twelve months and by joining, all members agree to abide by the Harvest Hosts Code of Conduct.

You'll enjoy wine tastings, farm tours, museums or picking your own produce. You'll enjoy knowing that you supported the local economy, and at the end of the day you'll enjoy a unique and rewarding overnight spot.

Meet Joe

Meet Jose Tiar, better known as Joe. Fed up with city chaos and noise, the constant stress and pressure of paying utility bills, and the feeling of being stuck in one spot, he decided to do something about it and followed his dream.

 

 No, he’s not selling hot dogs or cheese steak. He bought this truck in pursuit of happiness; to live his life the way he thought it ought to be.

Believe it or not, this is the interior of the very same truck.

It’s accommodating enough to house his 11-year-old daughter as well. Her room is just at the top of the stairs.

“True, I gave up a lot of stuff- books, clothing and other unnecessary things we all acquire. But gained freedom. Real freedom. Freedom of movement, that allows me to live near the beach, in a beautiful wooded area, or even in the city. Freedom from corporate taxes, electricity, and water corporations.”

Underneath the truck is an 800 liter tank which provides him with more than enough water and…

A roof full of solar panels supplies and stores enough power for a month.

Now he intends to recruit partners, to unite and to buy farmland- a sustainable village on wheels.

”Community awareness, commitment to environment and mutual aid, infrastructure-independence and not consuming and polluting,” are some of his moral initiatives for his dream of a mobile community.
