Smarter ways to camp for seniors is about, how my wife, and I have
evolved, in our camping hunting, fishing, and all the out door
activities, that we have always enjoyed through out our lives and
learned to cope with our ageing bodies in the process. At first we
thought we could do everything we use to do, but that we just, had
to do them slower. That was true to some extent, but we soon
learned that we must, also get smarter in how we do things. In this
book I give some of the solutions we have come up with, I, also
will try, and do this by telling story's which, by the way I love
to do, and do this in a way I hope will make you smi
Rolling Shelter is a personal account of Kelly and Rosana Hart's
life in two different buses, three vans, two small motor homes, two
travel trailers combined into one house, and two cars. Kelly tells
stories of how they traveled through Mexico and Guatemala in a
small van and then later developed a splendid home on their llama
ranch in the mountains of Oregon. This book will inspire you and
give you some ideas for how you might take advantage of vehicles to
provide shelter in your life. In full color, the book features over
200 photographs and 5 detailed floor plans. With descriptions of
how the conversions were accomplished, it is valuable both as an
overview of vehicular dwelling and as a construction manual for how
you might convert your own. One of the true joys of living in a
vehicle is that it can be moved to new and exciting locations with
relative ease. If you like to travel, but prefer to have your own
bed and your own kitchen, then consider living in a motor home of
some sort. The chapters include: "Our First Bus Home" shows the
artistic conversion of a school bus parked on the rugged California
coast. "Extra Wheels" describes a versatile step van and a Navy
radar van used as a film studio. "Van Dwelling" features a Ford
Econoline van equipped for travel into remote places and a VW
Vanagon camper. "Juniper Ridge" shows how they made a unique home
combining two long travel trailers into one home that could
accommodate some of their llamas. "Tortuga & CanDo" were both
small Dolphin motor homes built on Toyota trucks. "Here &
There" was a full scale conversion of a 40 foot inter-city bus in
which they traveled around the western United States.
