Interesting article that portrays Bob and Carolyn as saviors. I will admit that I first became interested in the life style through some of his videos.

I chose this lifestyle in 1981 , think Bob still had a day job back then...
Then he discovered how I lived and ,,,,well , ya know what happened after that.
Personally , I help anyone that is doing the lifestyle and needs help
BUT
I don't make it a habit of inducting people into the lifestyle.
The old show biz saying is " there is no such thing as bad publicity".
There IS such a thing as bad publicity in vandwelling.

To be honest, the mythos and indoctrination of "devotee's" for Bob and now Carolyn has me rethinking fulltime life on the road; ... I'm starting to lean back toward spending the majority of my time on a small, remote piece of land somewhere. Helping, inspiring, and encouraging people already (or almost) on the road is one thing; the developing 'cult' of CheapRVLiving is quite another ...

I will just say one thing. This is the first time that I have ever heard anyone describe a modified sine wave inverter as being 100% clean.

Even though the lifestyle has been going on for as long as man has been around, RVBob and Caroline haved saved the world.

I still have no idea who this Carolyn is...and I was on CRVL for a little while.
Not that I really care, but just stating that fact.
I still wish I could be free as you guys.

Hm. I can't seem to find a thread about the article over at CRVL. Anybody have a linky?
RE: ny times article about the rtr - Rocki5pr - 02-01-2018
Tempted to start the thread over there myself to watch the worship (and 'fertilizer' build up) to amuse myself; ... but that would just stroke their egos, so no
