Hey everyone! I've been lurking here for quite some time, and I've been a tad active as well when I've had questions or comments. I wanted to give back to the community by sharing our story and hopefully giving and gleaning information for other full and part time campers.
As a backstory, my girlfriend and I have both traveled pretty extensively, but usually seperately. After coming home from my last solo-cross country trip on a motorcycle, Beth put her foot down and said that she wanted to travel across the country with me this time, and that she wanted to do so in a van or otherwise. Plans were made, and we dreamed of doing this for a year, or to become indefinitely on the road - we tossed ideas around for forever, and finally decided upon a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins Turbo Diesel, and a 2007 Four Wheel Camper Grandby.
Since then we've spent nearly every second of free time and every extra penny into getting the truck fully maintained and the camper ready for full-time life.
You can read about both of these decisions on our website here if you'd like:

We've been on the road for a month as of today - we're on Ocracoke Island, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where I grew up. We're working here until May, when we'll start heading West. Our plan is to mosey around the US, Mexico and Canada, supporting ourselves through odd jobs, design work, photography, and anything else we can do to keep fuel in the tank and food on our plates.
We'd love to keep you all up to date and participate on the forums here, sharing what we've done, and gaining insight to problems or issues we have, or helping to solve other people's issues. My big question to all of you right now - would you rather: A) read about it here through a short synopsis of what I've written on the website, have me provide links and/or subscribe to our blog C)have me copy and paste the posts to the forum
Let me know, we're just looking to become more involved in the community and meet a few of you along the way!
By the way, we'll be at Overland Expo West with all the FWC guys if any of you will be there too! We'd love to meet up!
Yeager, Beth & Alfredo
