"Hello everybody"-considering your lifestyle

My name is Greg, I'm a graduate student in Manhattan. I have been throwing money away renting a room the ghetto for 2.5 years. I think an appropriate pick-up/travel trailer set up may be a reasonable investment.

I expect to be traveling the county-looking for work. I don't need much. I don't have much to spend. Just a room with a bed and table, and a truck, with my motorcycle in the back. I've been making myself familiar with towing terms on this website and pricing some TT models on ebay.

I've never bought anything like this before and can't afford to get ripped off. Would there be a blue book for these vehicles? I'd also be interested in knowing the legal problems you know to avoid- like public parking. If I'm in the middle of a state without cash to go to a KOA, what would be the legal repercussions of 'staying' overnight in a Wal-Mart shopping center parking lot? I am very resourseful... when I need to be.

I've been staying on Walmart parking lots wherever I travel in the U.S. for 30 years in my RVs. There's a lot of false information being written here by some. The number #1 fallacy beiong written by others that read over and over again is that you have to ask permission of the Walmart manager before spending the night. Just pull in, shut it down and go to sleep. Enjoy your travels!
