I just spent the past nearly six months converting my 2019 Ram Promaster 2500 cargo van into a self contained RV and am beginning my solo journey into the adventure of my life time this June.

I was born and raised on the Central Oregon Coast, am a fine artist and writer who loves getting off the beaten path to explore the wild, peaceful beauty of nature and am excited about seeing and spending time in places I have never seen or been before.

Skills & Expertise to Share

Well, I guess my skills are varied. I am a bit of a Technology geek and am also a retired fine artist and retired Journeyman Carpenter who raised and trained horses in my younger years. I am willing to share whatever people may find interesting.

VanChick's Pets

I have a two year old female tabby I raised from a kitten named Luna.

Favorite Boondocking Locations

I dont really have a list of favorite boondocking places yet but I am anxious to get started on one

VanChick's Hometown

I was born in Toledo just fifteen minutes from the Central Oregon Coast and the town of Newport Oregon where I was raised and remained until age 37

Quiet guest!

VanChick was a wonderful guest! So quiet we hardly knew she was here. Had a nice visit when she first arrived, then again when she departed. Highly recommend this lovely guest to other hosts.

Very friendly, quiet and pleasant to have as a guest.

We enjoyed a pleasant evening with her, otherwise she was so quiet we hardly knew she was here. We would welcome her back.

She's like a ghost (in a good way)

VanChick arrived right on time, and after a bit of conversation and getting settled in, we didn't cross paths for the next couple days. She's got a nice new self contained rig and keeps to herself. She's welcome back any time.

Lovely

Vanchick’s visit was a few day of enjoyable girl time. She arrived just before my friend came for a visit; we spend the evening chatting, enjoying, sharing, comparing our life’s journeys. I know I will see her again and am looking forward to it.

Quiet & low maintenance

VanChick stayed for three nights, hubby met her briefly when she arrived after that not even a peep. Totally self contained, quiet, left no trace.

Quality RV Newby

We really enjoyed hosting vanchick. She is pleasant and friendly and we were her first stop on her full-time RV adventure. As all new RVers she is working through her learning curve. She is eager to learn and was open to suggestions. We hope we see her again!
