We are looking for another Caravan Host or a Host Team (2 or more Hosts at the same Caravan).  If you are interested, write [email protected]

Caravan Hosts are experienced in the vandwelling lifestyle.  Their responsibilities are fairly minimal.  They camp with the group as the CRVL point person, answer questions about the caravan from participants, and encourage social times (e.g., morning coffee, evening campfires, etc.) ... the type of the stuff we do when we get together anyway.  Hosts also take the lead if there ever happens to be a problem, making sure authorities are called in as appropriate.  Also, hosts encourage participants to spin off from the CRVL Caravans to form smaller, like-minded groups, moving out on their own, if/when ready.  Finally, hosts make sure that when the group leaves an area, there's less evidence of human-impact than when they first arrived (e.g., no trash).

For hosts, this is a fun opportunity to help some new folks get settled into the lifestyle, and also give back a bit of the help you received.

Thanks for your consideration.

It might be helpful to have current hosts pass on their experiences.

Exactly Jim. We hope to have a current host mentor a new host while at the same camp for a bit.

Good idea Jim.

Here are some videos and a blog from Brian and Randy:

Caravan Vids from Brian:
- Caravan Camp Life - Living on the Road, https://youtu.be/1NWfvNRWhxQ
- Anza Borrego Caravan CampLife - Living on the Road, https://youtu.be/35oYWmF6F64

Bob's Live Vid Feed with Brian About his Caravan, https://youtu.be/I_ZG1JZrtYo

Randy's Blog Post about his Caravan, http://mobilecodgers.blogspot.com/2018/1...tself.html

I hope those links help you all get an idea about how these two hosts are with their Caravans.

Great idea! Now that's a useful thing I could get into especially for the disabled set!

I have brain damage that makes understanding technical details and math related things a nightmare.  Please don't assume for me that I can just up and comprehend what you do.  My posts, requests and questions are directly related to getting and giving information that *I* can comprehend.  Thank you.
