Just wondering if anyone has done any boondocking with motorcycles?
My first thought was a small rv, like one built on a van chassis with a big block and a v nose trailer big enough for storage. And enough space for a garage for my bikes, with tool storage and an AC unit so I could actually work on them in there. I have a gas powered welder with a 19kw generator. 100 amp breaker. So more than enough power and stick and tig welding. I plan on putting it in an enclosure on the tongue so I don't have to worry about fumes. Down side is it would be hard to shop or get into tight spaces. No 4x4
Second thought was a truck bed RV, one of the bigger ones with a shower and water tanks. And a larger trailer for more storage. I don't have a problem with the reduced living area but with all the trips back and forth. Bad knees and all. And all the stairs. Other than that the only other down side is tiny water\sewage tanks. But the upside is normal vehicle size, probably the best fuel mileage but roughest on mechanical.
My latest plan was to get a box truck(1ton) and make an custom ramp and use that like the trailer and get a bumper pull rv. Still a pain at Wal-Mart but much easier than a 24\30 foot RV and I have the extended living space and probably the most storage. Big negative is a big ramp and tip overs. Or I have to get a big Jonny lift.
Someone out there is thinking, what about a toy hauler? Too much weight in one spot. I want to use it for extended periods, maybe permanently. So I need more axels to support the weight. Every plan has it's pluses and minuses. The last plan is probably the best living mechanical option but the most expensive. Already ruled out a schoolie, and a 5th wheel. Been working on this plan for about a year and a half and I have about 5 years to accomplish it with limited resources. But I'm an expert welder, a degreed electrician and owned a handyman business for 6 years. So I have the skills to make it work.
I'm looking for something I don't know. I only have experience with 5th wheel RVs. Always pulled them with a farm truck. I'm attempting to plan this all out as best as I can, so I have the best outcome, while I can still physically do it. Probably be in a wheelchair by 60 and I would like to enjoy what I can while I can.
