The Cowsills were a family band from one of my ex-home states of Rhode Island where they started in Newport. "The Partridge Family" TV show was modeled after the real life Cowsills and "The Brady Bunch" was another of this nature.
Cadillac Man, the band is found and, what do you know, they're still playing. I wasn't such a fan of them but they had a lot of fun with the act and many loved them.
Indian Lake is where Cadillac Man was visiting today and it's in Ohio. There's no Indian reservation up that way so Ohio is where they kicked the Indians out and named the lake after them.
I didn't know much about it but Cadillac Man said Indian Lake has a long history as an inland resort and it's favored by campers. That's a lifestyle Cadillac Man has been considering and he took a look for himself.
I've thrown out some articles with million-dollar buses converted to be RVs but more realistic for the venture sounds like something of the F-150 camper nature but we didn't get into it quite far enough to review since it sounded like he was thinking that might not be sufficient but the whys weren't clear.
Note: the phone quality was awful plus the headset was busted. That call was doomed from the start.
After you have lived in a house forever, bailing out of it to go onto the road is a huge one so he's highly deliberate about it and he has the time for that. There's got to be a "Travels with Charly in Search of America" story in this since he keeps coming back to it so there seems to be a bit of fever behind this.
My understanding is the mission is to sell the house and go full-time road warrior which sounds completely cool as hell.
Let's see if we can sell it to him to get the satellite uplink for communications so he can keep an active online presence on the road by posting blog articles or whatever form of communication he fancies.
Ed: good plan. Run the cost up.
I can come up with all kinds of loon ideas when I don't have to pay for them. Besides, Cadillac Man is quite capable of rejecting any idea he considers fluff.
The biggest deal to a camper is getting a fridge into it but that won't work without a generator or you could only use it episodically when you connect to hook-ups in a KOA campground or some such. That way you could power up the fridge and leave it running for the duration but power it down when you roll.
You could power up a generator at some remote site to get the same type of episodic power and it would last as long as you keep fuel in the generator but they're loud and they won't do much for sleep plus that's not exactly wild country when you bring all that noise into it.
The best bet (i.e. most economical) for a single person is most likely a big cooler but the ice probably won't last more than a day or two. Maybe that's ok depending on how much hassle to get more ice.
These things may sound trivial but they matter a lot when you're rolling.
