Do you think this is a good idea for traveling across the country???

Mar/105
My plan is to buy a mini-van that’s about 6 or 7 years old and has just over 100,000 miles on it (less, if possible). I don’t want to spend more than $5,000 (hopefully less, like 2 or 3,000).
Then I will take out one of the seats in back so I can have more room for storage and a place to sleep. I will also take a tent and air mattress. I want to drive across the country and sleep in the tent and sometimes even in the van, and maybe every once in a while in a motel if it’s cheap enough. I will put up curtains that I can close off the entire back also if I want to. I have a navigation GPS device and I do have AAA if I need maps along the way. Also I will bring an electric cooler that acts like a fridge, and a camping stove (Coleman), plus my laptop with wi-fi.
Where can I take showers? Someone told me truck stops let you take showers but how do I know which ones have showers??? I figure I will put like 10,000 miles on the mini-van and when I’m done, I’ll sell the mini-van.

Dec/094
Dec/094
- Includes three kettles with lids, two nonstick fry pans, 8-cup coffee percolator
- One-coat nonstick finish
- Maintenance is minimal
- Everything fits into the 10-quart kettle
Product Description
This high quality set is sure to fill the needs of those cooks out for a weekend of fun and serious campfire cooking. It includes three great cooking kettles with flat lids, two nonstick fry pans with a removable steel handle, and an 8-cup coffee percolator for preparing freshly brewed coffee over the fire. All items have been finished with a one-coat nonstick finish inside and out. The black outside finish allows for even faster heat transfer and faster clean up. The nonstick finish on all interior surfaces helps keep maintenance to a minimum. Couple that with six plastic compartment plates and cups and you have a great cooking set. The best part of all is that everything nests into the 10-quart kettle with the 10-inch fry pan serving as the cover.
Open Country Deluxe 6-Person Nonstick Camp Set
Open Country Individual 5-Piece Nonstick Mess Kit

- 1-person, 5-piece mess kit; stores compactly
- Includes 7-inch nonstick frying pan with pivot handle
- 3/4-quart kettle with tight-fitting cover
- 7-inch nonstick plate; 8-ounce plastic cup
- Pivot handle tightens to keep everything secure
Product Description
The set is perfect for a rugged individual. The fry pan handle converts to a clamp with the loosening of the bolt and nut. Two positive detents parallel the bolt to ensure the handle will not slide around when frying. Finished with a one-coat nonstick finish makes clean up easier and the black nonstick coating allows for faster heat transfer.Propane Camping Stoves Review
A backpacker or solo camper will find this mess kit indispensable. A step up from kits of old, this one features a nonstick finish on the inside of the 3/4-quart pot, seven-inch frying pan, and seven-inch dish. All cookware is made of aluminum for lightweight yet sturdy use. A plastic eight-ounce cup with handle stores inside the pot with its snug lid. When all the parts are nestled together, the frying pan’s handle pivots over the pot and screws securely. Plastic or wooden cooking utensils should be used, and cleanup is a simple matter of wiping off each nonstick surface. –Ann Bieri

We want to go somewhere like the Yukon, Alaska, the Pacific Northwest or anywhere else where we can hunt, fish, trap and survive for two weeks without any other human interaction. Obviously Alaska would be more expensive, but any advice or leads would be great. I can’t seem to find a good site on the internet for a company that will help get you set up and maybe offer some training regarding the specific area’s edible flora and fauna.
