I believe let live - don't criticize and I have no problem with E beggars.

I do wonder while driving who are those people out in the Desert living in their vans?
How I came across some of them:

When we're in LHC usually with a RDP function, the Snow Tirds have taken up most the park RV spots so we simply use the BLM free camping areas. So easy.
Roughly, it (mostly) goes like this: Ya get 14 days free. The really big popular places like Quartzite have some free areas, in addition to some pay areas either 14 day or a long term higher fee.

AZ State camping you get your permit on line. It's about $10 for a single person camping and I think $15 for 2 or more, good for a week or two.
Az it's not actively enforced but if the LEOS are in the area they may ask to see you paid. You can show the receipt on your cell phone, No BFD. If you don't have it the Sheriffs give people a few minutes to buy it. No drama but hold that thought.

As you head out North out of LHC you pass a few free BLM camping areas on the East side of the State 95 where you see RV's set up. That's Craggy Wash and Lone Tree and a few others. Southbound heading toward Parker you find Standard Wash and a few other free BLM places.

Ok, on with the Van Dwellers in the Desert story.
It looks quiet but their is a lot of drama amongst them.

I met this guy Brian at Craggy Wash who lives in his van and posts a few You Tubes each week showing good, free places to camp in the USA.
Brian introduced me to a group of van dwellers that have You Tube channels and are known on You Tube as "E beggers" by their haters.

The haters have You Tube channels too and are constantly attacking the "E beggars". This because the E beggars have kick start kinda accounts asking people through You Tube to fund their "camping." Some eBeggars will send you a sticker for a $10 donation.

Most the eBeggars I met through Brian have storied pasts and they get attacked on You Tube the most, and in depth.
Prison stretches, several felonies, lot's of bunko schemes, trannys, all claim illness or they need work on their vans and ask for more donations. Then they get caught and video'd blowing the kick start (Patreon') money at a casino, or they buy a new van with it.

Yeah, it goes that far and their are those that track them down.
Their detractors have made careers exposing these eBeggars. It's YouTube reality drama if you like to follow that kinda thing and it often lands in LHC. Of the 1000's of free BLM camping spots across the USA Craggywash is their favorite, Quartzite a second. Wintertime they are in town a lot.

Craggy Wash has some amazing campsites and fantastic trails. It's a 10 IMHO. I can see the attraction.

Now, we've met lot's of good people out there too.
Especially the Northern USA people and Canadians. Solid folk.
But this thread is about the drama I stumbled across:

A sometime entertaining guy is Dave Hughes who reviews (and craps on) many eBeggars latest videos:

On this girls channel she is totally immersed and dedicated in hating the Ebeggars. She even sends her husband on the road to record eBeggar shenanigans:

This channel is Vlogger Puppets and you have to know who the eBeggars are to follow his videos. Some are really funny, some not but you need to be familiar with the characters.
He'll watch their videos then do a parody of them with the tired ass puppets:

This is Nomadic Fanatic. The most notorious of the Ebeggars. According to the eHaters done prison stretches for bunco schemes, bank swindles, beat up a few GFs, claimed he needed a new RV trans then blew the money in Vegas and got caught, cheated some Blue Hairs outta their savings. Endless bullshit from this guy. The sharpies claim he's bought his subscribers and views from a Hacker that for a fee, will juice your YouTube numbers. That has been proven BTW. He won't post his location until a week after he's moved because of the YouTube posse' and a thump squad in pursuit:

A transvestite:

If you buy into what the eHaters are claiming this is another ex con to be very wary of:
[video=youtube;RGKPX8rgrpQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGKPX8rgrpQ&t=29s[/video]

One of the dedicated Hater / Exposer channels of several.
[video=youtube;EZYkWbih6cM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZYkWbih6cM[/video]

Probably 20 more in the group I haven't mentioned but all have YouTube/patreon' channels too.
Their is a Granny Panty Pecker Possee' of old blue hairs that follow these people around in their class C's hoping to get some viagra sex.

Like I said, let live - don't criticize, just posting something I stumbled across camping in LHC.

It gets addicting for sure. Nice filler time when nothing on TV. Sailing La Vagabonde is one of my favorites on YouTube, although I wouldn't call them E beggars. They just sail around the world. Maybe I watch it because Elena is hot. :D

Boating on the river ya wave at other boaters people will often wave back.
Not in the free BLM campsites. It's taken as a welcoming sign in an untrusting atmosphere thus you'll be ignored.

I have had people that were stuck come up and ask for a tow and I help. They are stunned that I'm dialed in and have them free'd in a few short drama free minutes.

But if they ask for water or gas and you give it, it starts to unravel and they'll ask for way more of everything.
Had a mom and her girls roll by on their ATV's and they were legit needing fuel to get back to their camp. No problem.

Others ask to fill their 5 gal jugs with gas or a couple of 6 gal water containers knowing I have a fuel station and a big water tank.
They'll be back soon enough I've been warned so I avoid interaction.

Another issue may be you can't run your generator at night hence no A/C and it's 105F outside.
If no campground host I run it.

Some Walmarts across the USA allow overnite camping, some don't and have a tow truck at the ready in their parking lots. Their is an APP to help people figure it out, but some people try no mater what the rule.

This is Eric Nomadic Fanatic who paid a hacker to have his YouTube subscriber and views numbers juiced and the most notorious of them. Evidently married the transvestite Pandamonimum both are standing outside and talking to RV Joey in a Walmart Parking lot at the beginning . According to their ehaters and often proven, all have storied pasts and are convinced they are famous celebrities:

Funny how I stumbled across all them at Craggy wash.
They are really full of themselves, very narcissistic as you can see.
