Yeah, it would.  Plus someone may have a reason to try to rip it off, even with bolt cutter-tools.

I don't know man... My experience wasn't too great on a trike.  I've had tons of carbon-emission drivers cuss at me back in the day when I arrived at an intersection, saying that they couldn't see me when they were on a blind drive / hill. Mostly in Glaciated Ohio, some WV mountain roads. I...

Thanks for the explanation...  Those Eggbeaters are killer pedals. I've never met a dissatisfied user!  Back spasms are a nightmare esp. when riding so I can see where you're coming from!  I had a Cattrike Pocket (in that nice neon green color) and it was a hoot! What made it even more fun was...

Just curious to know... Did you cross over to the 'bent bikes due to issues with numbness in hands along with also nether region-areas? I was just wondering.  Fortunately, I was able to totally defeat my numbness issues by getting appropriately-styled (closer to European style) handlebars (on...

In early 2014, I splurged & got a Bike Friday Silk.  It has the internal geared-Rohloff Speedhub 14 (flawless shifting) and Gates Centertrack Carbon belt (zero maintenance / cannot stretch as it's made of polyethylene and carbon fibre). The rear hub has over 500% gear range than standard...

I've never traveled to an r/v park before and am uncertain if there are restrictions as to how a user can plug into shore power.  On my Transit 150 Van, I strung a conventional 120-volt plug with grounded wire and shove it thru a rubber grommet located at the spare tire jack compartment and...

With all due respect folks, Bob W. included this in a blog entry a few months back... Additionally, including one simple forum topic relating to alternative dwellings located on land would pique the interest of some people, no?  Doesn't seem to be all that much of a big deal.  And no, it...

naah... I Only prefer to be an introvert, mate ;)

Acknowledged, yet perhaps assigning another title to the topic of the forum would narrow it down to vehicle dwelling on a land-owned property. I have yet to see (in my limited exposure to those-other "Homesteading" forums) anything that relates to vehicle dwelling on property land w/o houses or...

It's understandable that mobile dwellings are the main theme of Bob's entire forum, yet, a while back, Bob did mention in his blog the idea of (what I thought was entitled) Homesteading...However, how many other forums have themes related to vehicle dwelling on homestead land?  ***Where I own...

Any chance of adding a forum topic for the subject of HOMESTEADING / LAND OWNING ?

Anyone ever go to the Three River Van Cinco De Butler Festival?   Seems like some sort of family type of get together (o'er in Butler PA area, or near Pittsburgh) related to Vanning. Three River Vans Butler County Fairgrounds Sept 02-05, 2016.  I may go instead of my lame-ass company...

Technically, my new Transit 150 van has just the driver + passenger windows only, yet I made a floor vent opening near the front of the cargo area so it works out gr8! Fresh air galore, especially with my Fantastic Fan. Overnight I had the fan on and I needed the heavy blanket on, in spite of...

Yeah, there was something that was different about vandwelling than what I expected...  The fact that it can stink to high heaven from many different things: dirty clothes piled up in a tightly-sealed bag; dirty shoes; off-gassing from the interior plastic (which also leaves a stench trail on my...

Uh, I can't believe that there is still activity on this thread I started OVER 3 years ago!  Given the fact that I never bothered getting the NV Compact Cargo, I don't think that I'll being in need of any replys pertaining to that vehicle :huh: .  Still though, I had picked up a nice...
