    First big trip planning and preparedness

    Hi folks, At the end of the month I'm embarking on my first big trek in my rig, some 2700 miles and 41 hours according to google maps. I currently don't have any apps on my phone, or yet own a Garmin. I have a 10" Asus Android tablet I can use for google GPS though, instead of the onboard...

    The negativity we are receiving

    When I tell people about the extensive mods to my rig, my plan to dwell and travel in it and combine the concept of work and vacation, people give me fist-bumps. When I say I want to escape living in an apartment community and dealing with the hassles of inner city life, people give me more...

    Beat mice with a brick

    I just rewatched several seasons of ALONE in my head when I read the title. So let me get this straight. You hate mice so much that you want to convert your vehicle battery 12v to 110v in order to "strobe the mice to death" ? Do you have an aux battery? Novel concept though. Does it work on the...

    Charge controller question

    older woman looking with a nomadic soul

    You can get a taller Sprinter type van and there are tons and tons of mods and places that do van conversion. My advice is to create a folder in your browser and start visiting sites like this one, watch utube videos and when you see something that appeals to you, BOOKMARK IT. Then after a while...

    Two-way radio antenna mounting?

Essentially it would include Pepwave Max Br1 MK2 CAT-6 LTE-Advanced Mobile Router and some choice of AIO omni directions antenna or individual antennas. This Br1 MK2 and antennas...
