    Questions on how to find a van

    I would like a van I can stand up in.   I can do a basic set up, but if I found something that was complete or partially done, that would be great, depending on price and quality.   I'm watching FB marketplace, auto trader, craigslist and even eBay.  Age and mileage and price are all over the...

    **** diet while on the road/shelf stable ideas

    Are you saying MTC oil (is that what you mean by pure c8?) won't upset stomach?  I know pure coconut oil does this, but I usually get used to it over time.  I thought MTC oil bothered me, too.  Thanks.

    What do you do when you're sick (in the incapacitating way)

    Water, yes!  Lots, yes! Also, don't be afraid to fast through it.  Eating takes a lot of work for your body to digest the food.  If you skip food, it allows your body to focus all its energy on healing.  (Fasting is healthful; a few days of not eating won't kill you but will probably speed...

    Drive at night, sleep during the day?

    This is a great topic!  Lots of awesome feedback. For me personally, I don't think I could switch my sleep schedule.  Maybe, with time, but I love going to bed early (9p-ish) and getting up at the butt crack of dawn!  My favorite time to drive is getting started 1-2 hours before the sun comes...

    need advice on heavy duty car battery I saw somewhere

    The solar panel sold me!  I checked this on Amazon and can get set up with both items at just under $400.  I'm a big fan of using solar but I have no experience.  This is a great way to start.  Can also use it in power outages at home.  Thanks much!

    need advice on heavy duty car battery I saw somewhere

    Somewhere I saw (on a youtube vid) the idea that you can replace the current car battery with something more heavy duty for running extra stuff, such as chargers, laptop, fans, or lights.  I had never heard of this kind of car battery, don't remember where I first saw this, and am wondering if...

    Queen:  What is the carb count of the Parmesan chips you get at Aldi?  Are they zero carbs like pork rinds?  Please and thanks!

    So I looked at a van today - YIKES!

    Good points, maki2, however, the inside of the fiberglass actually looked dirty to me.  I wondered if it could be cleaned and how much elbow grease would be needed - those were the thoughts that went through my head. I agree on the rustoleum paints and actually imagined how fun it would be to...

    So I looked at a van today - YIKES!

    I've already determined for my first solo run in Jan/Feb 2020 I will use my Chevy Traverse.  I'm not ready for full time, and I have to test the waters before investing in something. But in the meantime, I'm gonna start looking for a van I can stand up in just in case I like this nomadic...

    **** diet while on the road/shelf stable ideas

    Maybe my problem on the peeling has been that I put the eggs in tap temp water and bring to a boil following much the same procedure as you after that. I like how you reuse the water, but for coffee?  Let me ponder that... Is that stove from Walmart?  Do you really like it?  Thanks.

    Excellent, StarEcho!  I forgot about pepperoni AND pork rinds.  Which brand is best on the rinds?  We by Macs at Walmart.  I've heard it is highly recommended.  Not a fan myself, but if I really crave something crunchy it works!
