Humans are terrible at recognizing and integrating all of the moving parts involved with any complex subject such as this, so while it's fun to predict how things will play out, our track record strongly suggests that we'll all end up being spectacularly wrong in one way or another. Even the...

I'm having an impossible time finding full-timer coverage for a self-conversion in Nevada. By any chance, does anyone here have any suggestions? I'm even open to considering other states at this point, if that's what it takes. That is, assuming there are *any* states at this point that are...

Gotreads are a good alternative to Maxtrax -- a good bit easier to store, and they can double as leveling blocks. About half the cost as well.

Love it when an ancient thread spontaneously comes back to life.

"No one has a right to declare if you are homeless except you." Not true. Anyone has the right to declare you whatever the hell they want. Why should you care though?

Geniosity.

Forgive me if this is at all insensitive or inappropriate, but here's another thought...which may sound crazy and outside-the-box, but hey, it's a forum for vandwellers, so outside-the-box is sort of a given.... Anyway, I know the conventional modern medical wisdom says that ulcerative colitis...

Yeah, prototypes like this make for great stories, and are a vital part of pushing the needle forward with new tech, but in this case at least, it shows that we're still nowhere near the point of making this sort of thing mainstream or remotely practical. Physics can be brutal like that.

Amen. Insure only what you truly cannot afford to lose, which if you really think about it, shouldn't be much of anything, at least in terms of one's personal possessions. Another way to look at it is to simply not own *anything* that you can't afford to lose. So why have insurance at all, you...

Interesting. I've always been generally healthy, and never had much need for doctors aside from the odd minor accident (stitches, etc.), so hadn't ever given much thought to the whole telemedicine thing. Definitely going to have to chew on this some more. Thanks for the insight.

Good stuff Wayne. I do like your take. I had seen that blurb on NV Health Link, and concluded the same, but it's always best to hear from a real flesh-and-blood nomad who has successfully done the dance. Still hoping someone chimes in, as I want to avoid any surprises when I head up to Pahrump...

It's just one question, actually. That link -- while a goldmine of useful information -- does not answer it.

I'm considering switching my domicile to Nevada, and wonder if anyone can confirm that the address from the required 30-day RV park stay is indeed acceptable for getting health insurance set up on NV Health Link.

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone.

I'm starting to think about building a basic sink/fresh water setup, and wonder if anyone can recommend a good 12 volt water pump that's pretty quiet and doesn't use a ton of power. Also, is there any reason why a standard household sink and faucet couldn't be used in conjunction with such a...
