Just throwing a money making idea out there in case others need to make money while on the road. I do drive an E150 with a 300 Straight 6 and an AOD transmission. USAA offers "ride share gap" insurance that is pretty cheap. I pay just over $50/month total. As for gas, I make more than I spend...

Has anyone tried postmates? I have been hanging out in Florida only so far, but if I roll into a city that has postmates I just turn on the app and I can start taking orders. Door dash, waitr, bitesquad et al do not allow that You have to set a city and a schedule.

I have a AAA premier membership. IMO, it is not worth the cost. I just added roadside assistance to my insurance for about 1/8 the cost of AAA. Also, AAA pays their providers the least of any of the roadside assistance companies. As you can imagine, that puts your call pretty low on the totem...

How is a hearse different from a station wagon for living purposes?

The ex got the house in the divorce, does that count?

It it is just a small hole, it can be welded closed with a clothes hanger as the "filler material" or "welding rod". We used to do that all the time. You need an Oxy-Acetylene torch. I don't know if MAPP gas would work or not, never tried it.

And the manifold gaskets to insure proper fit. Some vehicles also have a "little silver donut" to seal the exhaust pipes to the manifolds. Make sure that is installed properly if your car has them.

Still cheaper and better than a sticks and bricks though. JMO, YMMV

Same here. I have saved up a couple gatorade bottles and I planned to dump in the toilet at gas stations and the like. I have a 5 gal bucket for #2, but don't want to waste it for just urine.

LOL, where in Florida do you get "winter"? I have lived from Pensacola/Destin/Panama City down to Melbourne and only seen snow 3 times in 20 years. It never lasted long. ;)

15 minutes? Ok cool. Having the screens on the outside, aren't you worried that someone might snatch them off while you sleep? I am planning to boondock at Wal-Marts and the like as I roam around Florida. So, would't stealth also be out the window? I was thinking about just cracking the windows...

I don't see anyway to edit posts. I did find some louvers for the van, but at $120-$150 a pair, they fail the CBA(cost benefit analysis) test IMO. I was already planning on re-purposing some curtains and adding some static film tint. What I am looking for is some fitted screens for the front...

I currently sleep at an abandoned retail lot. I got "the knock" the third night, but once the cops ran my id they just told me to be careful. They were pretty cool about the whole thing. It seems like a decent spot, close to a Home Depot(1 mile), a Lowes(2 miles), a WalMart(same parking lot as...

I am doing my conversion little by little in a lowes parking lot under a shade tree. No one has said anything so far.

Where did you get the louvers for your rear windows? I have had no luck finding them.
