    Companionship, Attractiveness And Chemistry Make The Best Road Partners

    First of all, "I'm Not Gay Or Bisexual". I'm attracted to women. Men are my buddies and not my sexual attraction. I've read alot of threads and posts in this section of the forum and I never received any thought of what I believe and am working towards in friends, family and partners. I threw...

    Almost Free No Data Caps Internet T.V. And Movies

    Homefi gives you 450 GB a month for $100. They give you 850 GB a month for $134. This is a wireless setup so tower congestion will come into play. This setup was designed for rural areas. This is another option to look at if you can afford it. It's for both home and camping...

    I like educational shows also. I like, "The Food Network", "Motor Trend Channel", "History Channel", "News Channels", "The Magnolia Network when they have Delicious Destinations" on, "The Travel Channel" sometimes and "Animal Channels" too. I like other non educational shows also and movies but...

    Almost Free No Data Caps Internet T.V. And Movies

    I've been reading about VPN's also and they sound great if the carrier is intentionally throttling you or the web site you like but if the carrier throttles because of heavy traffic your VPN won't work at all. The carriers like to throttle steaming sites that they blackmail for faster streaming...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    I can't use Escapees. They do not have any plans or engagements in Nevada. Right now Escapees are useless to me. Nevada has a hell of a lot of BLM land but they are not here.

    Almost Free No Data Caps Internet T.V. And Movies

    Right now I'm looking at "T-Mobile" because they have "Binge On" which is their T.V. streaming service. You have to pay the T.V. service like "Sling", "Hulu" and others but the Binge On T.V. streaming service is FREE with a T-Mobile phone account. Lots of people here are liking "Visible" which...

    Here's a story of a man that used a P.O. box for his permanent address and got away with it

    I was told by someone at Escapees that Nevada allows a mail service address on Nevada drivers licenses so I went looking to find out. Nevada won't allow any P.O. boxes no how no way. All the Nevada DMV states is that you have to have a permanent address and you can't use a P.O. Box because they...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    I'm looking into the "Escapees" thing right now. It's probably going to be the best situation for me at this time because all of my family are gone. I just started checking into them and I read a passage that stated their mailing address can be used as a residential address. We'll see if this is...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    I'm in Nevada. there are NO state taxes. I will have several mechanical items in my van but I will not purchase insurance to cover the loss of them because I will have the funds to cover the replacement of them if they get stolen. I will have a vehicle alarm activated when I have to leave my van...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    OK, this is another issue I have to address. I hope my insurance company I have now will stick with me since I've been with them for well over 40 years but just in case I found an insurance company that's built just for van lifers and RVer's. This insurance company appears to be new or fairly...

    I Need Some Advice On T.V. Service In My Van

    Here's a website on the speeds everyone needs to get decent video. Some internet carriers will slow your speed to .05 mbps and a few streaming sites are good with this but the optimal speed you need is 3.0 mbps to get standard definition and is the standard with all the other streaming sites...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    Yeah, that would be a problem for sure that's why I'm getting involved now. I've watched some You Tube videos and a few say they went through this and they won't give the RV insurance without certain amenities that have to be installed by professional contractors. I'm in Nevada and plan to...

    Options for maintaining car insurance with no physical address

    I've been with my auto insurance company for over 40 years so I wonder if they would bump me when I become a van dweller?

    I Need Some Advice On T.V. Service In My Van

    Yeah your correct but from what I read and didn't mention is that the T.V. stations still transmit an analog signal but it gets turned in to a digital signal somewhere along the way. This is just what I read. I was looking to see open air channels and most were junk. Like you stated I could...
