LOL!!! :) For the Muggles... I'm personally convinced that a lot of the philosophy of Extreme Programming applies to vehicle dwelling. :) For example, one Tenet of The Faith is... "you ain't gonna need it". That refers to programmers who spend all manner of time on non-core stuff, instead of...

Shiny! Definitely looks like she'd fit in with CP (Cherterr's Pack)! :) When convenient, could you reshoot that pic, to better show her "space"? cherterr's pic really captures their mini-home. :) Qxxx: Good idea! There should really be an annual photo contest with the theme "pet approved...

Hmmmm.... multiple color options, brain crashing (it's been a week & a half of urban noise - Grrr!Argh!). But, you both like red. If I buy one today, will go with red. :) During these last few days, I've had my first Walmart & Aldi runs in 4 1/2 months, plus got a small payment from one of my...

Good question! :) I can definitely smell exhaust fumes inside, though it varies a lot. If I'm at all nervous, I lower the driver's side window. It looks like it's behind (rearward of) the muffler, but it's hard (for me) to tell from the inspection report. I just sent off an email requesting a...

Crofter: The bread is to get most of the yummy final morsels. :) Plus, I pretty much only eat whole wheat bread, so it's an excuse to consume more fiber. I do use a bit of paper towel before the hot water real wash step, and as the final step afterwards. I'm not a paper towel "hog", but...

Part of that is their "recruiters" have that Problem with their Brains being Missing. :( Over the last couple of years, I sporadically receive LinkedIn spam from their recruiters, and every time I've asked they haven't been able to articulate what qualifications I have that they're interested...

Ser Owl, that's not my perception, and, as I've mentioned I use a collaborative killfile app that tracks (both algorithmically & by vetted human assessments) all posts here. You are definitely not on any trustworthy "naughty" lists. :) So, back to needing help... There's a (small-ish?) hole in...

Ohhhhh, you read my mind... Pup porn! :) :) :) I really like the way you've stacked their individual "spots" there! Close enough to "be" a true pack, but each still has his/her own space. They all seem content/happy. :) Thanks! :)

cherterr: Sounds like you're having a hoot & a holler! :) How are your PackMates holding up?!? More info please. :) P.S. Wisdom from Star Trek... "Chocolate is a serious thing." "Never met a chocolate I didn't like"

Laura: You've asked a good & reasonable question. I'm with Guy on this. The candle claim has been floating around the 'net for decades. I think the risk to reward ratio is excessive. :( Better to have decent cold weather sleeping gear. It doesn't have to be high-end. I used to have a very...

Mary Ellen: Thanks for posting - you're the first to have a similar scenario to the OP. It also is very reassuring to those of us who "merely" have intermittent issues. :) I blame/credit JimInDenver for inspiration on the Cinnamon front. :) His suggestion was for a different scenario (masking...

Ah, of course, bad hip needs accommodation! I use my bed as my desk & chair, which is very space efficient. I sit cross-legged, which would be an issue with a bad hip. That's one of the scenarios not covered in YT van-porn, right?!?

Thanks y'all! CityWoman: I've wondered if the pea soup porn pics are faked, and rely on something like an immersion/other blender to create the classic texture. Have seen those (immersion blenders) used on PBS cooking shows and they're mighty shiny. If I were in s&b and had a budget, I would...

... and cinnamon, before and/or after. :) For the record, I've had four bouts of diarrhea while living in my van. First time was while urban/Walmart boondocking, so used W's washroom, but after the third trip, punked out and took a Loperamide which definitely helped (Disclaimer: carefully...

Excellent summary Zonie! The only minivan I looked at was an Uplander, for the reasons CityWoman stated (lots of availability). I liked the space, but the particular one I looked at had had some gremlins (ironic, eh?), so I passed on it. CityWoman, have you considered a Toyota minivan? That...
