I got an AC unit. I don't have solar (next step!) but I am renting an RV lot for the summer which has an electric hookups. The question is, how and where do I install this thing? The back door on the left seems the best bc the panel is already exposed. I am not sure if I should install it in...

That's a good idea. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

I'm in Austin and have contacted rv parks within a 30 mile radius. I didn't contact any with the word "resort" because they have standards that my van won't meet. But I'm still having trouble with this. They want the units to be 10 years or less old. I know a place outside San Antonio that I...

Thanks for your replies. I wanted to see if it was possible before I decided. There's an inexpensive RV lot that I can rent and have electric where I can use a portable AC and fans. Since the van is a small space, and it's in shade, I think it will work. I stayed there before and know the owner...

I live in a hot humid climate and right now I'm with roommates. But the situation here is not working out. And I can't stand having roommates again after one too many bad experiences. I've literally been bullied and sexually harassed here. I planned on full timing it in my van when it gets...

I see no reason not to work for a year, pay down debt and buy the vehicle you want. I also see no reason why you can't do it now and work as a nomad using current skills or getting new ones. I made the mistake of listening to people who were "wiser" than me for too long. They weren't.  Mostly...

Hi Caleb. I got a Ford Clubwagon as well but its a 98 with a high top. It actually came with more miles than you have now but its a strong engine. Also currently converting mine.

After San Antonio Im going to El Paso and the Big Bend area. So im basically driving across.

Hello. So I got a Ford high top van and, with help from someone on here,  got about 60% of the floor done. I tried doing the plywood cuts myself but I lack the skill, tools, space and help. My friend had to leave the area for a while. Im in Austin atm but headed to San Antonio soon. Then out to...

Im 5'2". I started doing this for a few weeks in a Toyota Camry. I used an inflatable car mattress but i had back surgery so found it wasn't enough room. If you have a previous injury, you may need more room like me. I got a Ford high top van with 6 feet standing roome and its 10 feet long in...

Whoo Hoo! I got a Ford High Top. A mechanic that checked out another van for me actually found it for me literally hours later after he checked the first one. An associate of his got it at an auction. I got very lucky. A friend on here, WanderingScribe, has been instrumental in helping me get it...

I will probably drive everyday but not always far. I will probably be a snow bird. I need to power a fridge and to charge my laptop. That or a cooler and laptop. Stove will be butane and everything else will be battery powered.

I am thinking about getting the Renergy 100 watt kit but uncertain if I need more panels. I am lost on finding the info on how much power that translates to.  The other option I was considering is an electric cooler charged with a portable battery charger (no battery). Just plug it into the...
