The instigators of this fire stopped “camping” the minute they moved their rig from one part of the lot to another. If they had put that hot cookstove into their camper before leaving an actual campground before parking next to their victims, could they sue the campground? There is every...

How does this involve overnighting at Walmart? The family wasn’t there overnight and the minivan could have been a Buick sedan for all that it matters. This was something that could have happened in the parking lot of a Sears or a McDonald’s. It’s tragic but has ZERO to do with nomadic living.

Also probably not the best idea in a large paved parking lot.

The power required to REfreeze a thawed blue ice block - over and over again - would be insane. Most freezers are designed to KEEP frozen food frozen, not to freeze room temp items. They are not ice makers.

Nomads don’t live at campgrounds. That’s for “campers.”

Everything sounds “political” to those without an understanding of politics.

Reminds me of the first thing I learned in vanlife: Never look like you live in your van.

Especially since that’s where they will be mailing the new license.

But is that mailing address printed on your actual license? Or is the use of an alternate address simply an offered convenience?

You are a licensed “resident” of Georgia using a Virginia address to receive FLORIDA benefits? You know this is fraud, right?

That license technically expired after you moved out of the state. They usually give you about a 45-day “grace period” for you to get re-licensed at your new home but, after that, you are technically unlicensed.

Every DMV in the country, at least in the four or five states I have been licensed in, REQUIRES a residential address for license and registration. No “mailing address” option.

Most states will NOT accept a post office box as a residential address. Which is why so many nomads use South Dakota, which has comically loose registration requirements (and only a day or two “residency” requirements). I am home based in Missouri where the DMV accepts addresses in UPS mailbox...

My roadside assistance includes towing - and towing on a flatbed since I drive a Class B motorhome - which would be to a tire shop to buy a new tire. Carrying a spare is just dead weight to me. And dead weight is lost miles per gallon.

Not so much as they used to. See my post on the subject elsewhere on this thread.
