Insurance is ridiculous in Orlando. I am stuck here until June 2020 now though. Aside from that, you need a physical address for your concealed weapons permit. They mail the permit to you; which I think is stupid. OTOH, no state inspections, tags can go 2 years but the price is the same as doing...

OPSEC is operational security. Basically, don't advertise things you don't want people to know. Hide things you don't want seen, etc....

1. Probably my biggest issue - sleeping. How does one get good quality sleep? Currently I have insomnia problems while sleeping in a house so thats my major concern. How have people found sleeping in a van? Any problems? How to make it most comfortable? Build a comfortable bed. For me, light...

I second USAA. I use them and a SB credit Union

You know, people always mention trees and fireworks. How do you actually get those gigs? I have never had any luck.

I am all over now. Living in the van and loving it. Had a few cold nights so far this winter though.

Yeah, been thinking about that. Might as well get them, but it has been raining it's butt off all day. SO only did the pump for now.

I have made it back to Orlando. I should be fixing it in  the morning. I ran with the cap loose and at night stopping whenever the gauge got over 3/4. Thanks for the great tips everyone.

The original owner did not run a good mix, at least not when I got it. I did replace all fluids when I bought it though.

It is not coming out the weep hole. I wish it was. If that was the issue, I would do the 20 gallons of water and run for Norfolk since I am marginally closer to there at this point. It is definitely coming from high at the rear of the pump. A rusted pin hole in the back plate is my guess. I am...

That isn't a chevy 350 motor there. I am 100% sure it is leaking from the back of the pump. There is a little plate on the back. My first thought was that one of the screws holding the little plate had come loose, but they are tight. There must be a pin hole in the plate itself. The van has 250k...
