I have some friends in your area that might be able to help you with your van. You're only about 30-45 minutes from Lake Somerville. My family is in Willis, TX (1 hour north of Houston ..30 min south of Huntsville, TX). If you get in too tight a spot let me know. I'm a contractor ("work camper"...

Welcome TG !! I'm a 13 yr nomad work camping in a TT in the oil and gas industry. I'm downsizing to a shuttle bus ASAP. One piece of advice I got that will sure to help me when I do my build and help you now ,is to look for RV salvage yards and RV salvage auctions. You can get a wrecked new...

I'm a native Texan. Still my domicile. (Willis, TX...hour north of Houston.). I've been a nomad work camper for 13 yrs.. I'll be in North Little Rock, AR for the prob about a year for this pipeline project I'm on. If you come this way send me a PM. I'll pay for you a few nights here a the KOA...

For your lighting I suggest Luci Lights that are solar and recharge themselves. I just put mine on the dash during the day and they last all night. Depending on the inside square footage of your rig one or two will plenty most likely. Then you can save battery juice since they each have their...

I'll be glad to donate. PM with details. I prefer PayPal. 

First I recommend that you have a compression check done on the engine (If the mechanic did not do one). This will tell you alot about the condition of the engine. Also, no matter what you do if you keep it is to get you a couple of really really strong magnets and put one on the bottom of each...

Very Well ! I have had my camper waxed for 8 months. I'm stay in the southeast Texas /Louisiana mostly and it has not yellowed or degraded any. And this wax is probably 7-10 times thicker than the wipe on wipe off stuff. Just be warned....when you put in on..it's staying on. It takes the ZEP...

I have experience in this. Very fast and cheap way to seal and UV protect the top. Believe it or not ...ZEP Brand Wet-Look Floor Polish. You just wash the top really good then mop it on with a sponge mop (wrap a micro fiber towel over the sponge). One gallon is $25 at Lowes. Put in on straight...

Pleasure Way... BTW ...Have you compared the hours on the generators? Before you buy either one be sure to drive it about 30 miles on highway in city. Also is a good idea during your test drive after to check the codes on the computers. Make sure you inspect every inch of every sealed edge, roof...

Thanks for the pic! I'm looking for a shuttle bus now. On the set up pictured..Wonder if there is way to be able to mount them where a person could flip them over where the front is facing towards the vehicle when not in use. But could be flipped without actually taking them off completely. Then...

I feel the need to let you know that if you're buying a new cargo trailer and there is a weight issue. Make sure you find out what the weight is allowed in the nose of the trailer (might be separate from the tongue weight. I had one. I didn't pay attention to the "warning/notice" decal sticker...

Everyone may have diff opinions on one vandweller youtuber. But she is young like you and inspriational. Look up Hobo Ahle vids. Feel free to PM me with questions if you can't find them on the forum. "Whatever It Takes" David

What kind of work does your hubby do? If you don't mind me asking. The economy is booming in Texas and "way" less taxes/ cost of living etc. David

I've been full time in 5th wheel TT for 11 years traveling for work. Let me know if there is anything I might be able to share with you. Come on in and take a seat.

I hope not to get off topic. But has anyone ever cut a hole in the floor pan of the rig and inset the shower pan in there? Then it could be covered up with a floor board when not in use. I know much will depend on how much clearance there is under the floor of rig.
