    Why is the resale value of Class A's so low compared to Class C's?

    Everything is a compromise in this lifestyle, Scarlett...we are on a fixed income also, and have been boondocking for over 2 years. My wife is disabled, which adds to the difficulties encountered. We are also on our third RV. The first 2 were conversion bus, and a conversion box truck, which I...

    Vandwellers and Social Media, Forums, etc.

    Brad, it hit's most people at one time or another...internet, social media, etc. is just a tool. Use or misuse. It is, like another said, part of the Matrix. And unlike another said, I don't think you need "moderation,." Lurking is fine. After all, this is your tool. Use it as you wish.

    simple (and CHEAP!) battery box design

    Nice job, wilcofan...but, your vent tube should be larger, and towards the top of the container, considering the weight of the gases is lighter than air. Also, for a convection vent system, you will need an influx hole the same size as the vent towards the bottom of the container on the opposite...

    Motorcycles and Scooters

    If ya'll go to the web site "webbikeworld" there is an interesting series of articles on modifying a suzuki dr650 for real world dual purpose. Stock, it ain't so great.

    Motorcycles and Scooters

    I will rephrase on my bike. It is by no means a "light" bike. Even putting it in my trailer, at 500 lbs., it is a bitch. I won't have a bike less than 650 cc's. The reason? Ya gotta get on the freeway once in a while when running for supplies, and if you can't get up to speed fast enough, you...

    process server?

    Hey thinker, let me rephrase....I believe that this alternative lifestyle (vandwellers) for people who live mostly off the grid is a statement and lifestyle that moves away from any form of "doing the line dance" for the powers that be. Certainly, we all have to have some form of income to...

    process server?

    I would be extremely careful with this, as blars said...also, with our alternative lifestyles, how does it sit with you to join the enslavement movement?

    Motorcycles and Scooters

    Hi, owl.<div>&nbsp; I carry/ haul a '97 suzuki bandit 1200, in an enclosed trailer. I tow with a modified box truck. The mileage on the box truck ain't great, the mileage on the motorcycle is about 40 mpg. I run for groceries and the like with the bike. I started with a Moto Guzzi cruiser...

    What diesel engines should one avoid? Tranny's?

    Had a 6.0 on my first conversion. Don't remember the tranny. The white smoke advice is right on the $$$. White smoke started pouring out of the exhaust after I had nearly completed the conversion. Total loss......

    Bike Camping for Bri

    Bri, I had to lose the Guzzi in NC, mountain gravel &nbsp;at our boondocking sites...the guzzi was a touring bike. I sold it and went with the short wheel base bandit. Handles quicker and leaner, turn on a dime...but it ain't no dual purpose!
