    '88 Sunrader -

    Thanks for the tips. Good to know about the engineered roof. The roof was definetly *not* all bonded together; looks like they went cheap and put as small bead of adhesive on it to keep it to the roof. Lots of it just fell off the roof with no signs of adhesive anywhere. :( Was looking to add in...

    Green insulation

    Just picked up a fiberglass RV. Lots of water damage, so pulling out the walls & redoing the windows to reseal the rig.  I was looking at possibly using wool for  the insulation - has anyone here used wool for insulation? wool insulation in a fiberglass rig? Pros & Cons?  Also, there is a...

    Gardening...

    I was looking at how to take my succulents along with me. I've spent so much time acquiring them & just don't want to lose them or have to 'adopt' them out! Was thinking of specific places in my rig to put them while traveling - liked the idea of the storage areas. Also, someone I know has a...

    eBikes

    I saw the Lectric ebikes on the HOWA page when they did giveaways. I just purchased a Lectric 2.0 bike and they are supposed to be able to manage 300+ lbs. The bike feels like it is a bit big for me (5.6), but feels good for my guy who is 6 ft 3. Not sure if it feels so big bc my last bike was a...

    Algodones, Mx Dental work

    My other half is in need of three root canals with crowns. He is fortunate to have some dental coverage up here in the states, but it does not cover much. He's getting one done as it is getting infections often, but the other two can wait a little bit longer.  Looking for recommendations for...

    '88 Sunrader -

    Hello All! A brief overview of my current situation followed by some questions after the ***'s.  I've been out doing car camping part time & living in town with friends/family while taking care of a family member for a while now. I just purchased a 21' 1988 Toyota Sunrader (4 cyl). The RV has...

    Tired of driving for ice.

    PLEASE NOTE this thread is asking about dometic fridges and solar equipment not how to live without refrigeration. I am looking to live with refrigeration. I have limited access to internet, so having to scroll through replies that are not relevant to the question costs. Thank you for staying on...

    Is it okay to unhook my battery?

    Yes, I changed the battery after and noticed the same re presets and clock. I do have a Ford, so it sounds like a similar situation.

    Women Only: Feeling frustrated; need to vent.

    I have the tree straps, but have ended up in places either with no trees or with restrictions on hanging hammocks. :(

    Women Only: Feeling frustrated; need to vent.

    Hard to pare down, yes. It has been slow going, but I'm figuring out what I actually use vs. what I think I'll use (and even do). The hardest part has been the variety of situations I've ended up in. I'll leave things at home because leaving with a stuffed to the brim rig leaves me just as...

    Women Only: Feeling frustrated; need to vent.

    I have one, but it is difficult to get into. I carry a small step ladder to get to it. Mostly I end up keeping the stuff that *might* be needed (like Bob mentioned in a video that some sites require you to have a tent set up even if you don't use it).  (General response to other replies) The...

    Is it okay to unhook my battery?

    Yes, my engine battery. I'm not at all handy or knowledgeable when it comes to electronics or other mechanical/vehicle issues. Someone I knew had a secondary battery for running the radio, but I don't know anything about this. Even knowing where to start with installing a switch is well beyond...

    Women Only: Feeling frustrated; need to vent.

    I'm feeling a little frustrated. I've been going out here and there for a few weeks to a month on the road (usually by myself). Now I'm planning and prepping to head out to the RTR and have a better idea of some of the conditions that are out there on the road. I'm in an SUV, but space is still...
