I've been cheating on the 10 second purge becuase the line is already full after the first startup. I think the point of the 10 seconds is to get the supply line full. If you do that everytime its just putting propane into the air. Maybe that extra propane is what is flaring up.

I normally crack my windows about an inch and open my fan. I was turning my fan on low but it sucks all the heat out so now i just open the fan and let the hot air rising escape through the fan. When it snows I only open the fan becuase the snow blows under my rain guards.

My wave 3 flares up during the 45-60 second startup right before I turn it to high. Has that happened to anyone else? It burns the hair off of my arms almost everytime it does it but it doesn't do it on every start up.

I would say around 20F is where it starts to fall short. I've used mine in -18F but my feet were cold. It has alot to do with what you can take and your setup. My heater doesn't point at my feet so they are the first to get cold.

I bought some rubber treads made by goodyear at walmart. I've never had to use them and hopefully I don't. I also carry a chain come along which is better than nothing and that's only if there's trees or something to hook to. Idk if I can air down to 10 with my tires. I was told by the tire...

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like a good trip. I was more concerned about any mountain passes or steep grades I might run into and the weather starting to turn.

Has anyone traveled it? I hear it's good but Im leaving Ohio in early December to go to Arizona. I thought about making it a part of my route but do you think December is too late in the year?

I have the rain guards too and it works for rain but the snow blows up under the cracked window even with the fan off. Do you think just opening the fan would be safe enough?  I have a wave 3 and a maxx air in a chevy express ?

Can I hook a 120v battery charger to my batteries while the solar is charging?  I have 2 12v agm in parallel. So if I can hook the charger up, would I hook to one postive on one battery and one negative on the second battery and charge them like 1 big battery or charge them separately by hooking...

I use plain vinegar in a spray bottle no water. Wipe all excess food off and then spray with vinegar and wipe off. Im careful to make sure no food particles are left behind.

Most of the free camping in Ohio is in the SE area. AEP recreation land, wayne national forest.

I went in a few times to ask some questions before signing up and one person told me there is a limit of 10 per month on using locations other than your home gym. They don't really tell you that upfront unless you happen to deal with the right person. It's no where online either as far as I...

I'm in my 40s, live in a van and from the NE. I have family or could get a house or apartment anytime but the van is working out great and I plan to stay in it as long as I can.

I've never heard of oatmeal in meatloaf. I use peanut butter instead of eggs.

I insure my van as a regular van and the contents are covered by my emergency fund. It doesn't make sense to me to pay extra to the insurance company to insure my things then have to make a claim to get that money back. Am I missing something important here?
