    vhf over the air out door tv antenna

    Mobile sport I use the antenna at my property in northern Nevada, at this time I don't have it mounted to a van. It could be easily mounted on a van and removed, it's small and easy to store inside the van.

    Traction, not getting Stuck!

    I had traction problems with a ranger 4×4, had newer tires on it but the tires would just spin on slick surfaces. I put new shocks on it and it made a huge difference! Also keep some kitty litter in the van in the winter, works great if your stuck on ice!

    Claim as a Van or RV

    I believe in the kiss principle on insurance. Many have tried registering as an RV and getting RV insurance and had problems with this, most insurance companies look at the vin number.

Our body is complex and needs many vitamins and minerals to function properly, if the body doesn't get these then over time things start to go wrong in the body and cause problems.

    WIFI/Smart Meter - anyone van dwelling to avoid these?

    These are not the only ones to worry about, cell phones, tablets, computers, the wiring in your home and a van all produce energy that affects people. I have found I get the best sleep when I sleep in a tent, maybe this is why I do because I'm away from all that unwanted energy invading my body.

    Tires on Concrete (Cement?)

    This is the first time I've heard of this! Dried mud on tires or boots will suck the moisture out of anything and dry air, the sun will ruin a set of also. Over time there isn't a lot we can do to prevent tires from dry roting, all we can do is replace them when we start to see the cracks...
