I know the Walmart in Twin Falls permits overnight sleeping.

I am curious what this park is?

As a small woman I can’t set up an “EZ-up” by myself. I got this instead: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TMBEMQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don’t know how the packed size compares to the EZup but I love this for buggy/sunny areas where I want the outside shelter...

I don't post very often, but I have been coming to CRVL for about 10 years now. I was looking at living nomadic and came across the blog, which was full of useful information for me. Eventually I decided that a van rather than an RV was the best choice for me. It took nearly 2 years to find my...

I bought a 2002 E350 with 130k on it. It has run like a champ for me. I have done the brakes once, and replaced a power steering hose. It has 170k on it now and still going strong. I have no regrets! My brother had a E250 as a work van, it did great for him until he had the spark plug thread...

I have a fuse between the panels and the controller which I pull before doing anything else per Renogy's recommendation for exactly the reason you describe.

I am wired in parallel. according to the controller I am getting .3 volts from the panels.

Restarting, always the first thing to try!  ;)  I tried that already, I have a switch between the battery and the controller so I used that, and checked the fuses since I was there (removing them and checking that they were ok and then putting them back in) unfortunately, that did not help. The...

About 2 years ago I bought from Amazon, 3 100w Renogy Panels, the ROVER 40A Controller and 2 AGM Batteries (155ah each). Installed them and they have worked fine for the last almost two years. Yesterday afternoon I was cleaning and noticed that the Controller claims it is nighttime, and my...

I don't know about the OP but I am also in MN working the harvest...kinda. Arrived Sept 22, did not work at all until Oct 19. As of today have worked 3 days, none of them more than 6 hour shifts. The rain/flooding this year in this area is the worst in 30+ years and has made getting equipment...

Like Roaming, I spent the summer work camping in CO. Took lots of photos!

I prefer silence. I watch the scenery, I watch out for the dangerously stupid people, and I take a break every 2 hours that includes walking around for 10 minutes or so.

This shows up for me: https://www.amazon.com/Engel-Portable-Tri-Voltage-Freezer-Plastic/dp/B001SNWCFO/ref=sr_1_3?crid=VP4B7N2RT27B&keywords=engel+fridge&qid=1563226319&s=gateway&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sprefix=engel+fr%2Caps%2C333&sr=8-3

I used Coolworks to get my current job with a rafting company in CO. I was in NC when I got the job (finishing up training my replacement at my FT job). I interviewed for and was offered 2 other jobs before accepting this one. I have lots of customer service experience as well as industrial...

Hmmmmm that sounds interesting, now I am going to have to ponder how to do this...the wheels in my brain get WAY more mileage than the rubber ones on my van! ;)
