I've discovered this recently and have been binge watching her videos on what people go through buying RVs. There are some horror stories for sure, like this couple who made a 120k mistake. I wanted to bring up this channel here for awareness. She gives a lot of interesting information on...

I understand all of this. But I still need the insurance for legal requirements; whether they pay-up or not. That is my question: which insurance company would be willing to insure my setup, besides StateFarm.

For me the problem is that my van is NOT registered as an RV. I think most, if not all, insurance companies WOULD register a registered RV vehicle, sure. But mine isn't.

I currently have State Farm, but they've recently cancelled some of the discounts and the new rates are a little to hard to make peace with. I've found is that some insurance companies will only insure a van if it's commercially registered OR they will insure a van if it's registered as an RV...

so then other than a few spots on blm land out-west there is no where I can just drive by and park anywhere in the continental United States?

South and south-west US is my primary destination while DRY camping. TX unfortunately doesn't seem to have any BLM land and only few National Forest sites. Does this mean I need to purchase https://texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/posProductDetails.do?id=70656&contractCode=TX this ^^ pass to...

I'm considering the purchase of https://store.usgs.gov/pass/index.html I'm new to camping in my van and am having trouble finding spots. I thought I'd be able to just find BLM/National Forest close to me and camp anywhere but of course that's not the case. I'm ok with paying, but not so much...

I have jackery 1000 https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Explorer-Generator-Emergency/dp/B083KBKJ8Q/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=jackery+1000&qid=1620677468&sr=8-3 and I would like to power this fridge ...

I need stable, high availability internet, but only very low bandwidth. I can do just fine with 100KBp/s. But again it needs to be stable. I'd like to go as far as possible away from cities, towns etc. Not interested in stealth camping. My dream is somewhere in rural Texas, Arizona, NM, Utah. So...

There shouldn't be any adapters. My plan is to have trucker's antenna attached to the magnetic mount but the wire from antenna would lead directly to the red amplifier box, same as the original unit? Basically the magnet mount will be physically attached to the antenna no electric connections.

I am considering Weboost product like the one here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L9SG331/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 to keep in my van. I want the one with the trucker antenna to get maximum benefits of signal boosting. However, I do not want the installation to be...

I use thetford portapotti and use HappyCamper powder. There is not smell when using but definitely a smell when dumping. I was curious as to what else I might do to reduce the smell. I found an old post where Rainier70 user suggests to add Oxyboost/oxyclean powder. <QUOTE> Here is some info...

my post is really two separate unrelated questions 1. for the DS. Do I have to go inside to pay first or to at least let the attendants know that I need to use DS first? 2. For the second I really was confused by the pricing that I've heard from several sources. I guess I may just call them(the...

I have two practical questions  1. Dump stations. I'm ok with paying to use DS. Seems Love's is everywhere and they have them for a charge. Do I need to  get Love's store card to use DS there or do I just go inside to pay or is there a way to pay right at the DS? 2. Camping at state parks...
