pet owners working full-time but only making 11-15 an hour need options that are affordable. Wish I could afford doggy day care packages for my pet on the daily workday.. not all of us have the same luxury, but at least the pet would be able to come home every night to their owner and know they...

I rent a 1 bedroom apartment for 1,000 a month with utilities. and that is 30 bucks a day in cost... and your telling me I couldn't use that same space (in a commercial setting) to rent out just 6 kennels in that big space and rent them 10 bucks a day for a 30 day month locked-in rate-making...

That requires making an appointment during hours of operation and giving proper notice and then picking them up within the set time frame. Imagine a key-fob place where you had access to 24 hours a day and could drop off and pick up your pet whenever based on your daily life. ie boss makes you...

o_O ...it's almost concerning how many times people suggest plastic totes, after ... I mention I'm looking for an alternative to plastic totes that waste space because they are V-shaped instead of U-shaped. Even the higher quality ones have wide lips on the top for the lid that prevent them from...

From my understanding Toyota wanted the new Sienna to be more "upscale" and to appeal to a higher class of people. I do hope they introduce a new "touring" like edition that is more designed to be a minivan camper. I mean conversion vans were popular and still are. Toyota has a great...

Surly I'm not the only person trying to merge van life with being a pet owner and having a fulltime job and going outside of the minivan. Could the solution to many of us be "Pet Hostel/Pet apartments? Imagine the following... key fob access 24 hours a day to the establishment. Then pet...

Here is pictures and a brief explanation of my build. My build was focused around a twin size ikea foam mattrace. On the right is a shelf turned into a desk Under the desk/kitchen counter is my fridge I found it SUPER easy to build these shelfs to the uneven floor and slanted walls. The far...

I been struggling to figure out what I want to do as well.. So know that you are NOT alone in trying to figure it all out. I would say stay clear from Uber or Lyft. From what I been hearing they are starting to become less profitable for the drivers. More so now than ever with the higher gas...

I wouldn't say 4,000 for a treadmill is to high depending on it's maintenance costs and dependability. I regularly pay $30 bucks a month for my gym membership so provided it lasted 12+ years with no maintenance costs beyond $200 bucks that wouldn't be that bad if the upfront cost could be...

Oh how exciting! I remember my first time haha... Before I moved into the minivan I took a long weekend to try out minivan life. From Minnesota I got on I-94 and headed west and got into North Dakota. I really wanted to actually hit Montana but I stopped halfway across North Dakota. I found...

Minivan life taught me you don't need much of anything to cook nice "guy" friendly meals. Mostly heat and serve and cooking ie boiling noodles, and frying an egg or toasting bread on top of your egg in the pan.. is very simple and easy with just a few basic tools. Since going back to an...

...the question SHOULD Be why are they trying to break into your van? Reason is because it's desireable... so focus on making your Van LESS of a target. ie park in areas where the cars around you are "nicer" and are more desireable. Also making sure it's clear you don't have items of value...

I been thinking of trying to find some tin storage bins to replace old broken plastic bins from the dollar store. The ones from the dollar store are always more V shaped than H shape so they always waste space which is a pet peeve of mine! I do always go for a good duffle bag when given the...

90% of the time I worried about electricity over the last 2 years was when I was living in an apartment! I built a 200 watt solar system paired with a 200ah battery and their was only 2 days I was mildly concerned about lack of power. One when it was raining for the 3rd day and the trickle in...

Yes, but that greatly influences the van life as a result. Requires to be near the gym and to then drive daily to said gym. Right now I have an apartment because I have a small down and my rig is a minivan. I have been getting closer to planning a minivan life, that allows me to keep working...
