    Is this a black water or grey water drain?

    Rvs have a black tank and a grey tank both of which drain out the same valve. The black handle is pulled first and is normally closest to the valve opening. Once it has drained the grey water handle is pulled. This one is further up under the unit. Both should be closed once the tanks have...

    A standard deep cycle battery can run an ARB fridge for 5 days without charging. Deep cycle batteries should not be discharged over 50 %. A simple 100 watt solar panel will easily keep up with recharging. The more appliances you add the more you will need to increase your storage capacity and...

    2 weeks in and I need help deciding

    Why would you say a fridge needs 400 amp hours and 4 batteries? A 12 volt fridge pulls 5 amps and that's not constant. If it were that's still only 120 amps per day.

    Dogs

    Huskies are in no way aggressive towards people, perhaps you are confusing them with another breed? Take your dogs and let them enjoy life as you do.

    Too Nice

    "Is that why so many live a mobile lifestyle, because they're too nice?" I think that may be one. The reasons folks live nomad are the same reasons many don't. One size doesn't fit. I've noticed that moving on gives some space but rarely solves problems. Changing your personality in order to...

    Organization

    Here goes, look at your space and delineate the "rooms". Bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom, have I forgotten any? What you own and use in your bedroom goes in or near that space. Kit, Lvng, Bthrm same plan. Use clear totes, so you can see whats in them without pulling them down, with...

    New guy and a question about when to travel to the SW this Spring

    I live in Az in the winter and travel the west in the summer. Az has a wide range of weather, it can be in the 90's in the south and snowing at the GC the same day. I would suggest visiting the southern part of the state in late April and moving north as the temps dictate. You can get long term...

    Van parking in Portland Oregon?

    My gut tells me this is not the police. I think it may be someone you know. You don't have to go to the station house, any cop can tell you if the " citations " are legit.

    advice please: SSDI for neurological/TBI and/or applying 10+ years late? [troll free]

    Where I am there are senior centers that refer to attorneys that specialize in helping low income seniors. Also try contacting your local bar association for referral. Most attorneys do pro bono work locally. Luck

    Don't take offense, this is not where you should be looking for legal advice. Talk to an attorney who works in the area that affects you.

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    " I want to remind people that BLM rules allow for you to dig a "cat hole" to put poop in. I have read the rules, and they have no restrictions on how big the hole can be (as long as it is at least 6 inches deep) or how much poop can go in there. They do not say that you can't put toilet paper...

    The green New deal

    Regardless of where you come down on this discussion the likely result is certainly out of our individual control. We all have an idea of how we would like to see our world and its future. One thing I believe is the type of person who lives this lifestyle, or aspires to live it, won't be...

    A THOUGHT

    The green New deal

    Currently there is no electric vehicle large enough to dwell in for most folks. Electric vehicles are more expensive than gas powered. Batteries last around 6 to 8 years and cost $5500 to replace. As time goes by it is not realistic to think that costs will come down, current models are heavily...
