    That depends on the couple. You will not be living inside, just sleeping and getting out of the weather. Most cannot do it. A slide in is about the same space as a van. It is up to you to work it out. Try it for a long weekend and then a week, 2, or 3. Work out the problems for a "Best for...

    What about boondocking in small Texas towns?

    Unless you have lived there all of your life, I would not do it unless there is a free camping site. There is many different ways you will be asked to leave. Ask before stay any time.

    Storing generator and gas can

    Inside the van you will need an air tight box with a vent outside. Make sure it stays sealed. Gas goes bad after a month or 2. IF worried about it get gas without any ethanol (marine gas), it will not gum up. IF not using the gen for a while drain ALL gas out of it including all in carb. or...

    Romex anyone

    There is stranded romax. Some is finer than others. Solid tends to break with movement over time. The more strands the better.<br><br>James AKA Lynx

    Romex anyone

    Always use stranded wire in your van and outside. Any outside wiring needs to be waterproof that includes the plugs. <br><br>if you can afford it, use marine grade and solder connections. <br><br>James AKA Lynx

    12 Volt Travel

    Some of these have bad metals that get into your food and drinks. The power draw is quite a bit. You can bring to boil and then wrap and put in an ice chest. It will continue to cook for a very long time. <br><br>It takes very little time to start the propane stove. I see no reason for them...

    Ignoring a knock

    There is no money to be made on BLM Land unless you can make money via internet. Few can do that. The need to be close to where one can make money will depend on where one can live.<br><br>James AKA Lynx
