    Drugs for nomads???

    Lots go to Mexico to get them.  Bob wells has a video showing where to park, etc. They are a lot cheaper than in the US. If you go to RTR in Jan, there will be a caravan going down. If your a veteran, you can go thru the va and get them.

    How do you get gasoline from your vehicle?

    HAHA A Tenn. credit card, use a clear hose so you can see the gas when it comes thru the hose. Stick one end in the tank and suck on the other. When u see the gas coming put the hose in the generator.

    New and starting to panic

    I had a fuel pump that went out in mine. Of course you cant buy just a fuel pump any more, it all comes in a module. Needless to say with towing, repair bill was 1300. The repair center has a deal called ezpay where you have to pay it in 90 days and they deduct it automatically from your bank...

    Questions about solar set up

    Just a FYI. Hooking batteries in series adds your voltage so 2 6 volts would be 12 volts . Hooking up vatteries in parallel adds your current so 2 100amp/hour batteries would give you 200 amp/hour. Hope this helps. Bill

    Ford truck recall

    Ford recalling 2015 F-150 and 2017 super duty truck. I received an email and i saw a fb post that Ford is recalling the trucks for a door latch. Apparently the door will not open when its supposed to. I guess the super duty truck would be the F350. If you have one contact your dealer. Bill

    Hi there

    Since you play the guitar,  you might try trying to sell music for everyone using music in their programs, even videos. I have done several for the weather channel. You won't get rich but its income. About your only expense is buying either a mixer or mixer software.  I went with the software...

    Do you LOVE coffee?

    I really like farmers brothers but it's not sold in stores only restaurants. You have to talk a restaurant that has it into selling you a bag of it. Also means you have to grind it as well. Bill

    New and starting to panic

    Absolutely doable. You might want to watch Bob's videos on how some have set up their vehicle to live out of it. Just nothing to it but to do it.

    Chevy / GMC paint peeling years?

    Its not just Chevy, its everyone. Unfortunately clear kote is not UV proof just UV resistant. Enough sun and it will start peeling. The actual RV's use a UV proof clear kote which is why you just see vehicles peeling and the RV's do not. Follow the money, lol. Unfortunately the only solution is...
