You know the traditional cigerette lighter socket on the dash of your car? Most of them don't actually light cigerettes anymore but the socket has remaimed the same. This is a 12v socket, sometimea referres to as a ciggy socket. It connecta to your car battery which is 12v DC (direct current)...

I have a 2005 Ford E450 Shorty Bluebird Schoolbus, 5 windows. Cory350 has a Ford E350 van. I have something of a build log in "Captains Logs". I am not a mechanic. I have been uncomfortable in traditional motor homes since I was about 12. I'm just too big of a person. I'm not the person to ask...

I don't have much first jand experience with prebuilt ones as I built my own. I can say this with almost absolute certainty ... there are no all in ome units tjat you need to worry about off gassing. All of them use SEALED lead acid batteries and do not carry this risk. For your own convenience...

I answer them. I let "Heather" get an account specialist. I waste their time as much as I can. I have been teying to sell some high dollar stuff on Craigslist and have gotten the I'll send a check and once it clears will pick up scam. I've learned some interesting insults in Yaruba recently...

Call Ford. Ask them what tje standard battwry config is for that model. My guess is you have a fantom draw from the wheelchair lift. You DO NOT need that huge ass ag battery. That was to run the lift. Ford Super Duties seem to have 2 starters by default. The BB's bump the battery size to run the...

What year? Gasser or diesel? I just replaced the starters in my 2006 Ford E450 w/ 6.0L Dieael. 2 (two) 850cca Duracells. Set me back about $250. Specs was a little less but the starters were wired to the wheelchair lift as well. Don't replace just one. Always do both unless it's a warranty...

Yup. My skoolie is going back to the mechanic om Tuesday. I've got space for several cars or vans but another large rig might be too much. I'm still driving my daily driver so can get around. I would love to set up a group camp out once my rig is done getting worked on.

I'm not going to even pretend that I'm gonna.make that. "Help me Obi Wan Canoby!" Yer not my last hope but I need a few last bits of clue to get my solar finished.

I can't go that far till the house sells. I may head north ASAP not west. My mom wants to go to Newfoundland and she will be much happier seeing the rig in action before I head off in to the great unknown. If I had made it on time I might have convinced her to come to NVER with me. She's an...

So sad I missed this. Everything is taking so much longer tjan I hoped. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Just left my local Aldi. I'm tempted by the folding table and the pop up tent. The collapsable dish drainer is full size and so too big for just me. I would give them a meh quality and good price for product. The Dried Fruit and Nut Medley is tasty. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

And remember ... no insurance no tags. I have a COMMERCIAL RV policy for my skoolie. I don't get it and honestly don't care. I will be changing over to registration and insurance to SD here in the very near future.

The smallest have speed ratings that make them impraticle. Insurence and tags on trailers is an added expense that many would rather avoid. Trailers, especialy cheap ones don't handle dirt and gravel roads well. I am considering a trailer for my skoolie. Maybe a scooter on a hitch rack. We'll...

I suppose this is a question for Bob directly ... do we have PERMISSION to use your logo's and site name for printed products? I'm assuming you have these things copywrited ... copywritten ... uh ... registered as yours. :) If anyone is gonna do it for profit I would vote for Bob to get the...

A quick google search shows some interesting gear. The two burner propane stove with grill looks very enticing. I LOVE toast and it has what looks like a broiler not a grill. Reviews seem to indicate weekender quality and some great deals and some total garbage. YMMV

Dropped out the second week of 11th grade when i realized I was better read than my English teacher. Got my GED (in my home state there is no GED really, I have a full HS diploma. Nowhere on that piece of paper does it say GED). After that I spent a year + on the streets. Ended up with bleeding...

Let me know if you have specific questions about titles, registration, tags, and insurance. I wouldn't call myself an expert but my ex worked for the MVA for many years (you learn a lot about a spouses job) and I've had to do a ton of research to get my school bus titled as an RV, "house car"...

Good to see someone from The Land Down Under on these forums. How do visitors ever get used to hanging upside down like that? :)

Just like in a house you should have an offsite physical backup. If you don't travel far from home or return somewhere once or twice a year get a safe deposit box, store one hard drive in it. Every time you pass through town stop by sink the drives and swap them. Sent from my SM-G920V using...
