So has anyone else started van living because they have an issue with hoarding? Its not my only reason but its one of them, hoarding runs in my family and I started to notice it popping up in me and that was the last nail in my decision to van dwell because if I live traditionally it is going to...

Well while you are moving physically you are only worried about people and for that wasp spray right to the eyes, that stuff is cheap readily available and sprays 20 feet with accuracy.<br><br>Personally I don't understand why people are so dang gun happy, if someone breaks into my van I can...

Hey none of the your to young to be a hippy nonesense I ama 90's baby (yes I am a youngling) and I see myself as a hippy, I am all about embracing the love and the freedom the world has to offer <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;

No pictures yet, but thats what I plan to do this weekend before I do any more work, I haven't done much just pulled off the roof insulation because it had mildew (I couldn't notice it but my cousin who is helping me is horribly allergic and let me know) so expect pictures on saturday evening...

I saw those outside lock things like in your first post before and thought about adding it to the inside, my sliding door is a tad wonkey and doesn't like to close all the way sometimes so I would just close it properly somewhere safe pop the lock on it and then exit through the front doors&nbsp;

yeah I had a thought and maybe I was trying to be way to fancy way to fast, I am thinking if I can find a futon small enough to fit in the back (which I think I can) I am just gonna bolt that baby in place set up a food area, a potty area and a place to do stuff area and be happy with it, I can...

I will have to remember the sulfur talc mix thing I have never heard of it, and a good natural replant for mosquito, if you don't like covering yourself with chemicals is actually catsnip oil

there are a LOT of instructables on how to make simple evaporative coolers for $20- $50 and since its all the same principle it would work just as well.

yeah I am sure you all know exactly what I mean, I just wish someone else who I worked with did,&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/bawl.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> they keep making rape van jokes&nbsp;

yeah I saw this earlier, I love them

Oh I like the idea of the hydraulic fluid funnel, I can't believe I never thought of it.

goodness now that I have my van I just want to be done with my conversion process, out of the army and on the road already. I have the wanderlust bad right now and its driving me crazy

Ok so I feel kind of foolish asking this question but how do I make it so that the wood frame of the bed stays in place? Bolt it down or? and how would I even do that in the first place I am a total noob at all of this

If I was boondocking in a residential area I would say that I am in the process of moving across country and started to get sleepy so I looked to find a nice place to sleep for the night, because haven't you heard driving while drowsey is just as dangerous as driving while drunk, I just want to...

Well I already live in AZ down near the border <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> How welcoming is RTR to people who aren't even started yet? (I have to find my dream van still)

I know lots of people put dirty diapers in the trash and whatnot but is it actually even legal to put the waste from a composting toilet in the trash? I am still probably going to go this route but if I am doing something&nbsp;illegal&nbsp;I would like to at least know first.

its cool looking but i don't think it would be very functional, the only time I could see using it personally is if there was a mixed group of people and we were all sleeping in one big tent

Well I am not yet a vandweller, I work a semi conventional job an when I finish up my contract I plan on stepping right into vandwelling, I have two years to prepare myself so while I am saving money and looking for the van of my dreams I am trying to figure out work-arounds to all the potential...
