: ) everything they said. We've had our _slightly_ oversized reflectix (a double layer contact cement between layers) for all windows now for over five years and all are still in as-made shape. Thom

Only got pulled over once in my ~40 years of driving and I deserved it. The officer was polite, to the point, and I took the ticket and paid the small fine. The only other time I've chatted with a Peace Officer was a Sherriff that wanted a tour of our "Sweet Van" as he called it : ) Thom

My wife and I have a gaiaTV, and YouTube Red subscriptions. I'm pondering testing out the "CuriosityStream" channel. If we want a newer movie we rent from Red Box. None of them is anything but random events. We don't watch much of anything but lean towards documentaries and similar. And when we...

I have no affiliation with the links i'm sharing except for being a happy long time customer... I'm a tech-junkie! I spend ~4 to 6 hours a day reading alternative health ideas/research. Several years back ? seven to eight ? I picked up an item called an "Earth Pulse" (info link) The idea is...

We incorporate many of the above ideas related to water conservation. It's usually just my wife and I so we have our own plate/silverware/mug we keep track of during the day. Mostly for anything other than the final meal before closing galley up we simply wipe with a moistened paper towel and...

as ( ; most ; ) others have shared, the driver's door is typically usual practice. During the ~18 months I lived in a cube van I really had no choice in the matter! Thom

IT'S SO CUTE!!!! That was our first impression as we entered and saw it on the kitchen counter. Wife approved : ) On cook surface I think you would have to have a narrow (~3" base? ) tall type of kettle/pan to get any cooking done. He did manage to do so in a ~2qt kettle? And over the weekend...

Greetings, I know in my reading here that there is at least one in the group utilizing a 12v electric sleeping pad and/or blanket in his setup. The idea has crossed my mind, and today I came across an interesting twist from a start up on Kickstarter. The webpage is _here_. There are two models...

; ) and maybe a Selk Bag? I use mine around camp a lot, and if we are hammock camping it is great. Thom

I don't have a wood or pellet burning stove in my van or RV and most likely will not. Though for the sake of conversation in context i'll share this real life example I experienced last week. My wife and I meet once a year with a group of fiberglass trailer enthusiasts (their forum is...

Hey I know i'm late to this party, and you may have already ordered your MF... WE LUV OUR 5100K in white. And for us, the lowest setting on that model is 0.2 amps as measured on a Xantrex meter in the system. On letting light in? We have the white model and like the soft diffused light it...

Welcome to the CRVL forums Oneironaut : ) I shared some other thoughts on another Q you posted at another thread but wanted to answer your two Q's I've quoted below: Q's by : Oneironaut Q1...Is there a way to get like a permanent mailing address or something and just use that as my address...

The competition is really tough. Doable, but crazy competitive. AND really, anybody these days can put together their own website for nearly nothing...certainly less than ~$10 a month. Waaaay back in ~1997 through 2000 I created several sites and charged handsomely (several thousand dollars...

i'm totally for the idea and see the need to allow such living (and my wife and I wish to do so in our van once we ditch the jobs)... though, I can sort of see the legal-writing-on-the-sign pole. Some city council will mess it up for the few that this style of living would benefit. In our town...

The other thing one should consider in the mix if being self-employed in the IT or WebDev field is does your personality thrive on competition, gathering Leeds, marketing your skills, and making the cold calls. Without those skills you may end up being a starving "artist" of sorts. I have over...

My wife and I ponder and discuss the topic. Neither of us fear death as we once did (we've pretty much de-religionized ourselves and the "fear" went with it all). We both have the living wills, DNRs and similar. We also included in the discussions the idea to _attempt_ not calling the EMTs...

VanKudos to you Kam!!

One thing my wife and I found with air mattress use when incorporated into two different builds, my share below may be mute since it may appear from your OP that it is just you primarily on the bed (though you did mention a dog) ; First use was one of those queen size air mattresses easily...

Totally. When I really want to get things done on the net I switch of my java-script or simply read the page in something like "Pocket" without all the ads and garbage yelling out for our attention. : ) Thom

In no particular order of smile-factor : ) Hi Top for standup headroom full time platform bed with great storage under multifunction bathroom/shower closet galley box on the Aluminess bumpers : ) Thom
