    Mounting solar on fiberglass high top

    Mounting solar on fiberglass high top

    Something like this maybe? Bob is right, the hightop roof racks are not cheap. I paid 125. for each rack and had to assemble them myself or pay the company I bought them from 50. per rack to drill those 2 holes out for me. I bought angle iron @ HD and mounted the panels to it, then...

    Painting Reflectix black on one side

    The purpose of Reflectix is to reflect sun away from your vehicle, keeping it cooler. &nbsp;You can paint it black but know that black will absorb heat and make the inside of your vehicle hotter.

    How many of you guys are renting storage units? How big?

    I just rented a 10x10 storage unit to keep what I can't get rid of in. &nbsp;$49. a month, including insurance but I will only need it until my daughter moves back north in September or October. She will be taking everything with her and will become "keeper of the antiques".

    urban camping in Vermont

    There are no BLM lands in New England that I'm aware of and I lived there for 35 years. &nbsp;There are Public Lands managed by The Trust for Public Land but they are not even close to anything you will find out west and they won't be receptive to vandwellers or any other "dweller" type. at all...

    urban camping in Vermont

    <p>I can tell you not to try overnight parking at any rest area on Interstates 89 or 91, it is against the law in VT and they do enforce it. &nbsp;The VA has a relatively large visitor parking lot, I would just ask if you are able to park there overnight. &nbsp;There are also a few hotels in the...

    Fire ring and open fires

    When I had my sticks&amp;bricks I used a wheel spacer from a Semi. Might be a tad heavy to carry around with you though.

    T Mobile's hotspot

    It depends on where you are going to be using it I suppose. this is a map of their coverage area. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx/</a>&nbsp;.&nbsp;There are a lot of holes in their coverage.

    Vandwell with children?

    Don't get discouraged looking for bumper-pull trailers. There are ultra lightweight trailers made that weigh less than 3k that can sleep 6 or 8, plenty of room for 4 people and extra for storage. The other option you have is that there are companies that will move a trailer for you. Having the...

    another newbie

    Well, I've been lurking for more than a year but the time has come for me to hit the road and start sharing some of my adventures. <br>I'm a 50-something and decided after my last relationship went south that I was meant to live alone so my dog and I are climbing in our 1995 19' Coach house and...

    Is using workamper.com necessary?

    <p>According to Joey's blog, he is not at a campground but a wildlife area. His job consists of opening a gate in the morning and closing it at night. 10 minutes a day, maybe? &nbsp;An hour of work a week in exchange for a spot with full hookups? I'd take it in a heartbeat.&nbsp;</p><p>I'll be...
