    Your ideal kit list for living in a small space on the move

    Thanks for the suggestions. My main issue is I have to be rid of all of them before I leave at the end of July so not much time left considering all the other stuff I need to do before then. If I had time, I could sell them on amazon one book at a time as many of mine are first editions and I...

    Your ideal kit list for living in a small space on the move

    Ha ha. No thanks. I will just keep getting rid of "stuff" I just hate to do it. I have 5 really nice guitars (2 electrics, a bass, and 2 acoustics and 2 amps.) I might take one of the acoustics with me...maybe. I have a nice set of electronic drums too, and a bunch of electronics gear like...

    Your ideal kit list for living in a small space on the move

    I like this topic as, I am faced with the same dauting task of getting rid of about 80% or more of the things I own. Just my tools I am keeping and taking with me for repairs on the road will take up a lot of room. (5 tool boxes and a full 18 gal. container of various tools) Then I have all...

    Well, my new phone arrived today and I signed up for Visible and got the sale price of $35/month for the premium plan. (Which is supposed to give me tower priority) They are sending out my sim card. Interesting that I had to provide my new phones IMEI number to sign up. I also am keeping the...

    24/7 Chat About Anything

    I remember watching that video a while back. I really enjoy Bob's videos especially when he interviews the Nomads and we see how they outfitted their rigs and we learn their stories. The common denominator I noticed early on in these videos is that everyone he interviews seems to be smiling...

    I wonder if there's some way to fill this need

    That was an awesome way to work that out. Good thinking.

    I just checked Verizon's plans with autopay and even their highest "best" plan for $90/month only gives you 50 GB before slowing you down to 600 kbps for the rest of the month, whereas Visible's website says after you use 50 GB you MAY get slowed in heavy traffic areas or times. Also, just saw...

    I wonder if there's some way to fill this need

    I can understand why the hospitals will not allow an uber to pick someone up after surgery as they know the uber will be driving off and they want the patient monitored. Well, in this day and age of tech, could not someone monitor someone virtually? As a business this could be good as one...

    Thank you for all of this information. One thing I do not understand is, back in 2021 when Verizon bought Tracfone, Tracfone contacted me and told me they were switching to all verizon towers and, the phone I was using was not compatible with verizon and would no longer work in a few weeks so...

    Oil consumption on the new 6.6L V8 ? Owner feedback please.

    It is my understanding that modern engines are run in at the factory before being installed in a vehicle. In the "old days" the new owners had to do the break in but, I just did a quick check online to confirm and several car sites said this is no longer required. They said manufacturers found...

    Thanks for the kind offer. I just watched an interview with Visible's COO about a week ago, and he said all those plans have been done away (for new customers) and they are going with just the 2 plans, the $30 (on sale until the end of April for $25) and the $45 plan. He said that the people...

    Question about solar generators.

    I use clear tubing when transferring liquids like gasoline and, laying them in the sun/wind for and hour or less will evaporate the fuel remnants and odors. I recently did this using a hose to siphon the old gas out of my 49cc scooter tank and, that hose has been stored in my van now since I...

    Question about solar generators.

    Yes, I just replied above about seeing a YT video of a guy doing just that on a 1998 Ram truck. There is a lot more room under a truck hood than under my van's and I may not be able to reach that valve very easily but, I am going to check to see if I can. That would be easier and faster having...

    Question about solar generators.

    No, have not tried that yet and was not aware of the anti-siphon device in the filler neck so, thank you. I just watched a YT video where a guy removes the inner part of the Shrader valve on the fuel rail of a 1998 Ram, slips a hose over it, and then removes the starter relay and shorts 2 of...

    Register Van as RV?

    State Farm. Yes, they know I will be doing van life and traveling the country but also keeping my residency in the state of Kentucky at my Daughter's house. (I have not left yet as my van is not quite done and my apt. lease does not end until July.) Besides, my view is I am not going to be...

    Shingles

    I agree and that is exactly what I said the CDC claims in the link I provided. I hope that you recover quickly from your case. One thing everyone I know who has had it agrees on, is it sure is not any fun having shingles.

    Question about solar generators.

    I have a 2000 watt gas generator to use with my AC200P to back up the solar if cloudy for a few days. It will really allow me a lot of flexibility but I was dreading having to buy a larger gas can than my 2.5 gallon one I already own. I also did not like the idea of having all that extra gas...

    Register Van as RV?

    My 1998 Dodge conversion van is registered as a van and my full coverage insurance on it is under $40/month. My agent knows the things I am adding to it like solar, sink, electricity storage, etc. but I chose a high deductible ($500) so I would be own my own for replacement of solar panels, ac...
