How do you like Visible? I have been studying the various companies and Internet plans for about 4 months now. I am heading out the end of July and I have decided I want to use Verizon's network as they seem to have the best coverage for the areas I am going, and since Visible has some good...

Excellent point. The only way to never ding your RV is to leave it sitting in the driveway or in a garage but, that is not what RVs are for. It is good to learn how to repair dings and scratches in both metal and fiberglass because, as you perfectly pointed out, using and enjoying the RV will...

I miss the old days sometimes.

I was able to read the article without a paywall. After the first few sentences of the article, there was a box that asked me to subscribe for $5 but I just hit the down arrow ( V ) and it went away and the rest of the article was available as I scrolled down. Very interesting and, that is a...

Wow, I didn't know that either. Thanks.

Of all the van life videos I have watched over the past year, I only saw one filmed in some extremely cold area of the US, or maybe even Canada where that was shown. The fellow with the van said he needed to go to a parking lot to charge up his batteries because it was already like 15 degrees F...

No, he has not. I rescued him 12 years ago from a building I was guarding, he was 10 weeks old or so. Sadly, the construction crew offered a reward for anyone that would catch or kill the cats (mother and kittens) living in the newly closed in construction. His mother and brothers and...

Thank you for the suggestion. Free shore power plugs? That's awesome. I had not heard of any places doing that around these parts. I will make a note of this place. too bad they do not allow camping too but, I get why, with the free electric some people would probably be living there full...

I have Recreation.gov (Good for locating Federal controlled sites with dispersed camping) Free Campsites.net (good for locating free campsites for boondocking) FreeRoam (good for locating free campsites and dispersed camping) The Dyrt (good for finding campsites of various prices including free)...

That's awesome. Good job repairing them.

The AC200P and the box it came in weighed 80 pounds. Can you imagine how much that would cost me to ship back to Bluetti? Had I bought it at Home Depot (I had no idea they even sold these) I am pretty sure I would have paid more than I did but, just like you said, IF the time comes for any...

Yes, that is my understanding as well and that is a great point. We all would like to avoid fires as much as possible.

I agree totally with the warranty benefits of the Bluetti or Ecoflow power stations. That is important. I just looked at the link for the cheap power station and no where in there did I see them state which battery chemistry they are using, so I suspect that means it is lithium ion, which is...

Thanks. I have heard both good reports and bad reports on their customer service with the more recent ones being pretty good. I looked at the jackery units but, the issue I had, at least with all the models I checked out, was that they use the older battery technology of lithium ion which are...

Well, there is still a risk for me certainly but I watched many reviews of this device by folks like Will Prowse, Bob Well, Hobotech, etc and they put this model through its paces and they all say it is a very good unit and has an excellent reputation. Of course, having said that, ANYTHING...

My Bluetti AC200P has 166 amp hours and can handle 2000 watts continuous and will take 700 watts of solar input. (My solar is 720 watts plus a separate 100 watt panel for my two other smaller power stations. I added everything up that I would need and it came really close to $2,000 so I...

Carla, thank you very much. I will check all those out and add them to my growing list. (No such thing as too many locations right?) I have been looking west in MO in areas like Mark Twain National forest and other places. I will probably slowly work my way west after a while, taking back...

Yes, LBL is on my list too. I have camped there many times back in my college days and it was great. I am basically going to hit up every national forest, corp. of engineers, and National Park in this region. From what I have been reading, I can camp at many national parks for $12.50/night...

Maybe. The conversion was done by Glaval. I will say they did a nice job on the insulation as the couple of places I checked were stuffed with fiberglass. I even got a Glaval Conversions book in the glovebox along with the owner's manual but, it was pretty generic covering many models or...

Well they used a single large piece of glass with a trim piece placed horizontally. That trim piece is only on the inside of the glass so you can tell it is just a large single pane of glass by looking at the outside. You can see that trim from the outside and I seriously think they did this...
