    Yahoo article living on 11,000USD a year in RV

    That article was about Glenn as mentioned. He is a decent guy, have met him a few times out on the road. He doesn't have the Falcon anymore. (Converted by Intervec)&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>His budget is pretty basic and very similar to many of ours when on the road. The $300 a month gas budget...

    Where to store bicycle?

    Heidi and I also carry a couple quite spendy mountain bikes on back of the van. They have been there over two years and have never been a problem. Same basic deal as Seraphim. We use a Thule "Spare me" rack that hangs on the rear tire mount over the spare and has a built in lock. We also run...

    Thinking of starting a blog

    Blogger has been good for Heidi and I. Simple, and if you can code at all, you can customize it and save your templates etc. Has a lot of options, is free and can generate an income as well. My only problem is keeping up with my blogging. I used to be better at it, but lately I have been a...

    Carbon Monoxide /Smoke Alarm

    Our CO detector is run off 4 aa's and works well, has a digital display giving parts per million of CO so I can tell at any time if one of our appliances is generating anything at all. It was about $30 I believe.<div><br></div><div>&nbsp;I realize it isn't a strobe model, but I am thinking that...

    Installing a Shower in a Van

    Me too! This is my modified shower. This closet was never meant to be wet and was not part of the shower from the factory. No reason a person couldn't do something like this too in a low-top van since it is more comfortable to sit and shower anyway IMO.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div><img...

    Pressure Cooker?

    That is a great idea <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> I wish we were going to be there with you all this year. We are sticking around the ranch getting projects done though. So much to do! I will be watching for details on your stoveteking! I bet you all...

    Single And Hating It

    It was something my mom told us last year. I am not sure where she got them but she is usually a fairly reliable source of info. Then again, she might have been trying to creep Heidi out! LOL! That would be something she would do as well. Needless to say, the apple didn't fall far from the...

    Single And Hating It

    Just an interesting tidbit I heard last year...<div><br></div><div>Apparently, the average person will unknowingly end up eating an average of 8 spiders over their lifetime while they are asleep. I guess they sneak into your mouth while you are unaware....</div><div><br></div><div>Pleasant...

    firearms

    Makes sense to me <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> I did a little checking on that barrel and because the breacher is fused to/permanent part of the barrel, it does count as part of the barrel for fitting within the minimum 18" laws. That's cool. I don't...

    firearms

    Seraphim, I agree with Kate, good post. One thing I really appreciate about the mag-fed semi-autos is more based on range shooting than self defense. Using a mag loader and several extra mags sitting in the comfort of my favorite chair saves a lot of time at the range later on. That and as Kate...

    '75 Winnebago

    Pay &nbsp;close attention to the tires too. 6 new tires can set you back quite a bit. Also, if you are going planning to use the LP system, take a good look at the tank to make sure it isn't rusted too badly and is up to standards. If too many of these types of things are problematic with it...

    Single And Hating It

    I always relocate the spiders from our living area. Heidi says it is part of the marriage contract LOL! Catch and release is worth doing, spiders are cool critters, just don't need them right inside with us of course.<div><br></div><div><br></div>

    Finally got a few pictures of our very humble collection. It is a small enough collection that I even put the Beeman air rifle in the mix&nbsp;<img border="0" align="absmiddle" src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/tongue.gif"><div><br></div><div><img...

    Marriage & RVing

    My sweet wife and I were married over 2 years ago now after meeting on yahoo vandwellers group. At least a few people here knew us before that. We annoyed poor Katie to death asking her about each other LOL!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>We still have both vans, but try to keep what we consider our...
