    Quartsite area in less than a week... no idea where to go or what to do

    How much do they usually pay the dishwashers? Would those truck stops allow you to shower for free if you work there?

    New chick - no idea what I'm doing

    By Shore Drive? Or all the way up by Fort Story?

    New chick - no idea what I'm doing

    Welcome. I just watched your hooping video. Looks like you had fun. Which beach was that taken at? Looks like on the Atlantic, but didn't seem built up enough for Virginia Beach.

    Vandwelling in a city... Pros and Cons.

    Pure urine is too strong for fertilizer. It needs to be diluted ~10 to one. Then it is a really great fertilizer.

    For budgeters who hate math

    I am old fashioned. I have a ledger book and write it all down. It is organized enough for me, and I don't have to worry about spyware from "free" apps giving my information to their owners. If the product is free, and you wonder how they are making money, I can assure they are not doing this...

    How do you keep gas in the tank & food in your belly?

    Mobile auto/small engine repair and other stuff. I have been looking at some RV dealers with the thought of learning the eccentricities of RVs before I hit the road full time. I am also looking at Mechanical Turk and whatever work I can pick up like the beet harvest or whatever.

    Vandwelling in a city... Pros and Cons.

    LOL, I guess I could switch to using an old bleach bottle.

    Vandwelling in a city... Pros and Cons.

    I agree with Zonie. One of the perks of vandwelling in a city is the easy access to toilets and other waste disposal. Why not make use of them? I also do the laundry detergent bottle trick. I wash clothes at a 24 hour laundry mat. It is nothing to carry a laundry detergent bottle in to the...

    A Place Called Home

    I really liked the first one. The others don't suit me. My world view is somewhat different, but difference is what keeps things interesting.

    Tire safety question - worn shoulders?

    They were definitely run under inflated for a long time. If I was still a state inspector, I would reluctantly pass them, but I would not run them on my cars. IMO, I would replace them soonish especially if you get snow or ice. I would need to see and feel them to tell if you really had front...

    Whelp... Pretty sure that's the engine blown...

    They only used a stethoscope? How do they know what your compression is or isn't? They need to do either a compression test or a cylinder leak down test. If I were you, I would seriously consider going somewhere else if at all possible. I know some people in Norfolk/Va Beach. I can make some...

    1999 Dodge dash AC issue

    It wasn't enough money. I am talking to Camping World now. If you want, I can meet you tomorrow and check it for you.

    Glad you are home safe.

    Throwing off the CHAINS ... (Shoot me where I stand lol)

    I have nearly downsized to the point that everything I own fits in my van. The only exception being most of my tools which I store in my mother's garage.

    Do you know anything about the driving positions? I have a CDL

    That's funny. I just interviewed with them, but decided not to take the job. LOL

    A new life for me !!!

    I am sorry about that. I use no script and ad blocker among other things, been doing that for years. I just assumed that everybody does that now. Also, I never download anything. I just stream the vids I want to watch. I should have remembered what happens when you assume. Sincere apologies for...

    1999 Dodge dash AC issue

    Was the engine running hot? Did the Condenser fan stop working? Low Freon is possible, but there could be air or other contaminants in the system. Where are you at in Orlando? I am currently in Orlando.

    My luck ran out

    Just goes to show the need for extra fluids and tools. Consider the consequences of not having such? That campsite might have been replaced by an obscene tow bill, and your tranny might be completely toast. You might also have had to pay the tow truck guy to change the trailer tire. All in all...
