    She's finally MINE!

    Thanks everyone!! This unit is in pristine condition, very few defects. Got it $10,000 under NADA too!!! So excited. What do you mean? It was pretty heavy winds yesterday (up to 30mph) and it held up just fine. In the picture you have the power pedestal, the slide, the slide's awning and the...

    She's finally MINE!

    I am officially apart of the nomadic lifestyle! I picked her up this last weekend and drove her from New Braunfels TX to Lubbock TX (in two nights). Gotta tell you, the 22mph crosswind was a REAL joy! :dodgy: My new 2005 Coachmen Leprechaun 317ks (premier class C). Has the bedroom I wanted, the...

    Does Your Conscience Bother You?

    For some of these things, legality does not equal morality. A law that prevents people from sleeping in their cars (society calls them homeless) is the real immoral issue. I would have no problem fighting the law there, and they have no right to take the roads away from us. They are public for a...

    That thing's a monster! Such huge frame for such a little space! I bet the towing capacity on that could pull a 50 foot trailer home!

    Fire ant suppression - Florida

    Diatomaceous Earth. This stuff kills any critter with an exoskeleton. And effectively, if I might add. I live in bug central (Lubbock, TX) and put this stuff around my house and all bugs, including roaches, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, water bugs... You name it. It is SAFE for human and pet...

    Job offer in SoCal

    A few variables you will want to consider: PROS: 1. It IS in SoCal during the winter, which is a great place to be in a van if you don't have adequate heating. 2. Flipping burgers for an RV resort is a LOT better than flipping burgers at a restaurant. 3. You will probably meet a lot of cool...

    Tooth implant - full procedure cost

    That's actually the place where I was thinking about getting my implants done! But I need all 32 teeth, so it will be very expensive. :(

    Tooth implant - full procedure cost

    Haha, that's why I added the "/low cost" bit! Either way, I wasn't referring to dental being free, more just a comment on why other prices are so high. They have to make up the costs somewhere!

    Tooth implant - full procedure cost

    You're right! I know I may be young, but I have full dentures upper and lower. Had them since 2011, so over 3 years now. I can still get implants since I'm young and have a strong jaw, but soon they will be withered too much to get a strong seal, and it will cost thousands more to create fake...

    Tooth implant - full procedure cost

    Probably the best place you can go to: http://www.riograndedental.com/dental_implants.htm 1150 for an implant. Not as good as over seas, as 1 USD is 14 Pesos where 1 USD is 124 Krona. 1 USD is roughly 1.5 Looney in Canada, so it won't be much cheaper there. So if you can afford the trip to...

    Paradigm Shift - $1000 repairs per event

    That's really the only reason why I ever prefer to buy a vehicle >2000's. I'm afraid of something breaking that I can't fix cheaply... I understand there are a lot of good units out there before 2000, but with my luck everything will break. My older car (1995 Honda Civic) was the only vehicle I...

    Have a cargo van? Make some money!

    On this note, you can probably contract with multiple companies who need stuff moved from one site to another and they typically cover the costs. It's cheaper to them than hiring someone to do it full time as they don't really need to pay hourly wages, just cost of direct travel and a fee. Most...

    Best bank for traveling vandweller

    Veteren's can still get in, I'd call them and explain the situation. My entire family became USAA members solely from my grandfather's tour back in Nam. He'd been 10 or 20 years retired before we even attempted to get in USAA and they let us in without a hitch. Now my kids and grandkids can be...

    Best bank for traveling vandweller

    USAA represent. If you can get into them, that is... You or an immediate family member needs to be or was apart of the military to get in, but they have the best rates and services around, period. Lowest interest rates, refunded debit withdrawals from any ATM anywhere, best identity and...

    unlimited calling to Canada

    As far as I'm aware T-mobile has unlimited calling to other countries if you do an international month to month plan.

    List out what I need

    UPDATE: Well, I have time to get all this stuff thankfully... As the dealer cannot order parts from other people than their own, and want outrageous prices from their own warehouse, I will piecing this together part by part over time, probably starting off with a single 125ah battery and 100w...

    Interesting Development for Solar?

    DIY turn around is typically 2 years, so maybe! :D

    Interesting Development for Solar?

    Well typical turn around for new technology is 10 years, so you'll probably wait 20 years before this is implemented... Or if you're lucky 10 years will be sufficient.
