    Show us your cabover slidein

    I am a little late to this one, haven't been checking the site as much lately. Here is my setup, it's not a full cab over. With the service body I have too much storage and wanted the smallest camper I could find, this is a 70's travel lite.

    I honestly don't remember what it took to get the house addressed. I think it was prohibitive enough that no one out there has an addressed house, they just use the post office in Montello.  It is just up the road from Oasis, maybe 10 min on the highway and 30 min on dirt roads.

    NV has owner builder permits that are very lax. The best way to find a good property is to be in the area and look at a lot of properties. You want easy access but not to be right on the side of a highway. If there are quite a few other off gridders in the area, its good to meet them and make...

    Here is more info. Some may be a repeat of original post. The house is located in Northern NV about 10 miles outside of Montello. You can reach Wendover, UT in about an hour, Elko, NV in 1.5 hours, and Salt Lake City in 2.5-3 hours. The house is about 30 minutes down dirt roads. The roads are...

    You have to bring water in. There is a town near by where you can buy bulk water. I think the current rate is 500 gallons for $50.

    New Rv!

    The chinook kicked ass, i probably put 10k on mine with no issues. But i like my van more. Gas mileage it's about the same, they advertise 20+, but when living in it. The weight on that little engine brings it down to 16-18mpgs. And they have no power. And ass cool as it looked. I don't think...

    I looked at safaris as well, but they are alot less common. I've had a diffcult time finding astros in my area with lower miles. And there's a decent looking conversion van for cheap. It has a regular top, but I think I will be ok without it. Im hoping to sell my rv and purchase a van in the...

    Mini Fridge VS. Igloo Cooler

    <p>I agree with Beemerchef, I've been in a rv for a few months and the fridge keeps things cooler then ambient but thats about it. And I've been surprised at how long food actually last without refrigeration. Even lunch meats last a few days, cheeses and yougurts last weeks to months, fresh...

    Has anyone tried this 12-volt "air conditioner"

    Thats just a swamp cooler built into a cooler. Anyone in the drier west and north west knows swamp coolers work great when humidity is low. in normal swamp coolers you just blow air over a wet spongy mesh material and it cools off an entire house. The ice may make it a little cooler, but i think...

    That's the old Westfalia style, there's a few on home built ones in that style around. I always thought the space next to the bed was lost, but with the milk crates you can unstack and go lower. You can also sit on the back of the couch on nice days which is cool. Not sure how much storage space...

    O ok, Thank you. I'll have to do some research and see if any are for sale. Fortunately there are a few major cities within 3 hours of me, hopefully something worth while will come up. Do you have any pics of the inside of yours bri? I'd love to see the camper set up they designed. Thank you
