    Hello from Vancouver, BC. Ex-liveaboard turning Vandweller I hope

    Haha sounds interesting, I'm no boat builder though! I just fixed and refitted the damn things. Fiberglass is a whole different area, which I don't have tools or supplies for really. I respect the guys who can do it nicely, but I don't think my result would look great, and cost/time would be...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC. Ex-liveaboard turning Vandweller I hope

    Pleased to meet you, let me know if you want any help with the build out/insulating, love to see what other's choose :-) My only real worry is the type of vehicle and body type to choose for the refit. The actual work, and the requirements of heating/drying are things I am pretty comfortable...

    LifeStraw Family 1.0 Water Purifier - opinions

    Manual ones are available used for 400$ ish. The size up from the smallest is the one to get, looks like a large tube. Expect 400+ 400-500$ To get it serviced. 12v ones are available too using the same membrane output is low but enough to live on and shower occasionally For decent output...

    Spray foam insulation kits?

    1 part and 2 part are totally different products. 1 part relies on moisture etc to cure and is not really suited to this activity(Great stuff is 1 part, and mostly useless). 2 part comes as a spray(2 pressurized cylinders). or as a liquid(in 2 cans). It reacts chemically, so moisture, air...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC. Ex-liveaboard turning Vandweller I hope

    Sorry, I should have explained better, I don't mean the actual act of parking it, but how far it will stick out, making it a very obvious vehicle, and getting complaints requiring me to move. A residential street parking permit would cost far less and allow me to stay close to work but roads...

    Air freshener / purifier - suggestions?

    Simplest solution: fresh air intake from somewhere, hepa filter on it before it enters the van. keep positive pressure with a low speed low power fan, and you have clean air leaking out anywhere, not contaminated air coming it. Low flow rates are Ok if it runs all the time I think. Larger...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC. Ex-liveaboard turning Vandweller I hope

    Hi :-). I'd like to see more people's vehicles in person to try to figure it out. The problem for me with a cube or step van is parking, they are much harder to deal with here. Step vans look awesome! but parallel parking one on narrow residential streets would be miserable I suspect. If I...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC. Ex-liveaboard turning Vandweller I hope

    Hi from Vancouver, I'm turning 26 in the near future, an ex-liveaboard coming from a small boat background hoping to become a VanDweller. I was reading the CheapRV site for a year or two before settling on living aboard a boat instead of a van the first time around. I'd really like to meet...
