In my quest for the mobile lifestyle I decided to put my furniture and other large items in storage.  For the most part it is ok. Until I ran into this nightmare.   I went to get items yesterday and I saw they put a red lock on the unit. I called the owner and she said "Look at the door you...

I have similar feelings. There is a routine aspect, but there is always a novelty aspect that makes it exciting. This is 4 months in for me. Who knows if it will go away or not. I'll just let time take care of itself and enjoy the moments.

I just tried the Olympian wave 3 in a van and it got to 25 degrees here in North Carolina from the recent cold front. I turned on the Wave 3 and I seemed to only feel heat when I got close to the heater. It didn't seem to warm up the full econoline van. In addition after about 3 hours my CO...

I received the Wave 3 from Amazon. I set it up with a 20 lb propane tank in the van. The heat output seemed weak and I could only feel heat when I got close to the heater. After about 3 hours I was awakened by my CO detector going off. The CO level had reached 42 PPM. Not a dangerous level...

I did some compulsive research and based on some replies here. The place they most commonly enter is up the side of the tire and then through the intake vent under the cowl cover on the inside of the firewall or underneath the wiper blades. I plan on removing the cowl cover and covering the...

I am debating of always keeping poison bait around the tires, Tomcat sells pet safe bait stations that I might try. But it seems in suburbs and cities that with buildings and traps near buildings and stores, that may take care of the issue in the area. Maybe also parking lot lights may also...

Good Solutions, I was hoping for don't worry I never had mice answers!! So I'm dissapointed, but I'll keep dry foods in a metal can for now and I'll park in big box parking lots versus forests etc.. One thing I notice by dumpsters and trash cans at big box stores fast food places etc.. there...

Aghh, So 5 gallon Bucket will not work for storage. I guess I need something metal. I usually park in Parking lots, and Big box stores so I assume I'll be ok for the most part. The biggest paranoia is that they crawl on me in the middle of the night!!!!! I guess if I wonder into the...

Greetings, After one week where I kept no food items in the van due to fear of critters and rodents and to get comfortable overall, I was thinking of keeping dry foods in a closed bucket. Will this be a safe bet for the most part? I was also contemplating keeping a food box in the cargo...

Well thats a valid point. I guess I would have to show a picture of the intersection to give a better idea. I usually am ok with driving it and being careful, but at a lunchtime rush I may have had a brief mind lapse and made a wider turn than usual. Since I was turning so slow, it gave enough...

I recently had an experience that has made me a bit paranoid 1 week into my fulltime van living. I currently have a 1996 Ford E150 van. So far I've put some money to keep it running and in good shape. I was at an intersection at around lunchtime in a city. Everyone is moving fast and...

Greetings, I am currently in NC and have been updating and getting a Ford E150 van ready for full time use. I started while I had 5 months left on my Apartment lease. I purchased the van for $1600 with 230,000 miles. It runs good, but needs the usual work that most old cars need. AAA helped...
