JD, thank you for the other post about promasters reliability. I found it helpful. I'd given up on the promaster when I found they were front wheel drive which is a personal bias of mine. It's always good to know more, especially when it's proprietary data analysis. You were a gift horse and...

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I'm 34 taking care of my 67 yo mom who was in a car accident and now can't take care of herself. Three years later I'm just fantasizing about running away but that would make her a homeless person and she'd never survive. You've done an amazing and...

I used to work in an office full of women as of about 14 days a go (unrelated to this story, i swear).  Some of them I was friendly enough with that we shared our out of work life events with each other.  Having worked there for 4 years, you build relationships with people.  Not a single one...

This sounds like really great advice!   I've lived in apartments and condos etc my entire life.  I could count on one hand the number of times a neighbor has spoken to me.  That's a total of 3 different cities so it's not a wide spread thing but two were small and one was (is) big.  I also have...

I blew air out of my nose!  Had an ex who was a belly sleeper except it was more like a permanent sky diver.  Arms out, legs out, no space for me! Copy/paste from wikipedia;  The purpose of the box-spring is threefold: to raise the mattress's height, making it easier to get in and out of bed...

Thank you for taking and posting these pictures! Does anyone know what type of van body that blue bubble is? It's super cool looking. Does the rear slide up over the van almost like a retractable gull wing? Blue bubble van. http://www.midtenmaker.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_7794.jpg

I'm not sure how this phone plan you all are talking about works but with cricket (att), i found out if you run out of data you can go to the website and change your phone plan from whatever it is to anything else and the service will reset the data limit when you make the change. I found out...

Bob did a comparison on 4 manufacturers and there is a link in the description for another comparison of 5. I don't have personal experience but while we wait for the experts, this gets you started if you haven't seen them:

I'm trying to sponge up as much knowledge as i can but haven't come across this term clamping?  Is this what you're talking about? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamper_(electronics) Am i right that it's basically taking the watt overage the batteries can't accept and somehow converting it...

I went on q Google search and couldn't find anything that doesn't look like a normal flip up hinge?  Something that slides open would be great, manual slide would be even better?

Brainstorming prior to even owning a van. Working through the mountain of learning and understanding solar / inverter / batteries etc i noticed most pictures show solar around the fans and i was curious what the downsides are of mounting a traditional fantastic or max fan with no cover on it and...

Thank you all. Our budget has been so tight i couldn't afford to do anything but research myself. But now that the settlement has come in i can actually get legal advice from actual lawyers and hopefully not screw this up.

Thank you for the advice. I want to enlist the help of an elder law attorney as i still don't have a poa yet. The programs I've been able to find myself seem to all include a household income stipulation which we exceed.  Did your wife's mother live alone? Obviously i need to speak with an...

I was told i have to make a post here so, here i am.   I'm looking at this lifestyle as a way to afford what life has thrown at me.  At 31 i had to move my 64 yo mom in with me after she had a bad car accident. I've gotten her spinal fusion surgery and we've been to many memory drs. Three years...

This is a really great use of space.  The slide out kitchen with an inside access hatch, the cubby pockets everywhere with quick access that also has fold down walls for full access - including the one that doubles as a workspace, the couch bed with storage underneath that slides out to lay flat...

Please be careful with a pet. If you've never been down here during summer, it's HOT and left unattended with windows wide open it can still be 110 in a vehicle.  As for finding work, check Craigslist in the bigger cities. There are always labor jobs available. If it's actual long term (a month...

I'm new here, please be gentle. I see a lot of discussion about store parking and street parking, looking for parking restriction signs, some even suggested hospitals to use parking garages, and even quite a few suggestions of being in between two houses on the street so both homes think it's...

There are a ton of cool old school vans listed there, thanks for the link. To anyone else, in the search bar type Chevrolet van or dodge van, it doesn't accept "van" for me.  Still haven't figured out how to make a purchase but I'm not ready anyway.
