    12 Volt Laptop Charger Problem: Charger or RV

    I recently purchased a car charger for my laptop to hook into my 12 Volt sockets. For some reason the charger charges the laptop when it is closed but if I am using it it charges it for a few seconds&nbsp;then&nbsp;cuts off. Is this the charger or something to do with the RV/12 volt power.<br...

    Anyone eat grain free here?

    I have found that everyone I know who has tried going wheat-free has improved. My friends lost weight. My mother's blood pressure dropped to normal range for the first time in her life. My father's blood sugar went down.&nbsp;<br /><br />I believe the issue is&nbsp;compounded&nbsp;by the fact...

    Is A 12 Volt Battery Good Enough?

    Hey all,<br /><br />As some of you recently saw I just purchased a Class B in good shape. It's electricity is taken from a 12 Volt house battery. There are a few 12 volt outlets around the RV. As I would rather not redo everything my question is would a 12 Volt be enough to run off of?<br /><br...

    Looking At Purchasing This Van: Any And All Help Appreciated!

    From what I understand all the outlets work only when I am hooked up and the 12 volt batter only works for the lights.&nbsp;<br /><br />If I correct this, is 12 volt enough to run general electronics with a converter?

    Looking At Purchasing This Van: Any And All Help Appreciated!

    Mechanic gave the okay. Bought it earlier this morning. I am happy with the purchase.<br /><br />The main things I need to adjust is to get a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;battery for electricity. The van only has a 12 volt and the outlets only work when hooked up.

    How much is your "rent"?

    Like most people on this forum I would I imagine, I an in love with the idea of not paying rent. Living in an RV&nbsp;succeeds&nbsp;in this and through it cuts out one of the highest expenses of living.<br /><br />However, I started thinking and I realized RV owners have&nbsp;their&nbsp;own...

    Finding Parking: 21ft Or Under vs Over 21 ft

    Thanks for the response mockturtle.<br /><br />I see you&nbsp;have&nbsp;a 24ft RV. Do you have any trouble finding parking in cities/towns or do you usually stay at campgrounds/in the wild?

    Finding Parking: 21ft Or Under vs Over 21 ft

    From what I understand you can legally park a vehicle on the street as long as it is 21 feet or under.&nbsp;<br /><br />The question then becomes should you get an RV/Van that is under 21 feet to benefit from this. In theory, I would like knowing I can "technically" park anywhere but I want to...

    21 Foot or Less Affordable Class B?

    I assume its gas&nbsp;mileage, how&nbsp;drive-able&nbsp;it is and honestly the hassles I imagine you would find just parking it. I have also read that they were not built well.

    Thanks for the responses all.<br /><br />bk2value: I have been reading over Glenn's website and the Chinook looks like something I would be interested in. Unfortunately the ones on sale seem to be in the $30,000 range which is also very high. <br /><br />How old should I be willing to go? I am...

    21 Foot or Less Affordable Class B?

    Hey all,<br /><br /> I am exploring options and looking for a Class B 21 foot or under (I would like it to fit in a parking space and not get cited) RV. I have always been frugal and have been lucky enough to save a good amount but some of the prices on these are INSANE. I am a firm believer...

    Does Anyone Stealth Camp In A Class B or Class C Mini?

    It seems the more I read the more my original concept of stealth is changing. Here (<a href="http://www.tosimplify.net/p/rig.html">http://www.tosimplify.net/p/rig.html</a>) a man has been stealth camping with almost no hassle in a Chinook Concourse (No Stealth). There (<a...
