Hi Liv, I used to deliver cars sold at auction.  Ran into an electric pole with one due to loss of brakes. Far as I know, mostly dealers send cars to auction because they don't want to guarantee them, or they wouldn't sell easily. It's not that you can't find a real deal on an older vehicle...

Welcome from a fellow Nomad in Wishing.  I missed out on a perfect van, and am now outfitting my SUV. Are you able to take day trips to ease into, and prepare for the lifestyle?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.  I don't think there's a National Forest near me, so I guess I'll have to search for one and go on an excursion. :D  Your mention of collectible records is interesting.  I have a HUGE chest full.  Is the convention still operating?

But but but wasn't Omar a tent maker?   :blush:

Welcome peregrina.  You have about 2 years on me, but you're way ahead of me in physical activities. :D  Roam around... I joined in Aug 2018 and just discovered the red LOGOUT button toip left. :rolleyes:

I see the reason SUNNY is in your name. :D :cool:  Try to speak with a window expert to see if the inner piece should be plexiglass. Possibly for safety and/or longer life.

Hi Roger,  You have a lot more available head room than I do in my Ford Escape.  I bought a cot (no middle legs so plenty of underneath storage) and a memory foam mattress.  Both are pictured, with Amazon links on my Methusaleh thread.  Very little room between mattress and ceiling, but enough...

Hi Sunny,  I've suggested constructing inner widows, possibly even double-pane.  That would give you three panes for daytime, and you could close VERY insulated drapes for night. Never heard from anyone on the idea.  I just don't like the cave-type insulation I've seen.  Seems to me it's a...

Half, How about fog lights plus running lights next to them?  You wouldn't switch the running lights on when there is oncoming traffic.  We had that setup on our 1954 MGTF

Just a note... I mis-typed the model Ford I'm outfitting. It's an Escape 4x4 I'm wondering.. isn't your Explorer longer than  the Escape?  I had to shorten the cot I put in along the driver's side. I'll be posting photos on my Methuselah thread when I can manage it. Good luck with all you have...

Hi Marcus,  Your attitude and ability to change course, is inspiring.  I just missed out on a rig that would have been perfect, kitchen and all.  Now I'm left with trying to outfit my tiny SUV. Thanks for telling your story. BTW How difficult is it to get a senior pass?

That's that's the way I've always cooked eggs, also.  I did an experiment to steam them, by putting in a SS colander with 4 eggs and 2 servings of broccoli.  Worked like a charm.  However, I'm thinking the commercial steamer like Q has, might put out less steam.  I don't know how much steam...

 Thanks, I;ll go loo for it.  I will mostly have access to shore power, so running the steamer is not a problem.  I just need to know if the steam from it is less than boiling water in a covered pan, BTW, Sophia is my baby, 5 pound YorkiePoo :D

Hi Half, Wouldn't upgrading to LED bulbs brighten the headlamps?

Hi Q,  I'm in a <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quandary">quandary</a>.  I love the idea of the egg plus upper steam cooker.  My problem is I no longer have the luxury of a kitchen having lost out on Greybeard, and I am now stuck with outfitting Ruby. I will pack Ruby with a...
