    GIRLS ROOM: Nomadic Women's Groups on the internet

    There is some lawyer type who publishes a yearly book with all the current by state laws for guns.  I remembering learning about it from the Escapees list but can't remember any other info about it except it was highly recommended.

    WOMEN ONLY!!! Trolls, Haters, and Channels dedicated to them

    I've been watching a lot of this as well and decided I will only be doing an occasional video to be social and part of the community.  We are lucky in that we've planned a long time for this and will have our retirement just as if we were in stick and brick.  These videos are like a giant Big...

    Mobile... Geodesic tiny house, yes?

    Mobile - cannot take plants across many state bordeers. Mobile - wieght matters. Lots of dirt and water and containers adds up above store bought organic veggies. Just saying. I thought about growing some beans, herbs and a few other things but it just did not seem practical when I figured it...

    WOMEN ONLY!!! Trolls, Haters, and Channels dedicated to them

    I have thought about the exposure a lot this past year. I lived many years in L.A. and have run into a handful plus of celebrities over the years - I don't think of them as anything more than people who do that thing for a living and I leave them to their privacy and thoughts. But as we all...

    Pullite cargo trailer

    Be sure you know the cargo carry capacity. If the trailer weighs only 980 pounds you might be able to only carry 1000 pounds or maybe even only 7 or 800. You'll be adding insulation, wood, a mattress and bedding, clothing, food, water, trailer brakes, etc. etc. Weight adds up quickly so...

    Any one else have a vintage rig?

    So cute! I have a 1989 Dodge Class B, Xplorer model. Spent years on the mechanics then started on the rest. She's mostly a hightop camper van as we always boondocked so there were RV-type stuff we didn't fix. Now we're doing a cargo trailer and putting the B up for sale in the spring and...

    An FYI for those intending to register a trailer in TX.

    I belong also to the Escapees group and have been asking some questions about Texas trailer registration. There are differences among the counties. FYI, much, much better to register in Polk county than Dallas.

    Stove & Oven

    I have the Camp Chef Oven with one burner and a grill on top. It weighs 38 pounds so remember that if considering hauling it between the van and a picknic table. Would not use it inside unless clearance set up and plenty of air exchange. We will use ours inside our trailer but kind of built...

    2018 RTR disabled/ chronic illness meet and greet?

    I really like this idea. I most likely can't be at my first RTR until 2020, but I wanted to chime in anyway that this is a great idea. I also had the concern about parking and access to main event for disabilities and wondered if there has been any thought put into this. Since I can't...

    I Video'd Our 7x16 Layout

    That business was a long time ago.  It was before Vista Print.  We did biz cards, T-shirts, logos, wedding invites, band tickets all kinds of stuff.  When they came out with computer programs that let one create a biz card by clicking on a couple of buttons I said that was time to quit.  It was...

    New & Just bought an Ambulance

    Congrats on your find and ownership. Ha ha, now the fun begins. At least it sounds like the mechanical will be good and the conversion is the fun part.

    I Video'd Our 7x16 Layout

    Many years ago Wayne and I had a graphic arts biz with a wizard name. Thus when work decided to do a Halloween contest (our biz was our part time biz at home job, we both had full time jobs as well) I made us wizard costumes. We wore them once to the Ren. Faire and could not cross the street...

    I Video'd Our 7x16 Layout

    Ha Ha, yes on the dragon then. Actually, I forgot - I will have a small hanging steam ship that will have a variety of things inside and one of them is the Captain's dragon nicknamed "Back Up Gen" as an emergency power source (stories are developing as the site is decorated - you should see the...

    I Video'd Our 7x16 Layout

    Stabilizer is on the list.  I did make a combo selfie stick/tripod but I don't use it often enough.  Thanks for the comments.  I am going to be showing off the contents in the Duraflame so I want them to show through.  My wine glass is awesome (Pewter & Silver Smog Guarding His Jewels (flecked...

    Almost Lost It - Windows Hijacked My PC

    Yes, we all know all that.  We bought new trailer in April and have been so busy trying to convert it and video it and keep up with housework and work.  I sprained my hands, both after having to remove a tiled floor with dried adhesive using an oscillating tool.  Had 2 main line basement floods...

    Almost Lost It - Windows Hijacked My PC

    You will see a sudden flurry of my putting up videos - I almost lost all of it.  That's point 1.  Point 2 is someday I should blog about my metaphysical journey of getting them back.  We'll only talk about point 1 here. For over a day and hundreds (it felt like hundreds) of attempts to log into...

    I Video'd Our 7x16 Layout

    We purchased a 7x16 Cargo Trailer Flat Nose Ramp Door Dual Axle Interstate Loadrunner Cargo Trailer in April.  I put up a July 18th video I took showing the layout on that date.  Shown is the IKEA kitchen counter/sink, A Lippert Tub with the frame structure Wayne built, the Dometic 3-way 6.7...

    My 1989 Class B Dodge 350 High Top

    Oh, I wasn't selling it here I was showing it off here. But it is on RV Trader, I listed it for $14k and then lowered it to $9800. Turned down a $7500 offer. Look at the details of the repair history and you'll understand why it runs so well. After that list was made I still put in a new...
