    Bob's Plan - Donation Site?

    Bob would be the one to ask about the permits and number of people as he's been researching it for awhile.

    Bob's Plan - Donation Site?

    I don't know anything about the van build. You said November, where? I can't travel until late spring I think. Great, I will be sure to find a way to donate my leftovers.

    Bob's Plan - Donation Site?

    I put this in gatherings because in a way it's related to the whole tribal help concept. I saw Bob's video on introducing SueAnn (forgive me if I forgot your name wrong) to help with things.  I was wondering if there is any kind of a permanent or even mobile storage site for donations?  For...

    Floor Install?

    I replaced the old carpet with new in my 1989 Class B. The carpet was so old I had at least 2 cups of old carpet bits of disentigration under the carpet. No duct tape - I didn't want to breathe it. I used scrapbook paper which is cardstock that's 12x12 inches square. Taped my pattern. I was...

    Aliner campers

    I had a 1993 Chalet Alite which I believe was made near the end when Chalet and Aliner were the same company but soon split. We loved it. We had a small one, about 7' x 10'. I could spin it around in the driveway if it was empty. We drove through San Francisco without any problems it was so...

    My 1989 Class B Dodge 350 High Top

    I have done all I am going to do to my Class B as we are now deep into building a cargo trailer RV.  I am not posting the video looking for buyers, I posted it to YouTube for that but I thought some of you here might like to see it.  We did the mechanics first and then painted it and sealed the...

    Tiny Homes

    I saw maybe that house or a similar one on YouTube.  Looked really heavy.  Also - taking apart things to make into beds and lots of other uses gets old real fast.  My trailer conversion is being made to be the easiest on us two older (and my disabilities) people while being the most fun.

    I was robbed.

    One of the things I like about the cargo trailer conversion is how well it locks up. There are also locks for the hitch. We will have 4 windows - 3 of them will be too small for getting in or unlocking. The larger one is big enough for an escape hatch. We had a really nice sleigh bed with...

    KARAOKE?

    I think the problem is campers who think others should hear their music who are parked outside their campsite. Many years ago Wayne and I rolled into what once was my favorite campsite and I had not been to it in a very long time. They now had RV pads and loudspeakers right down by the river...

    Marijuana and BLM land

    Like anything else, what happens depends upon the officer's beliefs and attitudes and choice of interpreting the law, which on Federal land it's a crime. So you roll the dice and any one's opinion except said officer one might run into doesn't count. I've read of people being jailed for...

    KARAOKE?

    Slightly off topic but FedEx this past Xmas had battery operated mics you use with or without bluetooth. I cannot sing a lick but bought 2 anyway. I figured if I ever need a loudspeaker (get out of here you nasty bear) or (hey camper in the cammo class A - I'll have one of those ....) Or if...

    Need Advice on Buying a camper

    I Googled 1976 Pathfinder. Looks long and heavy. Do you have experience towing something like this? Walk all the floors and make sure there are no soft spots. This would indicate floor rot in which case it would have to be ripped up and replaced. I did a small Aframe floor and it is a job...

    I bought a cargo trailer

    I couldn't get the right quote - the question was where in Colorado - Lakewood.  The rain finally stopped at least the last several days.  Sometimes it's only for a half hour, other times all day and anything in between.  I hope we do not have a wet snow winter, I cannot shovel anymore.

    just started 16ft step van

    I personally know someone who was recently down on luck and living in tent and car and getting assistance.  They are now in a nice apartment and have a high job position in a well respected company in a great town and paying their own way.  What a difference a year makes.  This person just...

    I bought a cargo trailer

    Sounds great!  We bought ours in April and still have a ways to go with it but work on it constantly.  Here in Colorado we've had a LOT of rain (everyday over a month almost) and sometimes I have to put a cover over the back just so I can work.

    Packing And Nearing The Ut Oh Moment

    We are still working on the cargo trailer build but stopped to pack it.  My thinking is I need to know what fits now and what needs a place.  What can't go?  What will we choose between?  What's the final layout for the cupboards? This weekend the last of the walls will go up, the floor was...

    Women Only: 3 Pairs Shorts

    I found a pair of shorts I really liked at Costco, at a good price and blue jean material, pockes & zipper, evem a belt. So - I bought my size.  Then I bought the size bigger and the size smaller in case later in the summer I needed one of them.  DOES ANYONE ELSE DO THIS WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING...
