    Sassypickin's Van

    Thanks, Cyndi! Burning Man - what a unique experience.  I am so glad I went.  I chose not to carry my phone or a camera around.  My daughter took some pics that I may be able to access at RTR. I bought a used adult trike to get around.  It worked so well I thought I almost had a little...

    Rival to Columbus Day Storm coming- OR/WA 10-16-16

    DH and I are tucked in and watching the trees begin to sway. In the middle of the Columbus Day storm, I was on a Greyhound bus riding up the Willamette Valley to Portland for a visit with my dad and his family. I sat behind the driver and screamed with excitement and fear when he took his turn...

    Extending bed

    I built my bed behind the driver's seat but with a set width. If you want one foam mattress that will bend upward to become a couch back, here's what I did: I sliced only part way through the foam down the length about 1/3 from one edge. This left enough solid foam on the top surface that...

    Just when you become resigned to....

    Kat, JiminDenver's links are what I was thinking, and the one with arms folds up if you need that storage feature.  Also, I saw a Walmart one that doesn't fold up for about $32.  There are some clever homemade examples if you do a Google Images search for 'DIY toilet chair'.  Here's one...

    Not Recomending This . . .

    Okay, since I've managed to live through all my misadventures so far, I can admit to some dufus moves. Back in the 70's: My VW bus back bumper falls apart, so I happen on a 2 x 8 and bolt it on. Next thing you know, people are honking and waving at me as they pass by and I'm waving back, and...

    Just when you become resigned to....

    Hi Kat, My condolences on the loss of your father.   I hope you and your mom have crazy wonderful adventures together getting the rig fixed up and getting on the road.  I know my mom would be happy I am getting out and traveling in mine.  She was a wanderer, too. And hey, you two might be...

    Thanks, Headache!  It's working out great.  I'm ok with simple (though I much admire those with the mad skills for finish carpentry and wonderful wiring). Sassy

    Sassypickin's Van

    Thanks for the idea, Queen!  I seriously considered a hand cart, but after practicing a few times with the actual panel, loading it in and out, and carrying it a few feet here and there, I decided it was not a big deal, and I elected to not add another carry item.  I was gifted a neat little...

    2017 RTR in Quartzsite

    Iggy I was so wrapped up in my little solar project last year I did not get around to visit and I missed connecting with you. Let's do the campfire again! ... I pretty much forgot what you look like but I remember YOU. Sassy

    Sassypickin's Van

    How time flies!  February 2014 was when I bought my van, and recently the odometer turned over 200,000 miles.  The 20,000 miles I’ve put on it have been among the best of my life.  I meant to travel and disperse camp my own state of Oregon, but I and often with DH meandered off into beautiful...

    what happened to sassy

    I am here, Wagoneer.  I haven't been 'here' much, though, so my apologies for neglecting my CRVL friends.  I treasure you all. I was on the road around winter RTR for 2 1/2 months and after March things just kept rolling in.  Spent a week or so helping my daughter move from Texas to Kansas...

    Rebuild 91 Dodge short van

    I just love that there are so many things to look forward to. I'd be heading to the Colorado RTR myself if I didn't already have plans to be elsewhere! Best to you, John, glad you are taking it as slow and easy as you can. It will get done and they say the getting there is the best part so...
