Here's some food for thought. I live full time in a 24' TT with my adult son and a Mastiff. Most would consider that pretty tight quarters. I look at a whole lot of wasted space. Most of the time, I'm sitting on my bed with my laptop. I stand up to cook, wash dishes, walk the 2 steps to the...

As a professional pet groomer, I've recommended it to clients for flea and tick infestations. Food grade is the only kind I use. There's a difference between what is used for pool filters and food grade. I get it at feed stores, labeled for feeding to livestock for worms. I give it to my own...

The wind isn't the problem. The problem is the stuff that gets carried in it. Sand.... Trees.... Patio furniture.... Snow.... Rain.... Cows....

In a world of way too many companies that only care about making the sale and leave you high and dry when you need help, your response here is remarkable and refreshing. Kudos to you!!

Completely agree with Canine. You must have a firm foundation to work from. The dog must respect you. If you have to say a command half a dozen times before the dog might decide to comply, you don't have that firm foundation.

Sometimes at night, I'm awakened by what I think at first is an earthquake. Then I realize it's my Mastiff having a dream. Thankfully he does not snore. If he has an itch, that can be mistaken for someone pounding on the door. His bed is the dinette dropped down to a bed. Who needs a table anyway?

A conventional twin mattress is 38" wide and my space is 30". It's a bunk so there's wall on each side.

Oh, for a good night's sleep, to not be awakened by pain in my back! I'm still in the travel trailer. It's the bunk style. I took the upper berth out so I could sit up in bed. That allowed me to have two of the foam cushions/mattresses.  This is slightly better than just one. The problem is that...

As to the magnet signs staying on..... I got mine from a sign place. They used really strong magnets. The secret they shared with me to have them stay put was to take them off regularly and clean them as well as the car door. If they aren't on the car, store them completely flat. The only time...

Some breeds are more amenable to this lifestyle than others. My personal experience is with Persians and Himalayans, showing and breeding. That said, every cat is VERY much an individual. Also, they may behave reliably for years and then do something out of character. Dogs do this as well, but...

What Canine said 1000%. I've been professionally involved with dogs for 45 some years. Dogs have been my livelihood as well as my passion all my life. Groomer, trainer, AKC exhibitor, breeder, rescue..... I encounter people every day that have no clue the disservice they are doing their dogs...

Some of the most decent, good hearted, generous people I've known have been what you are considering to be "dirty people in old beat up vans, with messy hair and strange clothes". I met a fellow once, rather disheveled. I assumed he was down and out. Turns out he was an internationally renowned...

Lot of city or county web sites are very difficult to navigate to find that sort of info. Some towns put signs up all over saying no overnight. If you eliminate places to stay based on a law saying you can't, you're going to limit yourself a lot. I tend to go by the intent of the rules, which is...

Well, you could always go with dreads!

My hair is medium length. I used a 2 or 3 gallon bucket, outside. I turned my head upside down and dunked into the bucket, used a cup to get the back of my neck wet. Suds up, then dunk again. I had a gallon jug full of clean water if I didn't get a good enough rinse. I was able to do this urban...

Wow, major score on the security gig! That takes a huge load off your mind. Happy dance!!!

Welcome! Yes on the skirting. It makes a big difference.

What I eat varies with my living situation and where I am. When I was living in my truck, I got a 5 day cooler and completely wrapped it in Reflectix. Frozen gallon jugs of water, 3-4 days in Palm Springs, summer. I'm in a TT in a park now, with a full size rv fridge. I'm vegan, which makes...

The vent/fans that were in my mh were toast from the so cal sun, literally crumbled when removed. I replaced them with the basic Fantastic fans. They worked great for the year I had the mh. Now I have a TT. Same situation with old crappy vents. Replaced with the same Fantastic fans. The one in...

Hmmm, so to add a high top to a 'burb, the same procedure as doing it to a van? I have an '86 'burb, and was thinking I should sell it to get a cargo van or camper van or ??? But..... I am rather enjoying the burb, very comfortable to drive. 12 mpg, more than I thought it'd get. And it does what...
