I feel that a hammer is a very important tool to have. When you're sitting by the side of the road, at a loss for what might be the matter. you can assuage your frustration by beating on a rock with said hammer. A lower cost option is available. Find a rock, just the right rock, one that fits...

I know there are some good lawyers that care about people. No, seriously. But what is leaking out from the previous owner/manager does not bode well. I don't know if everything the new guy is doing or planning to do is legal, but hey, he's a lawyer. He must know this stuff, right? lol We'll...

The RV/trailer park I'm in has a new owner. A lawyer with no experience with a park. I've been here a yr now, been okay. Nice to have FHU, convenient location. BUT... nearly $500 per mo(with elec) is too much as it is. With the new owner, new restrictions. Rent up $25 per mo 1st of the yr...

Go to YouTube and look up busking. A harmonica and a hat! You could travel the world! Consignment shops are a good way to sell stuff. Just shop for a shop that'll pay decent. Antique malls that rent you a space is another way to go. Make art, crafts. Seems like your profession would translate...

Kudos to you to want to learn how to fix the mechanical stuff. It's something I should learn, and will, when I absolutely have to and can't get out of it! lol My son is a mechanic. I've looked at his manuals. It does look fairly straight forward, with good descriptions and pictures. With the...

There are 2 brand new FantasticFans. The one in the front, as soon as it was hooked up, it fried the adjacent ceiling light and the porch light. Fuses are fine, so....?? The fan in the bathroom worked great, until the condensation began in earnest. I think the moisture got to the wiring. In...

The Eva Dry is the brand I'd been looking at, just a bigger one though. I think it was about $100? But since having the air conditioner on fan only, it's been dry in here. Run it all winter though? Hmmm The TT is an '82 Terry Taurus 24'. It has the jalousie windows, but it also has all the...

It's a forced air propane furnace. There are vents, only 3 'cuz it's only 21' of living space. By not vented, do you mean like the Mr Buddy?

Well.... I didn't buy a dehumidifier. Didn't want to spend the money. What I have been doing, that seems to work, is leaving the a/c turned on to fan only, low. Even the back behind spots are dry! I did add more foam board to the problem walls but they were still being wet, prior to the a/c...

I've got to get this issue resolved. I checked under the bathroom sink/cupboard. I'd put Reflectix on the outside wall. Yep, it's wet. What's weird is that the kitchen cupboards, top and bottom, have no problem. There's heat going to the whole TT, bathroom too. It's not any warmer in the kitchen...

Update. I put the foam board between mattress and wall. No condensation there, but...... I have 2 mattresses and one is about 6" shorter than the other. The shorter one is on top and pushed down toward the foot of the bed. The foam board is up to the height of the top mattress. So there's a gap...

Do you live in a community property state? If you haven't actually filed for divorce, the van will be part of the assets of the marriage. You may think everything is equitable between the two of you now, but when it gets right down to it, it could turn .... unpleasant. The person you divorce is...

Don't sell yourself short on being able to do repairs and such. It's not anything you can't figure out. Home Depot/Lowes/Ace have some employees that know their stuff. Customers can sometimes even be of assistance. YouTube has a video for EVERYTHING! And of course, all the help you'll get from...

Okay, Stargazer, I have put in the foam board with barrier. Hopefully that will resolve the problem! As for the dehumidifier, Almost There, that is also on the list to get. Only hesitation on that is the space it takes. 21' of actual living space, 2 adults and one really big dog. I'll report...

I'm grateful that my English Mastiff is so lazy! Getting up to eat is the height of his activity for the day. lol The only disturbance he creates is when he has a lively dream. The TT rocks from it, like an earthquake!

I thought I'd chased down all the problem areas. Ha! Wrong. I have a 24' TT with the bunk bed. I took out the upper so I could sit up in bed. Both foam mattresses are on the bottom. I just felt between the bed and the outside wall. It's not damp, it's WET! Threw away one of my pillows from...

I'd suggest being very cautious about who you share your plans with. Mostly for your own sanity. Most folks just don't get it and you don't need people looking down on you. Come here to share your goals and concerns, hopes and fears. "We" get it! The most important thing is to make sleep as...

Being in a small town, it's going to be a challenge to stealth park. Everyone knows everyone's business. Not impossible. What are the laws and police opinion of living in a vehicle? Friend's driveway maybe to park in?

Depends on what your definition is of "room". My adult son and I share my 24' TT. His "room" is the sofa, pulled out. The bunk above is dropped down for storage and he's put a curtain up from there. So that is his room. Mine.... the TT is the bunk bed model, so I have that. I pull the little...

Assuming you have good verbal control of your dog, you could get a well fitting harness for the dog and a pair of roller skates for yourself and go for a run! Alternative could be a sled with wheels, or a bike. Could be fun... or scary.... or both.
