Tk U, sob, I was thinking of selling my T & C, and living out of my 14 yr old Hyundai Elantra sedan, Old Faithful, only 85k miles. She took me over so many high mtn passes and with good maintenance, still a great ol' car. I watched the video of the lady who took her sedan's front and back seats...

Ok, i get it. option 1 or 3 are the only choices. Have to talk to my mechanic re the cooler addition, and cost of annual servicing. Add that to cost of solar plus install, fantastic fan plus install, and dometic fridge, along with all the gadgets that go in any van dweller's vehicle: Carbon...

I'm dealing with a stressful (too many possessions) cross town move, but am also on here dealing with van issues, since I hope to travel later this year. I live where there are not a lot of van/minivan options. When I visit family up north I see vans everywhere. There's a huge demand for used...

No, that was 250 to purchase the fantastic fan i want. The 400 is what I've seen on the forum as the cost to install the fan. My questions was: is it worth if to have the fan installed and now, a new item, the tranny cooler? The cooler was not an expense factored in. I don't do that kind of...

After paying for tint, detail and clear coat, and preparing to pay 250 for fantastic fan plus 400 for install AND cost of transmission cooler, I want a vehicle that will last more than "a bit". It's a 2005 T & C well maintained with 55k miles. I don't understand maintenance but my mechanics...

I call that number when I have a non emergency question. But in this case the recording told us we could call them at 911. Dispatch answered right away. What concerned me was the recorded message terminology: "Major incident has occurred." What in heck is a major incident? Of course...

It's never fun when crazed people are on the run in your neighborhood. Unfortunately, this fellow committed murder just before running. And I had to go out to deliver a friend to the airport. No way I was going to let someone near and dear miss their flight.

LOL, Brian! I'm moving and I've got tons of sh*t! I keep reading the forum to escape my current reality. Thx for my laugh of the day! :angel:

Haha, I do the same thing!

Good to know!

My thoughts exactly. I've got my weather radio ready to go.

Agreed, same here. Someone mentioned "tin foil hat". I see Natural Disaster, Search and Rescue, Firefighters, CERT, and related organizations along the same lines as EMT and ER training. All highly necessary, and life saving volunteers and professionals.

Excellent training and experience in CERT. If ever necessary you could still call upon those skills.

Right, I did not say so, but I thought it did pertain to van dwellers. Brian sent the video of how the system works, depending on neighborhood, city, county, state or nationwide alert. If a van dweller is stealth on a city street where an armed and dangerous person has just committed a...

I watched that video. It was informative. Thank you. Also wanted to know what others thought of the calling system. Always wondering about new laws enacted and what their intended purpose is. I appreciate a true public safety network. I don't appreciate regulated interference that is NOT in the...

Watched. My feelings: true protection of public=good thing. Inappropriate control of public=negative. I wanted forum members feedback.

Thanks, Brian. Have now received 2 calls, same msg, a homicide occurred, suspect apprehended, safe to go out now. Technology is advancing. When a murder took place 3 doors from my house (and I live in a "good" neighborhood) there was no such call. But that was 2 yrs ago.

Thx for that info but no, it came in on my landline. Never got an alert like that before. Just received two recordings, saying there was a homicide, now under control, safe to go out now.

5:20 AM call from Santa Fe Regional Police, recorded message. "Major incident occurred, stay home, at least one suspect on the loose, armed and dangerous." Called 911 to verify with police. Had to pick up friend to drop off at local airport, alert and armed with spray and non ammo weapon...

Dinner tonight with a dear friend from Bozeman, MT, and sunset views on the stone terrace at my "new house", a 100-200 year old adobe. :heart: Enjoyed sunset views, as live Friday PM music floated uphill. First I'll get settled, then I get to travel! It was said about the Greeks who sailed...
