I also remember they are paying truck drivers like 200k per year, and the job market is goin nuts because of the natural gas reserves. I was thinking about it... now I'm not. Thanks. ;-)
I'm happy with the R4 I'm getting from reflectx, course I'm not staying in cold climates or dealing with snow in the winter. If I was going to use a foam insulation... I would probably use that basic A/B foam you get from mixing with water and pouring or slapping on as it is just cheap as hell...
Just wanted to get all your opinions on these...
Typically I think stealth fails happen for four reasons...
Light
Obvious visual cues
Sound
Movement
Light coming from cracks in covered windows etc. big fail generally.

there is more to this, but he housed 72 homeless/low income on his 72 acre "sober living" ranch... now its gone and he's doing a year in prison because he refused probation which said he had...
I dont do a lot of cooking on the road, for camp cooking I use the biolite stove and cutting board/eating tray/thermal charging grill.
I keep it, some REI camp cookware, a splitable fork/knife/spoon multi tool I got from walmart, metal cookie box of chipped wood, a bunch of seasonings and...
I was wondering how many posts it would take on books before we got to Thoreau, kind of how many licks it takes to get to the bottom of the tootsie pop (lol) yeah Thoreau definately hits that rebellious nature loving heart string I see in most vandwellers, but its just a little too much Mike...
ech, not to me... stealth means a lot to me as they are passing more and more no overnight camping ordinances round the country. I think as the economic decline continues on (were just at the tip of the iceburg right now IMHO), more people will be shifing into becoming van, truck, car and RV...
Yeah been lookin at that, some things though are pissing me off, firstly there are full electric and 40+ mpg hybrid versions of that van in Japan, china, england, and other countries we cant get here.... WHY!!!!! (well I know why but it still pisses me off If I was safety crazy I'd be driving...

nothing sets off my "dude is in the van" radar like a big magic fan plastic cover raised with a (though mostly quiet) fan whirring sound. to me thats a total stealth fail (think I'm gonna start a topic on stealth fails)
I dont know about the vent in...
I'm done with Canada, any nature I want to see there I can see more of in Alaska off the south east passage and have wildlife experts giving me a play by play as I sit in my recliner watching. I plan to get back to Sitka one of these days and the ferry system is awesome, more like a cruse ship...
I was really considering going to Cambodia and working with an NGO, 2k in Cambodia buys you a bar on the beach (four sticks, a fridge, and a roof) sell 8 beers a day and you cover your living expenses, house on a white sand beach with two servants is 700.00 a month. but Cambodia is terrible with...
Humm... I should be able to attach a fan to the isolator switch I installed so when I flip the switch to charge the battery the fan goes on. I could also drill a small hole in the frame and a 1/2 inc PVC pipe up the side with a joint to allow air from the bottom of the vehicle (pipe and joint...
Zil- you should alter that with one word.. Not "all" food banks are get rich quick schemes. If she's out there using her social security check to buy groceries, she might be a wonderful person but she's doing it wrong, at least in a financial sense. The guy I talked to raises millions of dollars...

but wait... fat people have more white blood cells than thin people, vs a whole other group of illnesses fat people have much more resiliance... and fat guys especially older fat guys can maintain an erection twice as long as thin people (mostly because of hormonal differences) wait... why am I...
yeah they have cleaning services, and a single attendant durring the day, but the showers had those auto-spray things that activated when you left the shower room. the attendant mostly sold memberships and instructed on machine use (did walk throughs)
