    Spray Insulation For Cargo Trailer

    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...

    Good Reads.

    Van versus Truck with a Camper?

    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...

    Don't take guns into Canada

    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.

    Things learned from installing bat/inverter..

    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.

    How to get free food mostly without fraud/how food banks work

    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...
