    DryFlush portable toilet

    On further thought, the dry flush sounds unnecessarily complicated and expensive.  At $595 to purchase and $50 per refill, I'd buy a litter genie and try to modify it to accept human #2.  But I'd use a jug for #1 to save on weight.  After two weeks of adding used cat litter to the diaper genie...

    DryFlush portable toilet

    It looks like a larger, toilet-shaped version of a diaper genie or cat litter genie.  They basically have a super long continuous internal bag that twists between "deposits."  Before the introduction of the litter genie, I was using the diaper genie for disposing cat litter, and found it to...

    Dreamer with a Corolla Camper

    Hello All! I've been lurking for several years and finally decided to join.  I'm constantly inspired by the creativity and determination of the people here. About me: I'm a happily married, monogamous 37 year old pansexual woman who lives in a traditional brick-and-sticks house, but dreams...

    Make money by writing

    Uncle Sam does want a chunk of pretty much any earnings. You'd have to check laws in your resident state to see if you have to pay state income tax as well.

    Cooking Pot Bath

    Great tip! I've been wondering how to wash my hair without using a ton of water. Do you lay out a towel or something to keep from making a big mess?

    Make money by writing

    It is just $5 for 500 words is insanely low. So many writers are so closed-mouthed about pay that it seems like some conspiracy, so maybe $5 for 500 seems fair to writers just starting out. But I'm going to break the taboo. I know one amateur writer [not me] who makes $150 to $250 for 300...

    Make money by writing

    Many people can bang out at least two 500 word blocks in an hour, thus earning $10 per hour, which is more than minimum wage. Taking 30 minutes to research a subject and write 500 words may satisfy some writers, but 500 well-crafted words often take more than an hour to create. I suspect...

    Writing as a job or hobby for vandwellers

    Great point, Bob. If I want to be a master novelist, I'd better get to it!

    So What's Your Story?

    About four years ago I became interested in extreme minimalism and withdrawing from 9-5 society. I'm not full time yet, or even part time, but I'm working toward it. I'd like to live in a van or RV full time, but my partner of 17 years isn't interested. This has created some tension between...

    RV, Van Conversion, or Box Truck?

    Thanks! 20mpg with a Cummins sounds amazing! But I have a could of questions when it comes to a slide in camper. If a local bear or meth-head decides to attack my vehicle, how do I get into the drivers seat? Or should I just sit there and ride it out? And what about storage space? All...

    Writing as a job or hobby for vandwellers

    This is a thread that I split off of another thread. Writing is a great topic for us and I didn't want it to get lost in another thread, or the other thread to get lost in writing. So this is a little confusing but it will make sense as it goes along. I am a big fan of writing for vandwellers...

    RV, Van Conversion, or Box Truck?

    Hi All, I'm in the planning/dream stage of getting on the road and am trying to figure out what kind of vehicle I should start with. About Me I'm in my mid thirties, out of shape, and beginning to realize time marches on, and only I can make my dreams come true. I write professionally as a...

    How Would You Describe the Mechanic You See in the Mirror?

    I'm inexperienced, but willing to try just about anything, if I have a Chilton's manual. I've replaced a clutch, hydraulic brakes, hood release, and done oil changes. My friends joke I can fix anything if I have enough pictures to guide me.:D

    Hello from Idaho

    Hi all, I'm not yet a vandweller, but hope to become one part-time within a year. My partner isn't interested in RVing around the country, so I'll be going solo. I'd love to RV full-time, but I love her more. Luckily, she is very supportive of my adventures. Because I can't sell my house or...
