    Debt

    I understand several people in this forum began living mobile as a necessity resulting from foreclosure on your homes. Do you also have experience with credit card charge-offs?

    Title?

    <P>Hoew important is it to have a title for a travel trailer? If I buy one without a title, can I get in trouble for not having that?</P>

    Floor and Carpeting

    <P>There is a small carpet store near my house where they throw out scraps all the time. I am thinking about pulling these scraps out and putting them all together to make a floor.</P>

    Junkyard finds

    <P><FONT size=3>Has anyone had any luck finding a vehicle or parts for cheap at a junkyard? Even if I had the money to spend on one, I don't really want all the crap they come with. I have more manageable things of my own that I would like to move in (except a shower). I don't particularly want...

    Banking for free

    I know, right? but mine has no minimum balance (thank God ) and was only $100 deposit to open, like yours. My bank is awesome. If you have at least 10 debit transactions, 1 automatic bill pay, and are signed up for e-statements, it earns 3.05%. That's better than most savings accounts are...

    Banking for free

    That is very cool of them to do that for you. I think more local banks are likely to work with you, but then of course that may not work well with much traveling. I have a free checking account that even earns interest, but my bank only has three locations in upstate SC.

    Scavenging

    <a href="" target="_blank"></a><div><br></div><div>I began scavenging a few years ago when I lived in an apartment and saw ppl throwing perfectly good things in the dumpster: vacuums, tv stands, hampers. I salvaged as much as I could, used what I could, and sold as much of the rest as I could...

    Seeking advice

    This is a very small school, only about 200 - 300 ppl, so I'm not worried about campus police. The amount of time they are cooped up should be comparable to what it is now. And I really don't know anyone to give them to. Either I don't trust the way they would care for them, or they just don't...

    Seeking advice

    So I will have 2 dogs that I will be taking with me to college while living in... some sort of vehicle (don't know what kind yet). I'm fairly certain that I will be able to set up on the edge of campus somewhere, so I don't think stealth will be an issue, but if it were, well, my dogs would make...

    Bathing

    do you travel around much? you can always walk into a gym and tell your shopping around and would they mind letting you try it out first. Of course you can do this more easily if you are on the move and always near a different gym, but I don't know what your circumstances...

    Omg this is so awesome!

    No worries about giving up the little ones; I don't plan to. Just have to figure out the best way to accommodate them. exercise seems a biggie. Don't want to leave them enclosed in a van all the time, especially one the size of a kennel. I hate kennels. Leaving &nbsp;them with family seems like...

    Limited space bedding

    I just thought of an awesome idea for bedding in a limited space. I was looking at a work van for sale that still had metal shelving units in it. And I thought, you could sling a cot between those. Hammock! either a cot or hammock would be extremely space efficient and easy to put away when not...

    Mobile tv

    I would go a completely different direction, not knowing much about the tv stuff. This may not work for you, but perhaps it will at least give you an idea. What kind of cell phone and service do you have? I am planning to invest in a Droid charge (since I am with Verizon). This phone is the...
