I know what you are talking about...SO when I did my van build I put in a diesel heater that slows down and also put in a roof vent and a electric thermostat controlled power to the fan cost 145 all together rather then the Maxxat 295 or so!

it can be done for sure....just a choice...My choice is fresh everything nothing premade or packaged at all

Keeping in mind I paid a $1000 for the Dodge 1993 Cummins Diesel and I've put over 90000 miles on it in the last 10 years with about 5 grand of repairs total and I could sell it tomorrow for at least 4 grand..Been from AZ to Mexico, Oregon several times etc etc never stranded with it.... So...

depends where but for my sis at least if they raised the amount she got in SSI then the food stamps went down by same or more lol we used to laugh about that the net extra was usually about 50 cents to a dollar more!

I guess in my monthly budget I include repairs, propane for cooking and heating, netflixs is free on my phone plan but Prime is 10 a month but even taking just your expenses... food 300 phone 100 65 ins for cars, fuel about 200 a month $55 a month rent for park $4 every 2 weeks for truck to come...

I'd love to see that breakdown of $310 a month..maybe learn something

My sister who got $761 a month SSi when she was alive did get food stamps in AZ $16 a month...not sure that I could make it on that but maybe you can....there is also the cost of heating, repairs oil changes tires etc etc

Assuming no repairs at all which is never the case ie tires, oil changes plus breakdowns I have found are the major part of unexpected costs which are totally expected in some ways just never sure when they will happen!

being somewhat healthy I try to supplement my income by odd jobs or make money for 3 months working straight and then not for a year or 2..The highest cost things have been vehicle maintenance and 5er...bought cheap tires for truck.. broke apart in first year so there went 500 bucks, bought...

yEP..THE ONLY THING i FOUND IS THAT ONE HAS TO SET THE TIMER ever SINGLE TIME YOU WANT TO USE IT oops sorry...pain in the rear that is...some have actually made a real timer but t was way beyond my abilities or budget lol

All great questions and the very best thing you can do is look at Nates Yarbrough channel, has all of that and more, with lists orf parts, how to tcetc. https://www.youtube.com/c/EXPLORISTlife I did all of my system by just following along 2500 watts 4000 watt inverter 12 lead batteries and I...

I'm not sure if they all have a thermostat but they all have a setting with the buttons that go up and down I have three of them two of them have the stupid remotes that don't tell you anything and then I have another one that's got an LCD that tells you the temperature of the ambient...

That's what I'm talking about! Here is my ribs and home made milanesas!...Loved the meat in San Luis Mexico so much cheaper and soooo good! way better then here for sure! I want to put a 110 split in my rig off batteries ..i'd use half the power my 8000 BTU wall one uses

well you know what they say Rome was not built in a day!! baby steps baby steps and pretty soon you have a whole thing all set up but yeah cutting the holes in 30° weather in the snow not much fun

I saw that they were pretty cheap over Mexico way..did you put in a 110 or 220 version? Hee I run the AC ll night too in summer then I have to run generator at night costs me About 5 bucks each day so the cost would be even cheaper for that down there!

i figure i can live on just solar so no electric specially if it's only 90 highs..you run ac all night? or just during day? i did the back half with 100 watts..now have 2000 watts on it :-)

wow that would be great..wasn't sure with the van where I could stay..I'll bring my bike for sure to check out the town a bit... I don't know if you looked at my Facebook page but I just got a trailer hitch for my van that I put on yesterday and it works great and all that but got today I am so...

i use a diesel heater and maybe use 3 gallons every 3 to 5 days

yea small is definitely easier..thinking of going down there in my van to check it out more then once I see it coming down with truck and trailer to stay

My suggestion if you can find where to park for free or much cheaper then parks is get a diesel heater..will keep a van warm or HOT if you wish.I use one 5k model to keep my 30 foot 5er nice and warm down to 27 or so much cheaper then propane no danger of fires and no humidity either
