    Has anyone ever used frosted glass on their windows instead of a black fabric?

    Amazon has tons of that stuff that I have used and I love it!

    I have used several variations of this product and I just love it! There are so many choices, I even have some white that's on the inside and the back is black so it makes it seem lighter inside that room. No one can see inside, check it out you might find something you like!

    Quick bed/chair for suv?

    I bought a 6-in tri-fold and I'm very happy with it! I can fold it up and have more floor space during the day!

    Determing my solar power needs/ split from: Keeping warm in sub-freezing weather, using only a tiny amount of fuel for heat.

    Thank you for your reply! I can certainly do without an induction, and I have decided that I should have some kind of decent refrigerator. Miracle whip, a tub of land o lakes real butter and iced coffee takes up a lot of space 🤣 Gracie needs a bit of work! 🙏🏻💕

    City boondocking...?

    Most gyms, like the planet fitness here in Oceanside, don't even bad an eye! I would take in my pink backpack go straight to the showers do my thing and then walk straight back out! They know what we are doing and they don't care! I parked anywhere that had 24-hour businesses in it. Never had a...

    City boondocking...?

    I live in Oceanside California, and I have wondered that myself because I don't really travel. I just bought a small travel trailer, 14 ft, I thought I would start by asking some of the business owners that have large areas behind their business. Of course it would be better, if I could find...

    Ok, I'm pullin' the trigger on a power station........

    I love white! I'm going to plant the walls in my little aristocrat I just got white. The space is so small it can use all the help it can get!

    Stupid question, are solar panels interchangeable to use on different solar chargers, or do you have to get the same brand? 💜

    With all that said, sounds like you two are happy with your purchase! Good to know! I want to find a small fridge basically for condiments and a couple of drinks. Don't cook did that and I'm done.

    Ok, I'm pullin' the trigger on a power station........

    Wow! I need to figure out what I'm going to do for my tiny little travel trailer. I'm 68 and not that it matters but I am a girl! Who sucked at Math!! I have the advantage of living in Oceanside California, and I don't really travel much if I do I will just take my van. The other advantage I...

    Determing my solar power needs/ split from: Keeping warm in sub-freezing weather, using only a tiny amount of fuel for heat.

    Well, here I am again in February of 2023! I just bought a 14 ft aristocrat low liner. Since I don't really travel it will suit me much better because I am able to stand up in it. It is pretty much empty. I'm not looking to get a solar panel yet. I do have friends That would allow me access to...

    Register Van as RV?

    May I ask why you would want to do that? My camper van was registered as a van. I was grateful for that when someone in a mobile home park questioned me being there. I just showed them my registration. It's it in a regular spot.

    Mice!!!!!! - By the time you notice, you have an infestation!

    One year I opened my glove compartment for a tissue, when I looked in, all my tissues were torn apart and all fluffy! I cleaned it all out and put in a new container of tissues. The same thing happened! Then my dad told me where they were coming in! 🤣 Right where all those wires come inside!

    What do you do with your dog when you have to go shopping for food?

    You can't just register your dog as a service animal, unless you do it through one of those illegal places that send you an illegal vest.

    What do you do with your dog when you have to go shopping for food?

    I just use the Walmart app, order, then schedule a time but I want to pick up! They come and put everything right in your vehicle!

    New to Van Life

    Welcome sweetie! I lived in my camper van for 2 and 1/2 years and my minivan for 6 months and before all of that my car for 6 months! My camper van was by far, the most comfortable. I sold my camper van and moved into a little trailer which I have loved, but now I would like to go back to living...

    Overnight Walmart Job + Chihuahua + Minivan Life = Needs to make possible!!!!

    I could handle the rest, but not the roaches. I went to see my son in Washington once and when I got to the motel I had reserved, it was unbelievable! People were hanging out in the doorways doing drugs no clothes on but when I saw bugs, I just left. They would not refund my money.

    How do I keep windows from fogging up?

    Get some little inexpensive alarms that go off at 125 decibels or more, Amazon has them and they are tripped by the vibration of someone trying to get into your vehicle! Work like a charm! Excuse me, did you say three decades ago! Just Google the crime rate! Maybe you shouldn't, it would be too...
