    How can I secure my van's doors against someone breaking a window to reach in and opening the door?

    When I lived in my camper van for 2 and 1/2 years I had a 7 lb dog that would take your arm off She was a good deterant! However, long before that, I managed an apartment community in a ghetto. I'm going to show you pictures of what I used. On one occasion, they saved me from getting, robbed...

    Buying and using land without attracting attention

    I'm so terrified of math! If it weren't for my sweet high school teacher Mr Daniels I would have flunked it! I get someone else to do it for me 🤣🤣

    Is it possible without Solar

    It's very easy! I'm soon to be 68 and 6 years ago I lived in a camper van for 2 and 1/2 years I did get solar because of a friend installed it for me but I did very well without it. I did not require a refrigerator, I am the queen of drive-throughs! I also had a little dog, but I was with her...

    Experimenting with portable AC unit

    This is a totally crazy idea because I have no idea of how or if this might work. Could you hook your exhaust hose to your existing max air fan in the roof?

    Paranoia

    I must be obtuse! I did not notice any arguing, just people trying to help. 🙂

    Paranoia

    This gentleman does not sound like someone who would be clear-headed enough in a high state of fear and anxiety, to use a gun effectively.

    This has worked for some people. Make a recording of a dog barking viciously.

    Paranoia

    I never parked where there was no other park to vehicles. Get a good dog, they will alert you to everything!

    Paranoia

    Okay sweetie I just looked up your simple, van. You might want to put some small scratches or dents on that thing along with a little mud! That van just screams, hey I am wealthy and have a lot of expensive stuff in here! I'm not criticizing you for being able to afford that, I'm just saying...

    Paranoia

    I think your money would be better spent, on a good therapist to can help you with anxiety. Just saying, from a 67-year-old single female who lived in a van for two and a half years. I was never afraid but I was wise and where I parked. Kept the keys in the ignition.

    Paranoia

    I agree that it seems more like an anxiety problem. I lived in a camper van, a big blue one with solar on top, for two and a half years, never had any issues! I am a 67-year-old senior, single, female. I parked in rest areas, 24-hour business parking lots, never had a problem, even on city...

    Advantages of Large Suv over medium sedan?

    The biggest thing you need to worry about, is can you stretch out flat, to sleep. If you don't get decent sleep the rest of your life will suck! I started out on wheels in my car, very bad for the back. I don't know how tall you are, but a minivan would be a good choice!

    I was shocked by "Kratom" and how good it worked

    I have arthritis, osteoporosis a little scoliosis, the worst of all, sciatica! Doctors will not give me pain meds. They keep repeating surgeon! I kept waiting for the link to purchase it. But you didn't. It would be so wonderful if I could walk to the mailbox, or could walk Walmart to get...

    Eric has the best channel! I don't know about where you live sweetie, but here in California you can't just double somebody's rent in an apartment. It can't be raised above the surrounding market amount. Good luck sweetie, if you get close to Oceanside California give me a holler!

    Hello all!

    Well, for me, it is being able to stand up, because of my back. Size is not such a big deal, but reliability is. I have lived in my car, a big camper van and my Honda Odyssey. My camper van was awesome! Welcome!
