    Anyone want to spend the summer in Montana and help with some building?

    Actually thought about converting a grain bin into a house for my son many years ago. What is the silo made of?

    My 2023 Promaster livability build

    Looking good! Be sure to seal the box you have the propane bottle in and cut a vent to go outside of the van. We looked at all 3 2023 models last weekend. I liked them but the seats were terrible.

    God Help Me!!!

    Getting clobbered with 6" of rain in an hour is something else and would have probably mentally impacted anyone, but it is just another day. Mother name does throw temper tantrums from time to time and you do have to ride them out in van life. You don't have that secure feeling that you would...

    Wireless Backup Camera

    I also use a wireless cam and like Camper I experince a delay in its display. I also was unable to to locate a way up through the dashboard so I simply ran the cable up on the side and secured it with gorilla tape. I little cheap looking but it works.

    Best states for "Home Address" for car registration, driver's license, mailing address, low taxes, and remote working online & taxes?

    Your ideas sound good but unfortunately postal regulations get in the way. :( Postal regulations state that mail MUST be delivered as addressed, in fact its a crime to knowingly deliver mail to any other address but human error sometimes causes issues. Some customers have mail delivered to...

    New England Air Quality

    I am thinking about taking a trip through the New England area in September. I will be traveling through VT, RI, ME, PA, and so on. I don't hear much about the air quality caused by the forest fires in Canada. Once in awhile there will be a news story, but not much more than that. Can anyone...

    Minivan, Hanging Curtains behind Driver Seat?

    I use an expandable curtain road....you twist it and it expands to hold snugly. Unfortunately, with the vehicle vibration it does fall down from time to time. I too am looking for a way to keep them in place. My curtain slides to one side for storage and allows for me to use my rearview mirror.

    Window unit aircon in cargo barrier.

    Running an AC unit and running your Maxx fan.......kind of thinking this would be futile? Won't you be sucking out the cool air through the max fan? I'm looking at installing a portable AC unit too, thinking I would drain it using a tube and a hole in the floor.

    Pretty good and balanced article on vanlife

    She is the type of person I would to meet. She has been there and done that! I sometimes wish I could travel and do all the things she has done.

    Buyers remorse..Seeking some guidance

    Look around on YouTube and search for fees to avoid when buying a car. Everyone of them tell you NOT to get the extended warranties. This are all pure profit for car dealerships! They are like playing blackjack at a casino, the house has all the odds in their favor. If you find yourself...

    Newbie

    Welcome! I had to ask myself this question. I'm a bookkeeper and did the math. Many RV's are costly to purchase and operate. I watched a show on TV where their super RV cost $175,000, got 7 mpg, and cost over a $1,000 to fill the tank. It was both their home and office and thought it was a...

    Mount walls straight to the metal frame?

    For, me....I have no walls....just bear metal. I converted a cargo van and I feel that walls would make it feel even smaller. I also get concerned with moister collecting behind the walls and I don't see anyone using vaper barriers??

    USPS Priority mail question

    I'm a retired postmaster. Postal regulations give time periods when different types of parcels must be returned. The main thing is to communicate with the post office. If a customer calls and asks us to hold the parcel, we will. If we don't hear from you.......it will be returned to sender...

    Mount walls straight to the metal frame?

    I have changed the design and layout of my van several times. As stated above, using the slats allows you to change things without drilling new holes each time. If you can anchor directly to the metal ribs without having to drill holes......go for it. Some people find it more appealing to see...

    Looking to Repair or Upgrade Your Van?

    Something you might try. Contact the post office you want to ship to and let them know you have a package coming. Then instead of using "general delivery" use the address.......POB 9998. This is an active delivery at all offices and is used for mail being sent to the post office staff.

    spam email about PO box rental?

    I worked for the USPS for over 24 years.....unless you sign up to be notified, its a scam.
