    Roll around kitchen

    My shuttle bus is still at the mechanics. Parts came in today. I'm next in line so hopefully he will finish with it this weekend. I've had him go through it with a fine tooth comb and anything that is suspect is getting replaced. It's pretty cool when your mechanic tells you you did a good...

    ATV as your other vehicle

    If I thought I could hold my bike up at a stop sign this would be what I'd be hauling in the trailer. Danged embarrassing when you drop your bike.

    Has Anyone Seen This? Deadly Bacteria With 50% Fatality Rate Declared Endemic To The US Gulf Coast

    I haven't been willing to swim in the Gulf since I was about 12. Nasty water.

    ATV as your other vehicle

    I've considered an ebike but dang they are expensive! I have a 2,000 watt Bluetti solar generator and 2- 2,000 watt generators with a join kit so I can definitely charge one. Other than price, my hesitation is my health. The 2 years since I received a transplant kidney have been a living...

    ATV as your other vehicle

    The bus is a beast! Ford E-450 7.3L super duty. Had 6 new tires put on it today and oh boy will it move on down the road now! Just took it to the mechanics and he's going to be fixing some exhaust leaks and putting a new kit in the turbo. Filter transmission fluid, flush the radiator, change...

    ATV as your other vehicle

    If I were going to do something like that instead (big part of the point of this is the advantage of pulling a cargo trailer with the extra room).....I would go buy an old VW beetle in Mexico. Not sure how fast they will go but I've seen them go places a good 4 wheel drive truck can't! I'm...

    ATV as your other vehicle

    I wish I was steady enough to ride a motorcycle. It's really embarrassing when you drop your bike.....and not good for it either. Only time I ever dropped my bike was on purpose when a buddy I was following didn't make a curve. It was faster to drop it than to do the kickstand. I get that...

    Bought a shuttle bus!

    State Farm seems to be the main insurer that will insure a 'commercial vehicle for personal use '. It isn't cheap! I'm getting it inspected to transfer it over to an RV title asap!!! Finally found tires with heavy duty load rating E tires to put on it that aren't priced like they are gold...

    ATV as your other vehicle

    I have a shuttle bus and was looking at pulling my truck on a car hauler behind it. Not ideal but better than breaking camp if I have to go somewhere. Then I got to thinking about the last time I was full time. I was pulling a cargo trailer behind a camper van. I had a motorcycle and a 4...

    Internet on the Road

    I don't like it either..... especially since the latest price hike was within a month of receiving my unit. If you are often in areas with poor cell signal it's worth it. How many times in a day do you use the internet? I have limited mobility so I'm online a lot. It's basically my...

    Internet on the Road

    Starlink is amazing. I'm in a waitlist area and that's supposed to mean slower internet. I never have buffering. I haven't lost signal even through some pretty impressive storms Took my system over to a friend's house yesterday. Open the app and it sets itself up....in less than 5 minutes...

    Roll around kitchen

    Excellent suggestion! My first thought is I have several of the industrial stainless steel roll around shelving units. I could borrow a few shelves from one and make about a 10 shelf unit for a pantry. The issue may then become weight. I can only jockey something just so heavy in and out of...

    Roll around kitchen

    I'm always happy to cook for folks. We'll have to skip the bacon as I eat kosher. I do make my own egg rolls, corn nuggets, hush puppies, fried fish, fried squash and of course fresh cut french fries and fried chicken. I tend to do pan fried chicken like Granny taught me. Daddy always...

    I thought I had quoted maki2 on that post. It wasn't aimed at anyone else. I've tried to be nice and deflect or not respond but they weren't getting the message. You bring up a good point on a deep fryer. I hadn't thought about it attracting critters but of course it will. My grill has a...

    I would like you to go back and read all of the replies you've made to me on this. All have been hyper critical or talking down to me. Kindly follow the Golden Rule where I'm concerned.

    My wheelchair has 5 speeds. I'll catch it 😆 My days of being anywhere except fairly level ground are probably gone. I have to have somewhere big flat and clear to utilize my wheelchair lift. Speaking of.....went and picked up my shuttle bus today. My ex gave me a ride and had my wheelchair on...

    The discrimination of the van Life community in America

    I went to Canada when I drove a big rig. They brought me inside and put me in a holding cell for hours while they did whatever it was they did with the rig and my paperwork. That was before you were required to have a passport so a while back. That experience was sufficient that I have no...
