    Go On the Road or ..

    Maybe consider a cook job at a place on CoolJobs? Travel to a resort destination for a few months, get paid and a place to live, and explore a new area. You can return to the family after your job is over. If you like it then pick a new place, rinse & repeat.

    Freedom from BAD SMELLS!

    Ozone machines are very useful at getting rid of lingering odors. When I worked as a maintenance person at a resort we deployed them often. Usually in rooms that had been smoked in or had fish cooked in (full kitchens). The rule was to turn it on on the timer, leave, come back x hours later &...

    Paint shop for high top

    You also got the benefit of having a cooler roof by using TropiCool, asit reflects a good bit of the uv.

    Holding Thinsulate in place

    I would think that the "Headliner" spray adhesive would work well, as it's made to adhere fabric to car metal in automotive conditions.

    Calypso’s Ogygia .. the Odyssey of the P42

    For the sentimental things, maybe go thro them and put them in totes, keeping the most precious things. and asking the kids what they might want from the rest. Can you rent a very small weatherproof storage unit? Keep that stuff there and reevaluate in a year or two. Scan some pics/artwork for...

    Converting Title for Converted Van to an RV Title, Easiest States

    Vermont requires no conversion and no residency to register your van as a motorhome, just paperwork and $$. Once you register in Vermont you just call your current insurance agent (provided they cover motorhomes) and have them adjust your policy. Be aware of what that new policy covers re: full...

    Can I raise roof on P42 step van?

    You are looking for some sort of arched "roof truss" system, if I understand correctly? I'd add that you should check out some of the YouTube camper factory tours, especially the high end models. Watch and take notes on how they do their roofs, structure & materials. If you do raise it, you...

    You Ain't Right Club

    Is there an archive of the board? It would be a great shame to lose (access to) all of the accumulated knowledge and tips that it provided. Even if it isn't an active forum Gary: Thank you for all your years of hard work, patience, endurance, and helping the community.

    Public Toilets

    I've found the p-style to work great. Mine's a few years old. I just wish it was made from a stiff silicone instead of a hard plastic. I keep it in my van or car, under the front driver's seat, so it's easy to grab when needed. It's in a ziplock, wrapped in a paper towel, and nests inside a...

    Music for traveling

    You might also want to Google "youtube mp3 extension X" where X is the browser you use(Chrome, Firefox, Opera). Check applicable Reddit threads too for recent advice/help/software suggestions. Just be a bit careful about trying to avoid malware by downloading from "reputable" sites like...

    Solar wires thru side vent of cargo trailer

    You could always install the cable gland next to the vent, or anywhere else on the top of your side walls, and still avoid the hole in the roof.
