    Is anyone still in Quartzsite this time of year?

    LTVA = Long Term Visitors Area Its usually a very low cost place on federal(?) land with no hookups to electric or water that allows stays of more than 14 days.

    Keep a lookout on Craigslist free section for Twin size Captain's/Storage beds. If it's free and it fits it will solve the sleeping problem and give you extra storage space it will work for now. Then just get the least expensive but most comfortable mattress you can afford. I would suggest...

    Frater, Thanks for finding those threads. Made for very interesting reading. What I took away from the links is overall pretty positive. A) Angie seems to be a really good technical administrator, which has been borne out here by quickly addressing the post order issue and the image...

    Not really a newcomer, but long time gone.

    Welcome back. Is the workcamping a long term job? How did you land it? What skills have been most useful to know? I'm about a year out from hitting the road and want to do the workcamping thing after a bit of travel. Be well & safe travels!

    HELP: Condensation Problem & still very cold living inside my Truck Camper shell

    That sounds like what Coachman trailers have as exterior walls. They call it Azdel and charge lots of $$ for it. It's structurally very strong.

    6 months into van life and winter is here

    Welcome. Glad you're staying nice and toasty in those chilly temps. The diesel heaters are a great boon to those of us who need safe and dry heat. My only concern with your setup would be the intake and exhaust hoses. If they terminate at the sheetmetal or just below, without extensions, it...

    ...continued from "Going Boondocking" in the intro section

    Do you have a Google account? If so, set up a shared/shareable album in Photos and link to it here. Photos will also give you a place to uplad and link from, rather than using the forum for image storage.

    Favorite Ramen Recipes?

    I think the peanut butter is a Thai thing, and is almost like finishing an asian dish with a lil sesame oil.

    Speaking to my heart

    Lol, just came back to add this as another good option for storage that's not on the roof or towed behind.

    Speaking to my heart

    I say go for option 3: get a hitch and very small cargo trailer, like the mini ones from uhaul aka motorcycle cargo trailer. If your Odyssey is like my Grand Caravan it will easily "forgot it's there" tow a small trailer. My GC is rated to tow 3500lbs, yours should be similar. This way you...

    Sold Listing my box van on Craigslist

    Nice rig. I would love this (if I hadn't just bought a vintage camper to rebuild & a minivan to tow it with.) It's a ready to go rig with quality where it counts (electrical). Reasonably priced ($12K on Craigslist) for what's included, especially with low mileage. I would love to get more...

    Fudging the mileage by 47,000

    I came across this 1992 Dolphin 900 last night. 1992 Dolphin I've contacted the seller and am hoping to hear back soon. Id love to have a cool older unit like this. I'd appreciate any good vibes sent my way re this camper.

    Anyone tried the cheap knock-off Chinese LI 100a batteries?

    I have no personal exper but Will Prowse on YouTube has done some investigations and teardowns. Check his channel. His website and forum have a very active and knowledgeable community @ DIYSolar.com

    Jaffle Iron

    For maximum crispyness and flavor spread mayonnaise on the exterior of the bread slices. Growing up we called the "mountain pie" makers. Fill with thinly sliced/diced apples and pears tossed with a touch fo cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and sugar. Yummy in my tummy!

    Bellyflop in TX

    PexA (Uponor/Wirsbo) is much more freeze issue resistant vs. PexB. It's made to expand and contract as part of its make-up. PexA is also less restrictive to water flow as the inner diameter of fittings is larger.

    Ham Radio

    I saw some designs a while ago for diy lte/4g boosters made out of coax cable and coat hangers or sheetmetal and a thrift store router. It would be cool if you could teach nomads how to do that kind of thing. As an alternative to $400+ WeBoost systems. Teach others how and let them do the fine work.

    Wynter 45 Quart Price Check at Aisle 1 Please

    JDub, In a few years you'll likely be able to swap them out for 600-700W panels. And large lithium batteries. At a much more affordable price too. Your 100W panels will likely still work so you can sell or donate them.
