The sink/counter/water set-up has been working very nicely. With just 18" to work with, choices were limited. My first thought was 80/20 extruded aluminum, but the cost for corner fittings alone was over $300! If there had been a few more inches to spare, I might have used a commercial prep...

This makes total sense to me for someone who wants the benefit of the rain shield only when parked/camping and does not want to have them more or less "permanently" installed.

Ahh. Spring in North Texas. Ninety-five degrees yesterday; 64 this morning after the requisite 30 minutes in the tornado shelter while the rotation tried to decide whether to drop down for a visit. More storms to come through the week, but the temperature change will be less dramatic.

Gweetings, Earthling!

My husband spits into our grocery bag trash hanging on the back of the seat. I don't know why, but it's an option. If I tried that, it would be a mess. The sink works fine for me. He also uses a travel water pik.

I just want to say: It gets better. It does. Unlike some, I would never, ever want to be in my 40's again. In fact, aside from being 15 (which you did say was a very rough time for you, too), that was the period in my life when I was the least content. Research shows that to be true for...

Welcome! Camping=Good Stuff. Enjoy!

My mother (yes, my mother) loves epsom salt soaks for just that reason. Hope it helps!

A version based on a short, squat mason jar caught my eye the other day (Lowes). Small and packable. I did manage to resist, however.

Small towns can be busy places traffic-wise! Sometimes the layout and lack of controlled intersections can make it nearly as unpleasant as driving in a big city. I try to remind myself of that when I think about permanently escaping to a less populated area (daily). I live in one of the worst...

'Cause you know that's where it all starts, right? (It's a slippery slope of the line, ain't it.) LOL!

Thanks for the update! I love to hear what has worked for you and why. We are barely-timers these days, having gone from a low top to a hightop conversion van recently. I nearly cratered to a long time Roadtrek crush, but saw my way clear just in time (LOL). We also nearly went with a...

Best wishes for the two of you!

Me, too! My back has changed the ways in which I can be active. Being less active, along with a couple of nasty bouts of (whispering now) COVID and some birthdays, has begun to impact my cardiac and respiratory functioning. Those changes have been sneaking up on me. Now I'm sneaking up on...

Moby, my "Once Van," has been hit while parked on the street in front of our house for the second time. My guess is it happened about a week ago. The fiberglass on the rear wheel flare was broken off, and there is a small dent on the bumper. The van is old and semi-retired, so I doubt I will...

Ouch!

Groan.

Me, too! Once in my hands, I knew it was a "no."

The effort you've made to let us know how this worked out is appreciated. I've wondered, and wish you the best with your van. Being patient, persistent, and resourceful doesn't guarantee results--but it sure makes more possible!

Not really. Top has four coats of tung oil; bottom, two. This is repelling water enough for us, for now. The sink is not even caulked, although I did take Maki's advice, kind of, about treating the cut out. I found I don't like working with silicone caulk, and just covered it with Elmers...
