A couple of years ago, I saw a pickup with a fiberglass camper shell on it. It also had a roof rack, but it wasn't attached to the shell at all. The vertical supports were attached to the truck body, with the rack sitting a few inches above the fiberglass. I would have studied it more, but he...

The smell??? I'm reading this while covered with two wool blankets. I just put my nose right on them and and can't smell anything.

I would suggest specifying a time limit (in writing), which could be repeated if both parties agree to the rules. Without limitations, you could end up with squatter problems. A visit to an attorney for some advice might be a good idea.

If you're looking for those little red things with two holes, show that photo to people in a decent hardware store.

I hope you find something that works! Some good idea have been mentioned here. Here in WA (before COVID), junkies would move into a vacated house, and if they had kids, they couldn't be kicked out UNLESS the house was put up for sale. So, two smart landlords put their places up for sale, and...

Always remember that insurance companies are NOT in the claim-paying business -- they're in the premium-collecting business.

What's your plan for the windshield? "Hey, look! That van is covered with bars. There must be something valuable inside!"

A friend of mine said that's what happens when you put your insurance in the hands of a lizard.

A gas shortage isn't all that likely. Politicians will jump on anything that negatively affects THEM, and a gas shortage would probably do that.

I think the difference is how you maintain your camp. Keep it tidy, and it gives the impression that you're just camping. If it looks like a trash pile, you do, too. I think the drunks and junkies give the word 'homeless' a bad name. These are people who have no intention of going by anyone...

A couple of years ago, a driver in the lane next to me slammed on his brakes for a red light, and ended up halfway into the intersection. So he backed up into the front-mounted bike on the pickup behind him. Unfortunately, the options for carrying a bike are limited.

Personally, I'm an advocate of concealed carry. When you don't advertise, you're less likely to attract a human predator, and also less likely to send the little wussies into a panic.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's what YOU think. Just like on any other subject.

If necessary, SSS. Shoot, Shovel, Shut up. And don't post photos online, either. If you've got a functioning brain, use it.

Don't bother insulating if you don't think you will need it. Some people need to learn the hard way. Install a ceiling vent to let hot air rise out of the rig. Install some kind of exterior frame on the roof about 3 - 4" higher than the roof surface. When you're stopped, stretch a white or...

Monsoons... Basically, if you have common sense, you'll do okay. If you don't, life can vary between annoying and deadly. I used to have a neighbor who seemed to only act on unthinking impulse. He got himself into some really stupid situations with water and mud, and went through quite a...

I live in Western WA, where most of the crime comes from the drunks and junkies, often called the "homeless". The true homeless don't mind working, and probably would prefer to do so. But the addicts (both kinds) are mostly dedicated to their obsessions. There are hotels for them, free food...

Try to get past the headlines. If these contaminants fall out of the sky and onto the ground, do you think they're in the groundwater? (Yes, they are.) Do you think they're contaminating wells and public water sources? (Yes, they are.) The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has found PFAS in 16...

Happy Camper: That is an excellent suggestion! Thank you!😁
