You'll get the hang of what roads somewhat off the beaten track are okay for your vehicle. Take what time you need to adapt and learn---it's new skills. Depending on how things fall out/fall apart, I hope to be out there in late 2017 if at all possible. 2018 at the latest. I don't plan on going...

LadyJo, I know what you mean. The thread I started "connect, disconnect..." really helped something click for me even if I never have a true working knowledge of solar. I don't think we need to fully understand it and that we will get lost if we read too much because there are differing opinions...

Do a search on here for cpap. There's been a couple threads dealing with needing a cpap. Reading those may help you formulate any additional questions you have to make sure you are covered since it's not something you can use less if the sun hasn't been so cooperative. I think maybe even...

Ahhh, finally made it back here.  It doesn't bother me to touch on my hormone issues, especially if having the subject here gets someone else to get checked out and taken care of sooner.  And if another woman has a question or a suggestion but doesn't want to ask/say publicly I'm open to PMs...

I wonder if there's a website or book called "batteries for dummies?" I've not run a search engine for it yet. SternWake has posted about the batteries in countless threads here, even dumbing it down in a few bless him, but my brain didn't think to save links to particular ones since they are...

I don't think your wording was off. Well, maybe, since I understood it. :P But, nah. Just struck my funny bone to read what HDR wrote and then I had to CYA my own butt just in case it was me. I'd say maybe HDR and I have been drinking the same water but there's a buncha miles that say otherwise...

Oh duh. Then again, ya never know. :P But really what a great idea! I wonder why nobody's ever suggested that to my daughter. She's got such thick hair that when it's long it makes summers miserable. I think I'll mention it. Thanks! :D Still for me, I need every hair I can get since I wasn't...

I'm so not touching that one! :P ROFLMAO!!!! I love the LOTRs references too! :D

When in travel mode wouldn't the suitcase panels be stored, so why would there need to be a hole for the cables? Wouldn't they just be tucked inside too? Then when in camp mode the cables could go through a window opened just a crack or more if wanted? I'm guessing the battery would be in the...

It got hot again today and I actually was debating on whether to wear a sundress or jeans and a shirt because I haven't shaved my pits in awhile. That got me angry because my comfort should come before whether someone will be offended by pit hair. I wore the D*** sundress. :D My arm and leg...

Batteries on roof? WHAAAAT?!?! :s Did I miss something? I've reread and still don't see them. :huh: I may need a nap. :D

KASibson, I think it's great that you're planning to take van camping trips with the wee one. I think family trips are one of the best things we can give our kids---especially camping. :)  Sounds like the minivan will improve your life in other ways too. I've never lived anywhere where public...

Is he old enough to remember her? :P  If not she's all over the internet right now because of her 76th birthday. The guy's photography work is very good. According the the written part the people in the article are actually living it not just for the shoot, but I agree the clothing looks...

Shoot. I'm lucky to have my ponder in working order sometimes. But, I don't know that even if it was working I'd figure out the direction of the prevailing winds in an area I was unfamiliar with. So, is there some rule or logic or something to help figure it out maybe? Your story about your...

Now I've got that song stuck in my head. Works out well because it replaced the other song I had stuck in my head so well that I don't remember what the other one was. :D If my mom hadn't been so fearful for her only child then I would have taken off in a van to explore the country when I was...

Thanks for all that HDR. :) Part of me is leaning toward the older chevys, but dang the mpg stuff really makes me take a step back. It sounds like for the older gas engine trucks/vans the mpgs are 6-8 at the midrange. Is that about right from what you've found? I really like that they are...

Before I forget or my internet drops. If y'all don't see me at some point it's the internet thing again. So ramble on, with or without me. :) It's been nice hanging out in here over the holiday weekend. I didn't figure anyone would be around. So, I'm grateful. :)

It stinks being stuck. If I didn't have to deal with house too, I think I'd almost just take off and have someone else sell everything for me just to have it over. I pick up the Truck Trader whenever I'm out and see one. Haven't tried Craigslist since don't have my own internet. I'd drive...

It's great you have a mechanic you can trust to at least get you underway. I used to have a great shop I went to but then the owner retired and things changed. I'll find out how much I trust my current guys when I take my car back in about the power steering.  Mechanics, plumbers, Misters...been...

I remember the slide ones! Because of the slow leak my uncle gave me a nice heavy brass dial one that's always been as accurate as is possible----agreeing with the gauges at the shop and with my air compressor, well allowing for adjustment for compressor being off a click. But if one checks...
