    5X8 enclosed cargo trailer? or?

    Good the here. Hard part for me is I am more of an East coast dweller so rain is a big thing, especially if you like camping in WV like I do. The heat is a big issue for me as well but so far so good there. Yeah, I could walk into the woods and never talk to anyone again and be very happy and...

    5X8 enclosed cargo trailer? or?

    That's pretty crazy cool. The big thing is rainy days where I cant sit/stand/pace outside. I could mod the 4Runner, but probably not worth it since its tall already and adding height still wont allow me to stand and walk around. I also have second thoughts about a roof top tent because i cant...

    5X8 enclosed cargo trailer? or?

    A Van would be perfect for me, been contemplating one for a long time. But I purchased a 4Runner for my off road adventures. I think i may have to go Van if i do this full time. Its just so much more practical and versatile. But i love my 4Runner.

    RVers Please stop

    Reminds me of the nine most terrifying words in the English language: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.

    RVers Please stop

    Curious. Have you tried to talk/befriend them? Maybe explain and help teach them? Not everyone has a broad understanding of right and wrong. I have always tried to do the right thing while seeing so many do wrong, and yet somehow I get punished... Its infuriating and discouraging.

    "America the beautiful" pass. worth it for me?

    BLM land is huge, like 245 million acres. But yes, you cant just drive and park anywhere. Check local laws too, you could go to jail for sleeping in your vehicle.

    what's the futur for gasoline van/RV/camper

    Well an electric Van that can charge wirelessly and run AC/Heat off grid for serval days would be incredibly awesome. But even by 2040 gas cars will still be around and used. I don't think these country's with there deadlines understand what is really needed to go full electric. Gas vehicles...

    "America the beautiful" pass. worth it for me?

    Its for access to National parks at no charge or a discount. Should list everything you need to know in that link. I got one this year and it was basically a wash. Free admittance to Shenandoah both times I passed through and i did it at the initial entrance where they would charge to get in...

    Driverless Cars & No Car Ownership in near future

    I traveled for the most part of Covid lock down unhindered on the East coast. I got to see states with crazy mandates to noting at all, it was an Epic adventure and I felt truly free. Yet I knew if I slept in my car in some places I could get arrested, fined or whatnot. In the recent...

    Slime in my drinking water!! FROM WHAT???

    I always bleach my jugs now and then to prevent this. Cant just keep filling the same jug over and over and never clean it. Some water is "clean" because of chemicals, some water is "safe to drink" but has things in it that over time can make mold and slime.

    Tablet to TV

    From my understanding MHL HDMI adapters are not compatible with the Galaxy Tab A. It seems they are pushing towards chrome casting over WiFi which wont really work well for us on to go tethering people. Do you have a smart phone? Those usually have the capability since the screens are small. I...

    The Forum is Being Sold to Group Builder

    Just realized this is "Bobs" first post since 2019 and only 2 posts that year. Definitely better that he sold.

    Van or tent?

    As with everything in life layers of preparedness is key. A tent is just fine, but what if you move around a lot and don't want the tent take down and pack up burden every time. What if you are "living the rest of your days" and want a real bed, sink, stove, tv, fridge/freezer, warmth and above...

    You can edit your account email and whatnot. But to delete all your posts does cause a disruption in the flow of threads and discussions. Its why some forums prevent editing of threads after a specific time frame. Generally anything posted becomes the forums property.
