I have accounts at Chase and Wells Fargo. I am rarely more than 30 minutes from a branch. You may find this list helpful. https://www.bankrate.com/banking/most-popular-bank-in-each-state/

I have business and professional licenses that require a bona fide address. Here are some solutions that could be used by nomads. One option is to use a co working space. There are companies (eg. Regus, WeWork, Spaces) that master lease large swaths of space in commercial buildings and...

Can you post the link so that we can see the context surrounding the paragraph?

Yuck! The thought of wiping off my body with visibly dirty water is disgusting. Keeping clean isn't a waste of water in my book. That sounds miserable! Using 3 gals in a week works out to about half a gallon per day. I described how I use a Geyser, but I understand not everyone can carry a...

Boondocking and citydocking have some fundamental differences. At its core, the former is about being self sufficient, the latter having readily available resources is more about convenience. At many of the places you will be spending time you will have access to shore power. This is a much...

The challenges with showering in vehicle are water storage, water heating, water disposal, and use of space. In most DIY van builds, this results in compromises that make showering a hassle because of the setup and takedown. Still, showering is very important to me so I’m always interested in...

Another option is to lay 1/2 rigid foam board across the metal floor and 1/2 plywood on top of that. In addition to its insulating qualities, foam board is a vapor barrier and provides sound deadening. If there’s a chance you’ll appreciate the utility of being able to reinstall the seats on...

It's not enough money to hire a builder to create an HGTV worthy tiny home. If you're flexible about location, it is enough to buy a fixer upper on a few acres with utilities and zoning already in place. Plus, you'll have somewhere to park your truck and trailer when you're not traveling! Do it...

Did you tell the financial advisor that your “housing” was an RV? An RV is a vehicle not a house. And it's not financially wise to spend money on vehicles in lieu of housing. Sometimes other factors are more important than doing what's financially prudent. Like someone with a defined lifespan...

That would be a financially foolish move. Living well with an impairment requires knowing when to ask for help. I venture to say it's clear to everyone following this thread, that you need professional guidance. Please get help.

KISS: You cannot afford the lifestyle you want. Period. The truck is an anchor and it will slowly drown you. Add a travel trailer and you'll speed up the process. In your initial post, you explained your situation and asked for advice. Several folks replied advising that your plan was ill...

EcoFlow typically has 2-3 big sales events a year where they offer products at a deep discount. They are having a flash sale for the next 10 hours on the Delta 1300 for $750. At this price, there is nothing of comparable size except a couple of Chinese brands. The Delta 1300 is one of their 1st...

Another option is to use magnets. There is OEM plastic moulding surrounding my windows. I glued magnets around the edges of it to serve as attachment points for the magnets sewn in my window covers. In your case, one set of magnets is glued to the foam insulation, the other to your window frame...

Look into EcoFlow power stations. In general, they are better than Bluetti. The company has occasional sales events where their products are deeply discounted (like 20-30% off). They just ended a flash sale where a couple of models were 50% off. Get on their email list or join their Facebook...

I use 24 x 72 foam 6" thick for my coach and a true mattress in narrow twin size for my bed. Both were less than $100. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VNBH1HQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1...

It boils down to balancing two factors: comfort vs planning. The bigger the rig, the more comfortable to live out of. But the bigger the rig, the more planning required (including restrictions) related to parking and driving. Is it possible to stay in and around an urban area for weeks on end...

There are several ways to do an electrical system. The simplest way is to buy a power station and plug everything into it. These units combine all the components (inverter, battery, charge controller, outlets, fuses, wiring etc.) of an electrical system in a compact, portable package. Many...

So to summarize: you're coming into a windfall, and you're going to blow it on buying toys. And what you're seeking advice on is what kind of toys to buy.

Yep. It is not cheap. But neither is the Wave. I value the convenience and safety of using the vehicle tank as the heater's fuel source. I have a diesel heater because my vehicle uses diesel. If I had a Promaster or Transit, I would go with the Webasto.
