It's more a case of being comfortable around electricity to the point of complacency. I used to buy stuff from an electrical wholesaler where the wires on the ceiling lights had simply been stripped and stuck into wall outlets without covers on them. They were electricians and they sold the...

My first experience with 'house' power in my car, about a dozen years ago, was a charged deep cycle battery sitting on the floor in the back seat. There were outlets attached with clamps so I could plug in some lights, a fan and a radio. Sometimes I would top up the charge with booster cables...

That's why I posted it.

Maki2 - Did you read the post, or just look at the video?

This video is full of camping accessories that are at least cleaver, if nothing else. Not only are these the kind of things you didn't know you were were looking for, you'll probably be surprised that anyone was looking for for. But, like I said, most of them are very clever. In many cases...

I haven't taken advantage of it yet but, membership in my local seniors center (over 50) is $30. Some activities have additional fees, but the access to the facility and many activities don't.

Not to confuse the issue, you might want to look at the Ford Transit Connect and the Ram Pro Master City. They are both much smaller than other Pro Masters and Transits but roomier than a mini van.

I have about 30 square feet of space in my car.. When I move from the sleeping part to the sitting part, I can either sit on my clothes or get dressed.

Yes, but in this world of changing technology, should I buy Will's 7 year old book or is there a 1-2 year old book that would be more useful?

I like books. I also get a lot from Will, Nate and others on You Tube. In light of the many changes in technology in the past few years, especially in batteries, what book should I buy? The 7 year old book by Will Prowse comes highly recommended. There are many 1-2 year old books which look...

Guilty. I think I saw and see it as a comment on another way to make coffee. We seem to have many of them. I'm quite fond of being able to prepare everything the night before and just press the button as I get out of bed. By the time I take care of nature's demands, dress and brush my teeth...

For several years I have been using a 12 volt drip coffee maker I picked up at a truck stop. I'm not full-time, but I like the idea of being able to stop and make coffee any time, any where. It doesn't use many watts, but it takes a lot of minutes. Then it died when I was camping. The...

Put a very large, double dog dish on the ground by the front door with a bit of water in one side and a few crumbs in the other.

I bought a hammer crimper this week. It's so much better than just a hammer.

Since a deer collision was mentioned; I saw this recently. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/f9fQrixQAdQQbn4e/

My retirement started when I stopped to let an ambulance, with lights and siren on, into an intersection. The guy with the SUV and large camper trailer behind me didn't stop until I was in the middle of the intersection. After I had used up all unemployment and sick benefits, I qualified for...

I have often spent a night parked with or near the people working graveyard shift at a large grocery store. The stores are closed but there are usually about a dozen cars parked to one side. I once got a knock on the door from a cop. I was in a roadside rest area on a remote section of...

I bought the KIA Sportage in 2017 after my Honda Civic and my brain were wrecked in a rear end collision. It has a CD player. A burned a CD with 12 Grateful Dead songs on it. I'm still listing to it. When asked how I can listen to the same songs over and over again I tell people the...

I just ordered 8 plastic containers, in 3 sizes, with movable dividers in them. I'm going to take a small sample of my LEGO collection with me.
