Welcome, Lerca. Verizon is really one of the best providers from my experience. If you can use your current phone as a hotspot, depending on your plan, you should be fine on the road. If not, check the threads for Visible, also by Verizon, which is unlimited text, talk and streaming for 40.00...

Argh, I will be out in TN/KY area just before then. Hmmm. Do you know anything about the cell signal strength for Verizon up there? I'd have to work during the day, so that would be a key point. Since you guys will arrive before I'd depart, I'll keep an eye on this to see if there is signal...

Ah, then I am probably going too far south for you, heading to FL in November, passing through NC, SC, GA and then into middle FL. But let me know if that's not too far south for ya. Rig thread

I believe I solved my engine problems by researching and reaching out to all of the males and one ex parts person female I know to verify info. We'll see how it goes! Apparently the head gasket was either leaking or had blown. I treated it with Bar's Head gasket repair after talking to someone...

i'm in for next year now that I have a rig!! And if anyone is heading south down the 95 corridor let me know. I'm doing some east-west travel in October, but will be heading south in November for a few weeks and would love some experienced boondocking companions.

That toaster is cool. I may have something similar but bigger tucked in my camping gear. Now I have to go on a digging expedition...

Welcome! I second eDJ - get some white on that roof! I'm a relocated FL native - it's hot there; however, most always a good breeze. Park in the shade and open up, if you can handle interior temps of 85-90 you should be okay. Hydrate :)

I wish I could get by with just a 100W panel.  By my reckoning, I'm consuming about 400-800 watts a day with work computer, person computer, charging cell phone, headsets and running a fan.  My personal laptop is very old, so it's a power hog.  The work laptop only has to charge for about 4...

That's very snazzy too!  About the only place I'd have a vertical mount would be on the storage box in the back.  I need a second job for all of these cool things out there, lol.   Thank you, re: the van.  It appears to have some engine trouble, so I'll know next week how good of a 'deal' it...

I purchased my van, already converted, for under 5K.  However, if the engine problems turn out to be pricey, that could push me over the edge. That's what I meant :)

Wow, just, wow. Y'all are quite amazing - I can't even take a good shot of the moon. But my other stuff comes out all right :) Oh, and welcome Mike! I got distracted by the National Geographic stuff from Elbear1.

The only food that has ever sickened me was from a restaurant - striped sea bass.  Otherwise I eat canned fish nearly daily and usually at minimum 3 times a week. But I promise not to hold you down and force feed you Mackerel :)  It does have a stronger taste, although less strong than sardines...

Still trying to fathom powdered eggs sans cooking... are you making shakes with them?? If you don't want to cook, but want a hot soup or such, you can put it in the dash of your vehicle just to get it warm. But sounds like you're more into raw foods rather than canned and cooked stuff...

I got my already converted van for less than that - but it seems to have some engine troubles. Ask me next week if it still falls under that price range :)

I've been wondering about that, considering my solar panels are all portable, and if I'll have to lug them back into the van every night like I am doing now. I guess I could look at it as my on-the-road gym membership, but it would be nice to think I could just leave them set up when...

Welcome! I think you got my patience genes, lol! I'm trying to figure out how to grow greens instead of just sprouts, when I get on the road. So far I've not come up with a good, functional idea yet, but I'm hammering away at it. Hot tub, hmmm. That would sure beat the wipes method of...

SheketEchad is Hebrew for Quiet One. I tend to be pretty quiet in person until I get to know the environment or person(s). It doesn't slow me down from typing a lot though :)

Not sure of the temps where you are currently, but a few water bottles on the dash makes for plenty of hot water for me for bathing. That would eliminate the wait time for hot water, unless you need it scalding hot :) Got a link to 'bubble foil'? That's new to me and sounds like it could be...

Welcome! You have a beautiful country to van around in, and y'all have more free park ups and stuff like that. It should be a wonderful experience. Looking forward to hearing about your plans and adventures.

What a crazy awesome build! The wood work/stain/paint you did looks sharp for the space. Now I understand how you have so much real estate for the solar, criminy! Really unique, your Quasimodo - and I hope the hand is healing quickly and y'all are back on the road again. Can't wait to see the...
