Welcome to the Van Living Forum Reel :) Sorry you got tagged. I used to work in sign shops and we had this problem a lot. We used to get cases of Graffiti remover spray cans. You spray it on liberally and wait a few seconds and then wipe the graffiti off. It works on many substances...

I was at the Library yesterday and got a chance to look thru A person turned it in and the circulation desk clerk explained to me that there were over 20 people on the waiting list to check it out. So while they were calling the next person to tell them the book was in and for them to come...

If you like reading, you may like storytelling around the campfire. I live in Appalachia and we are well known for the storytelling arts here. Short stories lend themselves well to this kind of crowd entertainment. Here is one group on Facebook: National Storytellers League Toastmasters...

I used to travel to Columbus, Ohio for the annual Pulp Fest book exhibition and buy some reprints to read. Fine storytelling in those old "dime fiction novels" from the earlier part of the 20th century. when there was little radio, no TV or Internet. People simply read for their...

Welcome to the VanLiving Forum Margo ! Plenty of good advise and company here to make your life on the road so much better.

When my Grandfolks were alive I had a small orchard of about 30 trees on their property . Not all of them apples but I found that by growing fruit I didn't have as much time and effort in growing vegetables in the garden. I could load up some fruit and go to the tail gate markets & farmers...

A lot of apples are grown where I live. Down below where I live is the Rome township of Lawrence County Ohio which was up until the end of the Korean conflict the fruit growing capital of the state of Ohio. A few miles below me is where the very first Rome or Rome Beauty apple was first...

Welcome to the Van Living Forum. It's a nice time of the year to be traveling, so I wish you safe journeys.

When I was a kid I had a down filled comforter that my great aunt had given me. It fit a full sized bed that I slept in. The biggest problem that I had with it was the nylon shell it was made of allowed it to keep slipping off the bed at night. It was very light and super warm. It...

If all they seem to want out there on the BLM is big "expensive" Class A's, I would be willing to bet that the RV industry is behind that with generous contributions to those who administrate over those areas. Even land developers and "Tower Builders" who leverage their wealth & position...

Welcome to the Van Living Forum Congratulations. :) I'd suggest you move on this as fast as possible. If I were doing this and not wanting to Nomad, I think I'd look for a small parcel of land and build a garage building the bus would fit into so that you could build an upstairs...

In my first rig which didn't have a high top roof, I moved around a lot on my knees. Of course I was a young guy right out of then and more limber. But moving around in a low top even then ......bent over at the waist got old quick. So my floor was covered with nylon indoor outdoor carpet that...

Welcome to the Van Living Forum Victor. Good advice has been offered to you here and experiences the members share with you will certainly be helpful. Your story takes me back to when I was starting out with my first van. I've documented that experience in the websites below if you would...

On the thought of Cowboy Coffee, I've camped with numerous family members in Texas and they boiled the coffee in those blue & white speckled enamelware coffee pots. Then added saved egg shells to the brewed coffee. As they said....to settle the grounds. Does it work ? Consider this...

Welcome to the Van Living Forum Etak :) You'll likely do just fine as hard winter isn't here yet. This time of year is a good time to take your first steps into nomad life. Let me invite you to check out the link at the bottom where there is information that may provide answers to...

^^^ Yes, if one "wants" that it is more than available with all the hookup sites and chat rooms on the interweb. I could produce a whole site just on that subject. Not only Seniors on the road, but even in Senior Living Centers. In 2001 Phoenix, AZ was having problems with it's Seniors...

Yeah, ons and hook up's are more kid stuff than anything else. Dr Herb Goldberg wrote a book explaining the perils divorced men have faced....even just single men for that matter. He saw so much of this happening with those he counseled in his practice that he decided to write this book...

You may want to look into the nature of "Sigma Males". (lone Wolf types) It may help you to identify the best type of woman for your personality type. You are at an age and with enough experience to see things more clearly now. ...........and the world is full of boats of all kinds. Lots of...

In my more recent visits to my Texas cousins, I was impressed by the number of heavier Pickup Trucks with Slide In's (campers) I spoke with a few who were driving 3/4 and 1 ton rigs with add on engine oil & transmission coolers mounted to the radiator. Some even towing fishing boats with...
