Pretty much my list, except I'd throw in a library. Could be a small branch that is only open a couple days a week though. I don't NEED a library, but I am just really happy hanging out in them! Also, a town pool would be nice. Not that I actually swim...

You'll see a lot of them on the Columbia! But you're right, most western rivers are too small and/or too rocky for that kind of traffic.

Yes. And they will forward your mail to wherever you are.

Oregon has always had the cheapest gas prices on the west coast. No mystery - they have the lowest tax rate at the pump!

It's possible that your small local bank belongs to some kind of wider network that would allow you fee-free ATM withdrawals. Ask them. Or just use your debit card for cash back. There's usually a limit on how much you can withdraw this way. Just go to more stores! I've belonged to the same...

I use the "no tents" criterion to find RV parks that are likely to accept my cargo van - just run it backwards. Call up an RV park and ask them if they accept tents. IME, if they accept tents they will also accept the vehicle that brings the tent.

The credit union you already belong to may belong to a network of other credit unions where you can do in-person banking just as if you were visiting your own home branch. Mine does. Call yours up and ask.

Agree, but please note - Chrome has not (yet) changed vehicles. He just keeps improving the one he started out with. Which was definitely bare bones when he started. He has done it pay-as-you-go and learn-as-you-live.

Yes, I took a hugely deep breath when I bought the Renogy. The deciding factor for me was weight. My van has a V-6 engine... I have to say I am VERY pleased with it. It just works.

I have a 200 ah Renogy battery with bluetooth. The bluetooth function tells me that right now my battery level is at 91.8%. It also tells me that my present capacity is 183.6 ah, present voltage is 13.2v, present current is 8.8a (my fan is running, the refer is currently not), and the cell...

My LiFePo battery has a bluetooth function that lets me know. Also, I believe my MPPV controller would tell me - if I could figure out how to read it!

Thanks Ben. I hope so too. The doc is talking about relerasing him on Tuesday, but while that is a step forward, it won't mean I can leave. The doc is telling him he can no longer drive, which means I will have to help teach him how to use the bus and other means of getting around. He actually...

I can clean the essentials with about 6 ounces of water, a wash cloth, and a no-rinse-needed body wash. Usually every other day. My (shortish) hair requires about 2 quarts - a cup or so to get it wet enough to shampoo, the rest to rinse it out. I use a leave-in conditioner, and I only NEED to...

Thanks for posting this! Will you be attending? I'd enjoy meeting you IRL.

Alas, I am now back in Anaheim, trying to run interference for my brother who can't do it for himself. He was taken to the hospital about a week ago, having an emotional breakdown. So I am spending my nights in his apartment parking lot, and my days at a neighborhood park. This is entirely too...

Yup. Never be without one of those gadgets. They're not all that expensive either.

Yeah, I've been doing the memory lane thing too... Been listening to her ever since I started listening to music, about 1962. My favorite? It's Tina and Mick. Not the best music either one of them ever made, but the most sheer fun. I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it. Story of my...

Politics on www.city-data.com/forum I am considerably more liberal than most of the posters there...

Many of us think that's the best way to do it in the first place! Unless you've spent a fair amount of time traveling and camping in your vehicle, how will you know what you want? Just because something works great for ME doesn't mean it will work great for YOU. The only thing you really NEED...

You can put anything that will fit into your minivan, and no one here will even say "boo". It's your van. All you need to do is add up the electrical demand of the items you want to use (this info will be found on the product specs), make sure you have the battery capacity to support that use...
