It's always been held in January, ever since it started, since that is the month with the big RV show and the heaviest population in Quartzsite. There are other regular and semi-regular van builds going. You'll just have to keep your ears to the ground. I despise FB too, but the simple fact is...

Yup, it's been posted many times here before, but it's always good to remind folks that it's out there. I've also seen variations of it, one for 80 degrees...

I've noticed this as well. It often looks to me like some publishers just let the spell check run amok. Very simple mistakes that a human would catch.

Me two. But we seem to be in the distinct minority!

On another forum I follow, which is explicitly political and can get VERY hot, I tend to replace the original with something like "Sorry, on second thought, what I said was pretty dumb". So far, that has worked to not trigger a bunch of cascading deletions.

Game of Thrones is a dense series, lots of back stories and side trips. I am as dedicated a reader as anyone, and I could only make it partway through the third book. Don't feel bad! Lots of books in the world, you're never going to read them all no matter what you do. So just read something...

Whether one is better than the other depends entirely on how you like to travel. There is no such thing as the one best vehicle for everything. I like my individually and inexpensively adapted van better than a commercial RV because I don't want to pay for fancy "house-like" systems. My van is...

I am really sorry you won't be able to travel for the foreseeable future. But your first priority must be your health! And there is nature everywhere... Here's a book I loved - if you are a reader, you might love it too -...

???? Not totally sure what you are asking, but the big difference to me is that my cargo van is considerably smaller than Jason's Class A! But my van is also larger than Mary's Cube. Otherwise, we all boondock and deal with much the same issues. What vehicle do you have?

I've often contemplated adding a fold-up shelf to the outside of my van. I don't like the idea of cooking inside either, the steam and grease spatters are not appealing. It would be easy for me to just cart my portable stove outside. As much as I have valued my CLAM. I am thinking of ways to...

I think acting bored is one of the best ways to get someone to stop bugging you...

I've considered air tags too. Where would you put one that a half-way knowledgeable thief wouldn't look, either when they were taking the car or when they get it to their (chop) shop? Maybe use three air tags?

All I can tell you is what the cop told me - many thieves PREFER older vehicles because they are easier to get into and get started. The thief who stole mine used a small pry bar to open the passenger door and a battery-operated saw of some kind to cut off the ignition housing. Probably took a...

I thought about a "hidden" switch. The problem is that pro car thieves know about them too. And know where to look for them. Just where can you hide a "hidden" switch that is handy TO YOU when you go to start your car? I'm not keen on hiding a switch in a spot where I have to move things or pop...

Yes, it would be worth it. As the victim of the Great Van Heist of 2021, the theft of my 20-year-old van cost me far more than $700, even though the van was found not chopped up. (I had the money, but I still resent being forced to pay...) Thanks for posting this.

That's way too complicated and requires way too much management for me!

If I have the choice - and sometimes I don't - I like to park my van facing west, which means that my head is in the north (my bed is crossways) and I have a view to the east when the sun comes up. But really, it doesn't matter to me all that much. My ability to sleep is affected much more by...

Depends a lot on what you want to cook. But if all you want to cook is hot water or hot soup, you might like this - https://www.amazon.com/balbali-Travel-Kettle-Electric-Preset/dp/B0BFPBRQLL/ref=sr_1_1? It's a little spendy, but I like being able to set the temperature. You can get similar...

Amazon sells tri-fold matttresses. The 6" twin runs $120. I slept on one for 3 years until I upgraded.

Yup - such as moving to where you like the weather better.
