I currently have a 290 watt panel on the roof of my van, run to an epever 40a mppt controller then to two 6v batteries. It is often nice to camp where I can be in shade at least part of the day. I would like to be able to also use a suitcase panel that can be place where it will get sun. Are...

Montana is COLD today. It is a little cool here, -18. High today is supposed to get up to -11.

Last nights low was -23. Tonight supposed to get to -21. At the moment it is -3. Where? Central Montana.

I think the problem of the sides bowing in could be dealt with by adding "Ts" right below the the current mid length Ts and adding a cross piece right in the middle to go between the long sides. No storage space would be lost because anything coming or going from under the bed has to pass by the...

Montana here. What a great gathering. David

We are on our way, in Cedar City tonight. Marian is planning to do cornbread

I have never had occasion to use Love's Travel Stop for overnighting. Does anyone have experience with them. Specifically I am looking at the location in Cedar City, Utah. Also it appears that none of the WalMarts in Nevada allow overnighting. Is this correct? David

Thanks Marie and Wagoneer, guess we will give that a go. Looking forward to meeting everyone. David

Brian, In warmer weather and without snow I'd sure consider that but given current conditions I think it would be wise to not try getting in some place we might not get out of if the weather got worse. David

Thanks Bob, Actually the furnace does work. Problem is that when it is cold and the furnace runs a lot it sucks life out of the batteries. I do have the smaller Buddy (3000-9000??) and we do use that. One of my main concerns was finding a place to park along I-15. I have never been that route...

Thanks, that is what we will do. Google maps gives that route too. David

Thanks, I will bring along a couple and probably one or two bow staves to carve on. David

I'm David. My wife Marian and I have been together for 45 years. I'll turn 70 in less than a month. For the last six months I have been lurking and researching Bob's site and this forum along with Google. I gave up our VW Vanagon traveling van almost 10 years ago when it was in need of some...

I have not ordered anything recently but I have to agree with everyone, they are slower. And Masterplumber you are so right about "Smart Post" it would more accurate to call it "Dumb Inefficient Post". I have had those packages delayed by a week and more in our area of Montana.

Bob, Does the couple who use the hammocks have a blog or website where I might see how they manage that? David

Thanks for the advise Bob but I think we will probably be good. Prior to retiring we worked together doing medical transcription and for six of those years we weren't much more than arms length apart. Next July will be our 45th anniversary. We have spent 10 days in the old VW with a single...

Over the last year or so I have been feeling more and more like our possessions own us instead of the other way round. About 6 or 8 months ago I came across a you tube video of a young couple who pretty much sold everything and started living in a van and travelling. We used to have a VW Vanagon...

I think it looks like a GREAT movie. How can a movie with Maggie Smith not be good. She is one of my favorites. David

Ok, it is all relative to what you are used to. Right now outside my front door it is 16 degrees. Weather underground shows Quartzsite at 41, 25 degrees difference. 41 would seem warm. I am looking forward to being able to be down there next year. I think my old bones would love it. David

A few years ago we had cable TV. There was mostly junk that we didn't watch so I decided to go to an antenna. With the antenna I get the locals plus five public TV channels. With cable we had one public TV channel. I found plans for a diy antenna from Popular Mechanics...
