    Delete A/C , microwave from new travel trailer?

    Air tv antenna is great for a directional cell antenna and save you from buying a $300-500 weboost with the right hotspot. A roof AC is handy for times of exhaustion in peak weather. For example if you do the NM state parks for $4 you can get an electric site and run AC for a week or month...

    If You Tow Or Want To Tow

    I think the owner was just going along for a laugh especially if you told him your 2500 cant quit tow 3,000lbs. ...that means a large 5th wheel would literally need a freightliner

    small trail bike

    Small trail bike - TTR-125 big wheel or any of the 140-160 4 strokes. BUT my choice would be the might KLX 250 because its a true dual sport and can be tagged. Whole lot of trail bike but wprth it and holds resale very well.

    Hurricane Irma survivor is (finally!) escaping Miami and becoming a nomad

    Great advice here. Dont self-sabotage by biting more than you can chew. You dont actually NEED much. You can make it comfortable later.

    LTVA - Black Tank Question

    Thats good to know because its outright discrimination otherwise. It boils the use of LTVA to class C/A.

    Savings Goals and Plans

    And no its not really personal. Theres a base standard for all due to stay limits. We dont have to move generally 14 days. We all generally need the same nutrition, mpg is generally the same...or certainly not a 10x difference.

    Savings Goals and Plans

    Thats hard to buy because theres plenty of threads over the years of people asking if their $1200 SS check will be enough. Most say doubtful...LMAO its just moving the goal post from living in a vehicle to travelling full time. The entire point of this website from the start is about people in...

    22-foot 1992 Chevy Cobra Seven Seas TRANSMISSION

    They used them in full size trucks and vans 88-92. Its probablly why it has the issues.

    Savings Goals and Plans

    Well many, most frankly of overspend substantially. To the point of jaw dropping. For example insurance on an RV is $10-12 a month. Tires can be bought and online or used for very cheap. Mine were $66 new from pep boys. Changing a tire by hand is pretty easy, especially van tires with large...

    Never used a portable washing machine? Come on in

    I literally just did a load. Same machine (bunch of brands on amazon). I ran it off 400w inverter with 8" fan and tv going. It makes nearly nondent in batteries. On top of that it does a hell of a job. I built a little platform for it with a drain basin underneath. I store my soap and whatnot...

    120v Fridge Questions

    I urge all newbs to NOT buy expensive batteries because its so easy to sulfate them within 6 months. I use and can verify the walmart valuepower batteries @ $55 each after core (price prolly vary in your area) are a good route for a beginner. Its hard to fully charge on limited sunlight because...
