One of the questions asked was What needs to change to prevent people from having to become Nomads or to help them live better if they are? My answer to that is that I am happier traveling from place to place and seeing new and exciting things and meeting new people while still able to make a...

I just bought a single axle 6x12 enclosed trailer and will be bringing my tools, motorcycle' extra parts (transmission, etc) behind a 91 gmc g2500 vandura.I plan on traveling starting in early May and will keep the trailer stored at my daughters apartment complex in Michigan over the summer...

Used an electric jig saw for everything. You could probably just use a hand saw. Took less than a day to do it.

Just finished up removing old osb and carpet in my 91 GMC Vandura and put in wood laminate.

It will be ok for the next few months but come April watch out. It gets frickin hot and humid here. U could run a generator with a portable ac unit, but will for sure attract attention. I don't know about orlando, but here in Tampa the rv parks and hotels try to make it hard for us vandwellers...

This is why I'm leaving FL. It's too damn hot for my dog. I know there will be days in San Diego that it will be too hot for my dog while I'm working and will need to pay for doggie daycare. But will be a lot less days than here in FL. Anyway, I can't see anyone full timing here in FL with pets...

I've been a lpn since 2010, but finally went back to get RN since my daughter moved out to go to college and now I can focus on school. I wish I would have done this 20 years ago. On well better late than never. I've never been out west, but watching all the stories on YouTube has got me excited...

Finally got approved for Stafford loans for LPN to RN transition program here in FL. I had to pay prerequites out of my own pocket over the past year and was accepted into the program in May. I have been jumping through a lot of hoops but finally looks like I'm going to start the program august...

Yep know the place.  I was stationed at Little Creek base in 93-94. Man miss va beach for sure. Make sure you get philly roast beef and ice cream at the purple cow. I know the boardwalk has changed alot since then, but remember there was a haunted house right off the main drag. One of the best...

Well I'm sitting in planet fitness parking lot eating dinner and I here a loud thud and look over to see the car parked next to me with their door hitting passenger door of my van. I say hey did you know you hit my door and this early 20's guy says he didnt hit it. Well I get out and go look and...

Well I bought the king jack and replaced the winegard. Now i get a lot more channels but still no nbc or metv. At least now I get abc, cbs, thistv and a feq others I didnt get before. Here is link to the king jack. https://kingconnect.com/product/king-jack-replacement-head/

I currently have the winegard antenna, but only get 4 channels. When I was closer to Tampa I use to get 15-20 channels. Is there a better antenna? My neighbor swears by the king jack, since he had one on his sailboat. Eventually i plan on getting dish tailgater after I finish school.

Here is Oliver a 6 year old black lab mix. He will be traveling to California with me next year after I graduate.

Another perfect weather night last night at walmart. Man I haven't felt this refreshed in years. I don't work tomorrow so I will be headed back home to sleep in the house after work tonight. Not sure if I want to go back. I would rather just stay in the van until I work again which would be...

Weather was perfect and no noise since I was parked in the very back of walmart. Also I have the blackout curtains so the lights don't bother me. Last thing I need to do is mount the 255w solar panel and 2 6v Trojan batteries for the 12v fridge/freezer and 32" led tv then life will be perfect.

I've slept in the van a couple times already but last night I decided to drive from our house to close to work at a Walmart since I have to be there early in the morning. Anyway I opened the vent and turned on the fan to blow in cool air. The vent fan is hooked up to a marine deep cycle battery...

No problem. I guess I'll have to wait until I actually move to Cali, but won't be until 2019 since I will be attending RN school here in FL until the summer of 2018. Oh well, I just wanted to hang out with some fellow van dwellers since there isn't many in hot florida.

I want to attend RTRthis January and can get time we off of work, but need a ride from and to the closest airport. I would take the van, but trying to keep from putting all those miles on it. I plan on driving out west this summer when it's warmer to visit the Grand Canyon, Vegas, Yellowstone...

Finally cooling down here in FL. Anyway, getting closer to my dream of traveling the US. I think I'm going to go to RTR in January and San Diego for a week and probably Vegas. I'll be bringing my dog and hope to meetup with some of the folks here. Anyway the Vandura has now entered the 21st...

Anyone have dimensions where to cut 14" square for maxxair fan vent in 91 Vandura?
