AT&T offers a home wireless internet service, they now even couple it with direct tv.  Anyone use it?  You do need to be in a strong service area and be able to plug in their modem to 110v I want more than a cell phone signal, I want to use it for multiple wireless devices without using my...

Well, things may be changing BIG time soon!  My lovely bride of 42 years was informed today that she will not be offered a contract for employment next year.  We had been talking about her leaving, the employer has severe financial issues (not for profit education) due to the local public...

Just a heads up if you are in the NE specifically the northern Philly area.  There is a connecting highway from the NJ Turnpike to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.  It appears that the heavily used bridge has suffered a crippling crack!  Plan alternate routes people...

I was reading a post by a member here saying his unit lacks power and brakes poorly.  This got me to thinking...... Those of us living in Brick and Mortar tend to "collect" stuff and keep items we no longer need or maybe some day might need...... but we rarely do.  Once members shed their...

Doesn't matter if you like the iPhone or not...... Irrelevant. But I've been running an iPhone 5 for years.  It still works well but has "quirks". It will dial someone on my car bluetooth for no apparent reason! There are other quirks but it has a small memory and I've been running a small data...

When I retire, I don't see myself being a full time Van Dweller.  I do however see myself as being an extended time period Van Dweller.  I don't see myself and my Wife as being the type to totally let go of a Home Base and all of the stuff that comes with a bricks and mortar home.  We have...

Well,  Winter is moving in to the NorthEast. Leaves are turning and dropping off at an amazing speed!  We've had our first frost and know full well that Snow can't be far behind.  I purchased a small home in Pennsylvania, not far from my youngest Daughter as our retirement base...

I've been reading this forum with interest.  Recently someone posed the "what if" question, about being given land. (Personally I'd rent it for a monthly income)  This got me to wondering how many of you "full timers" actually have a home base?  Something you own, an apartment at a child's...

As you may know, I picked up an 03 Dodge with a fiberglass conversion top on it.  The clear coat on it has been flaking off and there is also some fiberglass damage that needs some repairs.  I need to paint the top but I'm not crazy about again matching the Vans dark maroon color it currently...

As the title says, I love this site.   Yes, the title is all capitals and I WAS indeed shouting the phrase.  I'm still new here, only a week or so, but I've felt accepted and encouraged here, ideas are shared and compliments are given.  My plan of doing a Class B build out from an old...

Hey All!  Yeah, I know, I'm new and posting lots of thoughts and questions. But...... I am building a Class B camper from a Dodge LWB conversion Van. I've been thinking about a Class B Van shower.  Vans are small...... Showers that you can actually fit your body into are BIG.  Typical RV...

Hey all!  I am converting a Dodge conversion van into a Class B camper.  To do this I need parts..... Under chassis Propane tank Propane heater Swivel seat bases Opening door windows Etc etc etc While I am willing to purchase new, everyone loves a smoking deal on used!  Trouble is I cannot...

Well, I'm new here folks!  I posted in the newbie thread already introducing myself and my Van.  Let's recap..... My name is Dave, an aging but not yet old baby boomer happily married to my High School Sweet Heart since 1975. Two Daughters, Seven Grandchildren (the oldest daughter got carried...

I've recently acquired a 2003 Dodge LWB Conversion Van which I will be converting to what will be in essence a rolling hotel/guest room. I've no need for a dining table that converts to a bed so I'll simply be making a sleeping platform in the rear with storage underneath via drawers or...

Hi All! Newbie in New Jersey! I just purchased a 2003 Dodge Conversion Van. We paid $2,500 for it which seems like a good price for a decent low mileage driver. It is the Long Wheel Base with a fiberglass hardtop on it. 5.2 Auto trans, Cruise Control ABS, Air Bags. It has 103,000 on it and...
