    Some will consider this as BLASPHEMY, but we sold our Express van. We now have a 2018 Dodge Ram Promaster! It is the 3500, ext wb, 159 inch model... So I guess this will be the final post for this thread. Not sure if I'm gonna post another build thread or whatever... Thank you all for...

    Another update... We have just now moved into a one bedroom apartment. The van life thing is cool, but as a couple of old phatt, oversized, plus version crumeguions with a princess doggie, the van can be very cramped... The king sized bed is awesumm and allowed us a huge degree of comfort...

    "Unlimited" for $40/month for unlocked iPhones

    Here's a thought... My freebie Verzion Samsung phone offers a Bluetooth tethering option that I found to be more useful than the hotspot option. By that I mean, that it was used more often and worked very well for me over the last three weeks. I would have to go into settings and turn it back...

    Senior 55+ Verizon Unlimited

    We also bought a phone and mifi from Verizon, to add to our T-Mobile coverages. The phone and mifi may end up going away soon, as we have moved back into an apartment. I must say we had better coverages on the vzw devices... BUT... The only hold back to doing a total switch over is that we...

    An Update... Well, a lot has happened since mid June! We sold our house and are living full time out of the van. We have some issues, but the build has been real solid. In reality, this van would be perfection for a solo dweller, but it really tight for a couple with a small princess like...

    Mifi rescue plan...

    Just a quick update... It’s still working and still works when our t-mo does not... We even broke down and purchased another 4g mifi from VZW and added a cheap phone for total unlimited an additional 90 bucks per month. The 3g can get a three bar signal when NONE of the others will... Until...

    Mifi rescue plan...

    I have a vzw 4510l mifi that still seems to work, but for how long, right? I thought about going over to the Verizon store and see what they could do for it, like a reboot, reflash or trash, etc..... Your thoughts would be most appreciated...

    Interesting mod for a jeep. JXL

    Me? I don't have a jeep... That would be fun if I did... But, I do have a express van, and I'd bet that pop top could be made to fit my van...??? Looks like I could make it work? I know, five grand for a glass hi top, yadda, yadda...

    Where and what brand solar panel did you buy

    I bought the Renogy premium 200w kit via Amazon. So far, I'm loving the kit, with no issues or complaints. I am deeply concerned however with the way a simple conversation on this forum can so often become a bashing. Sometimes a comment is given, and someone takes issue, then all hell breaks...

    DIY: Mini Solar 'generator'

    I also made one, but it kinda smaller capacity, 15ah or so... Luv it! I also luv how your waterproofing is actually a weather station! If it's dry, it's probably sunny and warm. If it's wet, it's raining. If it's white, it's snowing. If it's rolling, the winds are extremely high, seek...

    Last month, I mentioned I was building a list, sort of "To Do's" etc... I have knocked a few things out, but nothing too serious. Lol! Not on the list was my Gps mount, which used a kind of sticky tape to attach to the dash. Last trip out it just kinda melted down. Looked so sad... Well, I...
