    Van Aid needs a New Lead

    Jason Simonds, RVNaught on this forum, is looking for someone to take over Van Aid. I am certain there are a few people here that would be strong contenders. It is a lot of work, to make it work well you need a good informal team - also something this forum can support. EDIT: The link is...

    Colorado ACLU Camping Ban Lawsuit Progresses

    In a lawsuit addressing homeless camping in the City of Boulder a State District Judge has turned a motion to dismiss. Although this case addresses stereotypical homelessness there is substantial legal issue overlap, more so if you’ve ever stealth camped in a developed area. Technically any...

    Issues with HOWA

    My brainstorm suggestion on another thread that HOWA consider becoming a membership organization has been portrayed by a few as some hidden agenda malicious thing. As such I’ll point out here the issues as I understand them generally, as well as my own specific concerns. The most general of...

    Should HOWA be a Membership Organization?

    With the conclusion of another successful RTR focused on providing newcomers valuable information I’d like to ask if HOWA should be doing more than that. The simplest answer to that question is yes, but exactly what it should be is a matter of debate. As a leadership community organization it...

    Two controllers, Two Panels, One Battery

    I’m doing the final tweaks on my new 280ah Luyuang build, adding a second panel on a second controller.   It was working fine yesterday when the vehicle was parked under the carport and only the smaller panel was receiving sun.  Today I moved out into the open and only the larger panel is...

    Alibaba.com LiFePo4 Experience

    I’m just finishing off an Alibaba.com sourced 280 ah LiFePo4 battery.   Will Prowse’s Diysolar forum is a great resource, but there is a lot of noise.  What follows are my conclusions and actions.  I’d verify for myself on that site for current conditions.   A lot of people are buying very...

    NomadLand Premiere

    No word if there will be camping, but it would be very appropriate to ask.   Due the cancellation the Telluride (Colorado)  Film Festival will do a drive in showing in Los Angeles September 11.  ...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    I am thinking we are going to be seeing a LOT of people making the transition to the full time life as they lose jobs and housing - descending into areas that have lost much of their traditional tourist economy.   This could be a good thing.

    $5 Unlimited Modem $45 for 15 gb

    Verizon has a current promotion that doubles the data on their $45 plan, for a total of 15gb.  I just switched over my old $5 unlimited 6620 modem.  It did take a hard reset of the hotspot to restore the original programming, a new SIM card, and 3 hours of phone time to figure it out.  I’d...

    Best Tether/Wifi Cellular Solution?

    I'm a current tracfone user.  I'd like to upgrade my service to have a decent amount of hotspot data. I've tried the PC's 4 People hot spot service but the coverage for that is very limited, and it looks like I lost the hotspot in the interim anyway. Best I've found is Cricket, an ATT MVNO, at...

    Rules for Larger, Semi-Formal, Groups?

    If we are doing groups approaching  75 it seems some sort of semi-formal rules are in order - if only just to make sure the group stays below 75.   A simple registration with Id and plate seems prudent. Bob’s rules from the RTR should apply. A basic liability policy would be a good idea, and...

    Telluride Fall Colors - September 24-30.

    Telluride can be a difficult place to visit, it is rightfully popular - mostly through word of mouth in middle income brackets - and has the usual popular area boondocking issues.  The new Mary E. Campground in nearby Ilium at 8000 feet improves camping a bit.  Fall Colors is a good time to...
