    Looks like stuck with the old kia sportage.

    Looking at images of the interior you should be able to fold your back seats forward and move your front seats forward as far as you can for extra length. You may have one side that is wider than the other. If so you can fold down the wider side & use the other seat to sit in. A small cooler...

    Personal cleaning options for long term camping

    I have tried the " no poo" method with my long hair but my scalp would sooner or later start to itch no matter how much I brushed and combed. I did discover that I could take the tube part of a sock and use it as a thick ponytail holder in a high loose ponytail and with a squirt bottle wet my...

    Stealth grey water emptying?

    If you have to be in the city on pavement maybe you could join a large chain health club that charges a low amount a month where you could exercise & shower,or just shower. Or you could use 2 small spray bottles,one to squirt down with and a wash cloth to wash with and follow up with clean ware...

    No refrigeration?

    Not sure if you mean never having any cold food but with a small ice chest you can go shopping and purchase some meat and a package of frozen chicken/fish which I have seen readily available in many grocery stores. You can then eat the cold meat until the frozen fish/chicken is thawed and ready...

    Monthly Food Expenses

    Someone mentioned bagels for sandwiches. I have found torillas seem to last a l-o-n-g time,even in the deep south in summer heat. I have packed them for day trips with grandkids with pb/dribble of syrup,leftover baked potatoes smashed up with shredded cheese (melts in heat),mashed canned beans...

    Ironing clothes

    If you can use hair conditioner you can make your own wrinkle release. I kindly posted it in the same post with the link to the Downy wrinkle release as I know some people prefer to do that. I am blessed and don't have skin allergies nor do I use a wrinkle releaser or iron clothes or have a...

    Better Toilets

    This is an interesting concept as I have read that one can mix feces and peat moss in a bucket and when full,put the lid on it and leave it in the sun for a year,rotating it now and then and it will have decomposed and can be used as compost. Haven't tried it. Maybe the OP can design this with...

    The Scrubba - clothes washing solution.

    I have used this electric spinner for several years and it does a great job extracting water. It is smaller than the Nina spin dryer,both of which just extract water. In warm weather I can hang clothes inside to dry and they are ready in a few hours. In the winter it takes longer unless I put a...

    Greetings! New to here....

    Nothing crazy with wanting to get out of the stationary boxes we call "home" and making our homes movable & where we sleep, incorporating the outdoors as our living rooms,kitchens,dining rooms,recreation rooms and yards! Living outside the box,rather than in it! Living is a journey & an adventure!
