    Geminid meteor shower: When and how to see one of the best meteor showers of the year

    OOHHHMMMMGGG! That was the most incredible meteor shower I've ever seen! The night of the 13th we were 20 miles or so north of Las Cruces, NM. Having totally forgot about the meteor shower, I decided to randomly glance out the window while lying in bed around 11:30PM and saw a huge one streak...

    Video: Don't Buy An RV

    Just my two cents, but i shopped around and found a nice '91 coachman built on a Ford E350 7.5L and love it. The engine is solid, the frame is solid, the interior needed a bit of gutting and rebuilding, but it's now solid too. So even though I could (in theory) afford it, i'd never buy anything...

    How do you make money?

    I'm a software dev for a tech company and just went fulltime remote this past september...been bouncing around state parks in NM this winter. In my free time, i've also been getting more into web and applications security with the intent of pursuing white-hat bug bounties in the near future.

    Anyone in WI staying through winter?

    Hi JuliaAnne, I'm currently in wisconsin now, but plan to head south next week. In early 2017, however, I was in a similar situation. Luckily, I found an understanding storage unit owner and stayed in a storage unit from the end of feburary through may. There were some nights in feb and march...

    Professionals Living In Van by Choice

    I do it and love it! My family and I are full-time in a 29' coachman and I'm a software dev for a small tech startup that's doing great. We'd been "stealthing" around my work all summer, as I had previously been working remotely only half-time, but this past weekend I popped the question to my...

    Anyone in Wisconsin?

    Hey all, My family and I just traded in our rust bucket of a minivan for a 29' coachman. We're at an rv park in the dells right now but are headed out to arizona for the winter. I've been reading about the rtr since I found this Bob and his site early last year. I think we're going to try to...

    How did you get your van?

    I traded my beloved Wenohnah Spirit II canoe for this hunk of rust :-D My van's a '97 town and country that I've gutted, put a ton of mechanical work into, and affectionately dubbed "The Zombie Slayer" because it had a "Zombie Outbreak Response Team" sticker on the side that I left on as I...

    Carry a gun? Extra cash? Where?

    To be fair, if the banks close...will the little pieces of green paper still be worth anything?

    Welcome Kat! Not sure if you're aware or not, so i just wanted to mention it...at the very least you should be able to sell the wheelchair lift to a scrap metal salvage yard and at least get some kind of return on it....although scrap metal prices are kinda low right now. Good luck with your build!

    Newcomer's

    Hello VikiRick, I'm sitting at my desk at work tearing up reading your story. I can only begin to fathom what you two are going through. I lost my mom suddenly last year to a rare form of bone cancer that caused massive organ failures. It was traumatic and heartbreaking, but I can only imagine...

    Hacking it all together

    Thanks all! Zizzer, thanks for your reply...all very good ideas! A junk yard vent is definitely the way to go. And while I'm there I need a new dash console and windshield wiper cowl (I guess there's a few more things that I need to do mechanically to this rig)! Regardless, I will definitely...

I didn't actually visit the forums until just a couple of weeks ago, I was so caught up in the how-to's and articles. I'm a 35 year old software...
