    Jay is in the hospital / Jay passed away on Nov. 19. He will be missed

    I don't know Jay's username here, but he and Margie travel together in a white van. Jay has been in the Lake Havasu City Regional Medical Center for the past ten days. If you want more details or to send him a card, and you have their phone number, text Margie.   Thank you

    Help! Starter battery is dead!

    I stupidly forgot to turn the ignition to off after turning it on to roll down the windows this morning. Now I've just discovered the battery is dead. I have two house batteries, though, and a jumper cable. Can I use one to charge the starter battery? If so, how do I do it?

    AGM battery recommendations?

    I have a lead acid battery in my van but the fumes are becoming a problem (headaches, etc.) and I want to get a sealed AGM battery as soon as I can afford one. Any suggestions on the best kind to get? I need it to power my laptop, ipod, hotspot and cell phone, as well as a blender for my...

    Camping with a pressure cooker

    For some reason, I thought I would have to leave my pressure cooker behind when I start my odyssey next fall, mainly because it's big and heavy and I plan on using a small camp stove. But my main source of protein is beans, and the quickest way to cook them is in a pressure cooker. (I'd rather...

    Did you pay cash for your rig or finance it?

    I'm trying to decide whether to buy a van for a couple thousand or use that money as a down payment and get a better van... plus a brief warranty. Just wondering how you all handled that.

    Free nature sounds online archive

    One thing I'm definitely looking forward to when I get out on the road is going as deep into nature as I can and learning to identify birds, animals, and plants. So I was excited to learn that Cornell University has opened up its archive of thousands of nature sounds to the public for...

    Any holes in this plan to get on the road?

    Last year, I gave my son and DIL (who live with me) notice that I will be leaving in April. They will take over the full rent on this apartment and all utilities, etc. Once that happens, my SS income will be freed up but, due to various 'emergencies,' I've been unable to save enough to buy a van...

    Mostly-raw diet while boondocking?

    When I get a van in the spring and head out, I want to maintain my mostly raw diet of green smoothies and salads, nuts &amp; fruit, with the occasional roast chicken from a supermarket.&nbsp;I want to boondock as much as possible without going to the store more often than once a week.<br /><br...

    Hi everybody

    I've been lurking and learning for a while, so I figured I'd better introduce myself at last. I've been wanting to travel the country like this for over 50 years and it finally hit me that time is running out. Yeah, I'm slow like that.<br /><br />Next spring, I plan to buy a cheap cargo van...
