I was going to say fold it under or finding a way to fold it down the end of whatever your sleeping platform is. I wouldn't want to give up something that has been working for you!

I had the rain fly on. I do not remember if I sprayed it as well or not, as it was quite a while ago now. I made sure that nothing was touching the inside of the tent when we went to bed.

I had never heard of this before! Love the idea and will look into it. I would gladly take a training course on infant care, though I am well versed in it with experience. My doula training might cover enough of it, so I will check/complete that before I do another course. Had a thought that...

I love sewing and creating custom items for kids. I love working with moms with breastfeeding and talking parenting. I love playing with my kid, reading, writing, cooking, biking, being outside. I'm passionate about sustainability, holistic health, and safe products. I was talking with a friend...

I believe Nylon. Used but not very old. I washed it down, dried it, srayed it with a sealant, then let it dry.

I need all your lovely brains and positive energy to help me figure out how to make a sufficient income on the road. I am a single mom to a young son, so being able to just drop into a temporary job at a location isn't going to work for me as I would need childcare prearranged. I have a 1986...

My plans did not pan out for our first trip that was supposed to be about two weeks. Then I was offered a job that I wanted. I am now doing that and taking a yoga teacher training course. Next will be a doula training course to add to my extensive breastfeeding knowledge and goals to be an...

Well, we went but we only managed to tent camp one night and nothing about our trip went as planned (some better, some worse). I also discovered that my tent leaked even in a light rain. I had wiped down and treated it before we left on our trip.

Here's one I learned with my car in the town I had lived in for a few years: They don't have to have no overnight parking signs on every street to still give you a ticket. There were signs for no overnight parking on a few of the main ways into town but some were overshadowed by trees or just...

You get it! Thank you. As a parent without a steady income, I cannot turn down a job offer. But, we live with my mom outside Flint, Michigan and I really want to get on the road. This whole camping road trip is being planned so I can source more books, increase  my  income, meet someone I have...

It totally is! And I used to work at one. As of right now, my road trip planning is on hold because I just had a job interview. I had applied and written it off because I had been told the position was already filled. It's a job I've been trying to get an interview for for 3 years but I've also...

That does look comfortable! I will keep my eye on that. It's currently out of my price range. I need to measure the pull down bed in my RV, because it would be great for whatever I get to work there as well.

Van Dwelling Life I did not read that thread so will not comment on it, but I just read your blog post. I think you should create what you are looking for. Use a tab on your blog to start listing and linking the folks you come across online and in person. Organize it how you see fit because...

Do you now have fridge space? If not, maybe find something that can work in a building and in a car so you can have it for both purposes. As for online or in person, you won't be able to do all of it online as a lot of science and math are in person only. I think I would meet with an advisor at...

They are on the same kind of crap diet we are and are getting all the same kinds of chronic health conditions. My cat has hyperthyroidism and kidney disease from ****** dry food. My friend's dog just died with cancer (he actually died choking on pound cake, so that was probably better than dying...

Yeh, I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible so that I can earn money selling used books through Amazon as we travel. I have a Class A but can't afford to get it all set to roll, which would be preferred. I found some pads at Meijer today but none look as good as the ones I linked earlier...

 Those look really nice, and I appreciate you providing links, but there's no way I could afford one of those. I am working with what I have on hand right now. Also, see my comment about my hips. I don't think I could sleep in a snug sleeping bag and be able to walk the next day. I had a comment...

The last time I slept in a sleeping bag, I was 17. I have hip issues, even back then, and sleeping in too restrictive of a place makes them dislocate. If I were to try to bring my knees up and meet resistance in front and behind, my hip will start to dislocate. Super painful! I'm going to just...

Being a single parent has changed my need to shower daily ;-) Actually when I was pregnant I would forget everything, including when I last showered, coulda sworn it was yesterday... I shower every 2-3 days currently (not on the road yet). The more natural and minimal products you use, the less...

The lighter sleeve is not working in the van and I'll need to get that replaced. Lots of little things need to be done! But I have about a year before I want to be full time on the road. Did you try replacing the fuse for it? I took a multimeter and tested all of my fuses. Found one I had...
