    Converter issue

    Yes, I need a battery.  In FL we have daily storms most months of the year.  I lose power at least once a week.  This TT is now permanently parked, with skirting, and will serve as my home base and home to my adult daughter.  So I don't want to leave without fixing this issue.  The converter...

    Thank You Bob Wells

    And what do you do in your spare time?  LOL  WOW, that's a lot of work while working a day job.  Glad you're here and maybe you can help out others with advice since a lot of us here haven't done a 1/5th of what you've done.  I'm considering getting a small cargo trailer and converting it to...

    Brutalized, jailed and falsely accused by young, gung-ho ranger

    No wonder why folks just want to be left alone.  So sorry this happened to you.

    Which AAA membership level

    I've belonged to AAA since 2007 and have been very happy.  I drive beaters and put on a lot of miles, and every year I have to use it at least once.  And you use it once and it pays for itself.  One year I used the maximum, 4 calls.  I had a starting problem that was difficult to pinpoint, so...

    Born a nomad

    Dave,  glad you made it here.  You'll find a job.  Just keep asking around too.  One thing to do, and that is to have your work gloves in hand when you go to ask for a job.  It tells them you are ready to work!   Don't neglect farm work too.  Oh man, rurally, farmers are begging for hired help. ...

    Tell us more about yourself, newcomer Stu!  Have you been planning the plunge, already taken it or dreaming about it?

    Greetings from a newbie of sorts…

    Welcome Solani, You are one thing for certain and that is thorough!  You have a very interesting situation, and I'm sure you'll figure it all out.  One thing you might do is address each question in each category and refer people back to this thread as a way to see the whole story.  I think you...

    New here - aspiring to #vanlife

    Hi there, Welcome.  I haven't been online all day trying to figure out a converter problem on my rig, but came here to see you had written.   As a fellow artist, I want to give you a heartfelt welcome and let you know that you're now part of a growing phenomenon of people who want to live simply...

    Converter issue

    OK, the battery has been tested, and it is dead.  I put a marine battery charger on it, and after 6 hours, nothing.  It's time to replace the battery anyway according to longer time RVers here.  Florida is extra hard on batteries.  One guy said he expects they last 2 years unless you buy the...

    What to do when there's nothing to do??

    I sell (or give away) literally everything I create.  I don't have space for piles of sketched drawings that will end up in the trash.  I just can't throw away stuff I create like that.  I don't have trouble selling because the stained glass is so pretty, and if something hangs around too long...

    What to do when there's nothing to do??

    What a great story; you got out of the slavery trap by getting out of debt.  I preach this to my kids so they don't get into debt so they don't have work like dogs to get out.  It's not even rocket science and totally doable for a lot of people.  I don't know who made credit socially...

    What to do when there's nothing to do??

    I had a couple of relatives that had them.  They had to learn Morse code and take tests and stuff.  It would be great to talk to people in other places, but these days, you can pick up your phone and do the same...that is if you know them.  I saw a historical photograph of a woman autocamping...

    Welcome.  I think you'll find that we're all down to earth here and probably won't bother you with airplane questions.  LOL  Thanks for your service!  Hope you'll find the right rig for your wife and yourself.  I like your idea of keeping it simple instead of plunking down a chunk on a fuel...

    Trying to get over my fears..widower from Ga.

    Welcome to you, Chuck.  You're going to do just fine.  Most of us don't have a cushion either.  You'll be able to save some scratch by living this way.  Way better off than renting a room somewhere. Glad you're here.

    Watched the CheapRVliving live, now Im here!

    Hey Snaps, Welcome.  You'll find a lot of income ideas here.  It'll depend on how much you need to keep you going, but my daughter does 100% of her work online and never steps foot in the office.  She's a graphic artist and she went to art school to work on video, animation and gaming.  Most...

    Wow, 5 chihuahuas?  Dave, if a LEO comes knocking on your van, it will be utter chaos.  LOL  Welcome here.  Hope you have a good time.

    Hello from OKlahoma

    You'd get better luck getting responses if you didn't refer to us as "old timers."  LOL  Dang, I was thinking about answering and then I almost refused because I don't want to be an old timer.  Shocking.  You'll find all age groups here. The simple truth is, you can camp almost anywhere, even...
