My home base is a 30 foot travel trailer in a campground.  It's stationary and I just put skirting around it.  Likely my adult daughter will live here when I go off living in a vehicle or pulling a pop up.  The TT is plugged into shore power.  Recently we had a power outage and my 12 volt lights...

Saw this on sale at Harbor Freight for under 90 bux.  Would this work to charge a couple of golf cart batteries or is it too wimpy?

This came across my email from Instructables.  It's a Dumpster House on a utility type base.  https://www.instructables.com/id/Tiny-Dumpster-House-Trailer/ I'm sort of speechless.

It appears to be prepaid and $45 bux a month.  But I can't tell, is it unlimited internet for $45?  For a bit extra you can add TV.  I like prepaid options too because if I'm staying somewhere with internet access, I can opt not to renew it. https://www.xfinityprepaid.com/prepaid-internet...

I recently underwent my first cataract surgery.  The doc and the surgical center wanted their money up front before doing it, even though I was legally blind!  I'm too young for medicare, but thankfully I have pretty good insurance through my pension.  It's expensive but I think it'll pay for...

I was driving today and a hightop white conversion van passed me and on the back were those stick figures to represent members of the family and pets.  It had a mom and a dad and 3 kids and a dog.  I was thinking stealth when I thought, man, a van like that parked in a development around here...

This is the nicest stove I've ever seen.  It's got an oven in it, a griddle, a mica window to see the flames.  It has a water boiler.  AND it has a gravity fed hopper for wood pellets OR you can put 12" wood pieces and burn that way.  He has an A-liner and expects to use it inside there when he...

Lazydays RV (a chain of RV stores) sent me a letter with the chance to be a $5K cash winner, but I had to bring the letter with the number on it in to their event.  I also had to register online a few days before to receive (everyone registered gets this) a Tervis like Lazydays mug, a $20 coupon...

One thing I am facing pretty soon is the fact that I'm legally blind in one eye and going that way in the other.  Not to worry.  The eye doc can fix it.  All I need to do is get the cataracts removed and I should see about the same as I did before I grew them.  Anyway so I have to move in with...

I dunno if anyone else has encountered this.  I've been camping for some time, but when there's no wifi, no tv signal, cell phone is too weak, what do you do?  I have been so bored.  I've already cleaned the rig more than someone with OCD.  Yeah, I could hike, but I've done that and there's not...

I found this website from a prepper type site and there are several models of home made toilets shown.  Some are ideas I've already seen, but a couple I hadn't seen. https://www.foodstoragemoms.com/2017/10/diy-portable-emergency-toilets-easy-make/

Title is:  Couldn't find his dream popup micro-camper, built it instead YouTube.  I found additional info from his translated website (thank you google translate) which is below.   It looks a lot like Airstream's Base Camp.  His build is VERY light construction.   For him, it looks like it...

I had this info on the thread about Hunting lease property, but out west, it seems there are few hunting leases and more Gun Clubs that have camping.  So I'm starting this on a thread of its own, since it morphed that way: --------- Here's a Gun Club in Spokane.  It's $65a year and lifetime...

Has anyone considered camping on hunting lease property? Depending on the hunting lease, one can rent unlimited use for as little as 500 for the entire calendar year.  That averages out to less than 42 dollars a month!   If you found an area you really liked, it could be the go-to place during...

In my research, I found a lot of builds that were as old as from 100 years ago!  This particular build is from Popular Science Monthly, vol 100, June 1922, courtesy of Google Books Advanced Search.  Auto Camping was a great new way to travel for average Americans who were getting their first...

I saw Bob's video with the man with the Kia Sedona and he was running his fridge on a second battery that was charged while he was driving, and when he stops, he's got a full battery to run his fridge on.  That is an awesome idea as I don't have the money for the solar yet.  So what I was...

I have an older Tahoe and live in FL.  It's September, right after Hurricane Irma came through, and I thought I'd do a trial run while my house gets repaired.  But the days in FL are 90+ degrees and it's humid heat, which seems even hotter.  I don't have solar panels on the Tahoe, and I don't...

Best times of my life were solo hiking and car camping, so for retirement, that's the plan.  I didn't know this forum existed.  I've been watching Bob's vids for some time and heard mention of a forum on the one of his vids and I was like, forum?  What forum?  So here I am.  I haven't read...
