    Travelling mailbox

    Since Bob's book, there's a new multi-state listing forwarding service. I was not personally thrilled with the previous location options, which will probably always be here; so it's nice to find a more diverse choice of addresses to select from. ** The cool thing now is an option to show your...

    40' long 10' high horse trailer on hitch

    About 6am this morning on a Sunday, I was getting gas at a BP. This LONG late model v8 pickup pulling about a 40' horse trailer with a 10' rear door/ramp pulled in. I was watching and wondering how he could get in - ?? He had to make ALL turns at SLOW walking speed: he's only got one shot to hit...

    Possible new interstate gun carry law, like drivers license.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/concealed-carry-reciprocity-act-showdown/ This is an informative CBS article on gun carry laws in an interstate setting. It would certainly be one less thing a vandweller has to check crossing State lines.  :cool:

    Link for good compilation of heating types/options

    Good compilation of heating types There are quite a few heating types, so you can never have enough comparisons for your invested dollars. Retail advertising mixes names and types up to where consumers don't know what they bought. This is a real good understandable review that is also well...

    How does Bob get the mysterious 1/2" of air in walls?

    Osmosis, foam, balsa wood, ...? Unless something has structural integrity, I do not see how it will keep from being deformed with insulation, etc... All I see is hundreds of references and not a single explanation or a pic.

    A compelling li-ion battery company that educates

    http://www.electriccarpartscompany.com/Why-Our-Batteries-Are-Better I would not want to by li-ion on a sales pitch and a prayer. This guy uses reasonable and sound logic based on the world market, science, and common sense. 2 years warranty is not squat though, but it sounds feasible. I think...

    Gun logistics

    Where do vandwellers store their weapons when they enter places they can't enter legally with firearms? Even with bricks and sticks, it is difficult to hide weapons with all the retarded snitches scanning their adjacent across-the-street neighbors with defense grade mw radars from Sun down to...

    Anyone use encryption coding to protect pc information?

    Encrypting a single pc seems like it would be hard, but maybe it's just because I don't know how (yet.) :)

    Are there any RELIABLE, low, light, Roof, electric AC's/heaters on the market

    Camping World Feedback on Camping World was 2 - 1 of 5 reviews, and their phone help was even less information (they will say anything - ??) It may just be an unreliable design compared to standard car or house ac units; but it sounds like a space saver if it goes significantly longer than 1...

    Does anyone have a compact laser SCANNER?

    Ink-jets are such a ripoff, and now it seems like you have to have a large printer attachment on top of a laser printer for a scanner attachment: B&W, forget color. It seems like a scanner is an essential communication device, even if that billionaire charges $500 for Adobe Reader software now...

    How tall is a Maxxair II vent?

    I'm just doing a little layout homework on my roof systems: measure 3 times, cut once (in your roof!) TIA! :D

    70% Metalized Reflective Window Tint questions

    I got some on my bedroom windows and the microwave properties are fantastic: it's a very healthy accessory in this wifi age. I wish I'd done this at least 10 years ago! Van window tint questions about 70% metalized tint ( - legal in almost all States, except 3 obscure Northern States, and...

    What is THE portable vacuum cleaner van-solution?

    I stopped by BestBuy today, and they have Dyson wands which are handheld cleaners with a wand and a floor attachment. They ranged from about $200 to $500 depending on battery run time of 20 minutes to 40 minutes. NAPA, my favorite autoparts, had a cleaner for $58 or $158 I'll have to take...

    How to wash and wax a 10 foot High Roof Van?

    Doah! Now I think about it, but it needs a washing and i'd like to put some 'sheeting' wax on it too. Then I can just spray it down for a few months (4 maybe) to clean it afterwards. Mine has no windows behind the first row, by chance; but there are a few advantages of a sealed cargo van. I...

    Backup, blindside and perimeter safety cameras??

    I thought I had a better handle until I started investigating websites that had no US address and just emails and 1-800 telephone numbers. Rearviewsafety, Roscovision, Realtruck... all seem to be questionable businesses originated somewhere North of the Canadian/US border or UK. I have been...
