...as a regular 110/120 source? Must be a way to do this, it's electricity.

Not sure where this goes, so I'm sticking it here. My van has barn doors. Lately, the weatherstripping does not want to stay put. Yes, it's easy to pop it back on, but I do find it annoying. Is there such a thing as an adhesive that will keep it in place, but will also readily release when I...

There's a new service in town. Dunno how long it will last, or how widespread it is - Too Good To Go. It's an app, and in theory, you are buying food that a restaurant will otherwise throw away. Lots of choices here in suburb-land, most of them doughnuts, which I have so far resisted. But I...

Hey folks, I’m already thinking about the solar eclipse next year. Path of totality goes through Texas, and I am looking for advice as to where in Texas I should go! Here’s a list of Texas towns that will be in the path -...

Thought some folks might find this interesting - I thought the use of retractable ladders and the options to remove or leave the 2nd row seats in were very good ones.

As some of you may know, Netflix is going to crack down on password sharing between people who don't live together. They are going to do this by periodically identifying the place you are watching from! My question is, if I sign up for a VPN, can I spoof my location so that Netflix thinks I am...

Thought this might be fun - nomads doing it the old-fashioned way! If you run across any others, please add them! First is/was Peace Pilgrim. She walked America with nothing but an apron to carry her belongings. Slept under bridges when she had to. Carried little or no money, depended entirely...

Lightly used, just didn't meet my needs. $199 new, will sell mine for $60. Or I'm open to trading for all or part. Let me know what you've got.

Lightly used, about a year old. New $69, I'll sell mine for $30. (Got an Ovenette instead) Or, I'm open to trade, full or partial. Let me know what you've got.

Filling up my van yesterday, me (and several other folks!) noticed that my van was peeing gas. It being Sunday, and me in somewhat of a minor panic, I didn't know exactly what to do, so I drove 10 miles to the nearest rest area. Got out and checked underneath my van - no gasoline drips and no...

https://www.treehugger.com/new-battery-made-of-cheap-common-materials-6543109 Thought folks here might find this interesting. MIT researcher invents new battery using readiy available (at least for now) aluminum and sulfur. Says it charges faster too.

Not sure where to put this, so I'm putting it here, on the grounds that this forum might be the most visited! Keeping my stove levelled is driving me nuts. My stove is the Coleman single burner, it has four leg pieces that appear to be some kind of plastic tipped with something like rubber. I...

This is by way of a caution. In December, I purchased an Ecoflow Mini portable power station. Worked great until it didn't - it stopped accepting a charge from the car charger. This is critical for me. Their FAQ said I should try another cable, and if that didn't work to return the power...

Besides the library, what is your favorite spot to get a good wifi connection?

A while back, someone here posted a handy-dandy formula for figuring out how to tell when your LiFePo4 battery was hitting bottom. Naturally, I can't find it now.  Does anyone recall said formula?

Man lives by guerilla grazing in Oregon's Rogue Valley.

I'm a person who loves to eat, but I really have no patience for cooking. I want the best pad thai in town, made with approximately three ingredients, ready in five minutes - and I HATE pre-packaged dehydrated meals. (Mountain House, looking at you...) As you might imagine, I am frequently...

Good news.  Please note that your vehicle can still be towed if you are violating a parking ordinance. But what CAN'T happen is that the fines/tow fees can't be more than you can afford. What this really does is remove the towing company's incentive for towing in the first place...

Well, the RoadPro lunchbox I was gifted with bit the dust. I made good enough use of it while it was alive that I do want to replace it. But I am wondering whether I want the lunchbox or the electric skillet or the roaster. (Don't want the slow cooker.) Thoughts?

Pictures please! I'm especially interested in Clam shelters, but anything you do to your tent to make it more useful, I'm interested. I'm thinking about adding some storage pockets to mine.
