Thank you so much ! I love hearing your experiences and it is so very helpful to me! I will definitely be getting a Nalgene bottle and those hot hands! Last year getting out to the RTR was just too cold without something more than a warm sleeping bag.

I appreciate you clarifying that! Yes— I struggle with understanding all this, so it helps tremendously for others to say NO! Don’t do that! Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much! I will definitely focus on this instead!!!!

Has anyone ever tried to use these to power a 12v blanket? If not, would it work even for a short while? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X5RV14Y?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title...

Ha! FOOD packs...not goodbyes packs :P

So forgive my random question and ignorance, but is there any use for leftover Reflectix pieces? Like would it be if any use to fill empty cavities in the doors with it, or is it pointless and should just never trashed? The pieces aren’t big enough for insulated goodbyes packs or anything. Any...

Thanks!! I will definitely try that! Just glad it’s not something I did...:)

So I got together all the parts for the weed sprayer shower and it works great! One question though that I can’t seem to find an answer to on videos and forums is this:  What am I doing wrong if, when I pump it, it sounds like wildebeests mating or a donkey heehawing???? Anyone? :D

Just to chime in here, I still live in an apartment near a highway as I’m doing my van build, and the amount of dust this place accumulates is incredible! If I were to attempt to keep the dust out, it would be a daily to multiple-times-a-day struggle! So I can imagine that living in my van full...

Sorry—assuming you already have a tea kettle. The kettles at Walmart are cheap though. I ended up getting a OXO brand pour over kettle because my hands are not steady...but any kettle would work!

I got this Melitta travel pour over (actually came with two)  https://www.amazon.com/Melitta-Coffee-Single-Pour-Over-Brewer/dp/B0049D3UBA And a single burner butane stove(Gas One)...and in the Walmart parking lots on the way to the RTR, I just opened the door a bit for ventilation and I had no...

Thank you! I will definitely look into these—I’ve heard good things about them from others as well. The least amount of space it takes up, the better!

Welcome, Deb_A! I am a hopeful prepper to be vandwelling soon (partially anyway to start out), and just know there are some fantastic people on here to support you and answer your questions as you start out and go along. They have been very helpful to me!

One or two of these will definitely take care of any smell! Just put your bags in here until you can get to a place to dump it: https://m.harborfreight.com/50-cal-metal-ammo-can-63181.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided

I have a Transit Connect as well and am working on it to prepare for my journeys... hmmm... Escapees Atheists group, huh? Would be interested to find out more...

This makes sense. And I like the welcome mat underneath-protection idea. Yes.

HAHAHAHA!

Oh! I didn’t even think of that...I am in a VERY humid area... hmmm... so would I have these same issues with a Roto-Molded cooler without added insulation? I plan on having it near a door too, so I can drain out easier. And as for not using the meltwater for drinking or cooking I very much...

Excellent! Thanks for the clarification and info—appreciate it very much !!!!

Thank you everybody! I will definitely look into these you suggested as I would prefer to not spend so much.
