    Comic Tom Green goes van life - flees L.A. and Covid across America podcasting

    As we all likely know, van life is becoming more well known and less stigmatized. Some might say it is even going "mainstream". Well, a sure fire way to know when that is actually the case is when even celebrities chose to participate. Canadian-born whacky comic and actor, Tom Green, has had...

    Domestic travel potentially curtailed/forbidden?

    It seems incompatible with a free society such as ours, but arguably part of an effective quarantine in a pandemic is regional lockdown. The Chinese did this in the area around Wuhan. Russia has no reported cases as a result of keeping their border shut. Italy has restricted travel in key areas...

    Best DIY roll on roof sealant?

    I bought a used round-top 24ft cargo trailer that I shall slowly convert to my rolling home. It has an issue or two, but the price was awesome, so I pulled the trigger on this baby. One of those issues, however, is a leaky roof. A damaged, leaky roof. A very poor sheet metal patch to some sort...

    Looking for salvage 4x4 van

    I finally found an awesome deal on a Duramax Express. Found a locksmith biz selling it off. I paid just $4200 for it, but they didn't want the steel cabinet tool shelving in it, so I sold that off for $500 and now my cost is only $3700!   Anyway, at THAT cheap, I'm willing to invest more bucks...

    I'm a noob - Help me think out the numbers on this chest freezer

    What/how many batteries will it take to run a regular household 115v/2.0amp chest freezer? And will 900 watts of panels be enough? So here's the background that will paint the picture of why I'm asking what I'm asking;... I just finally received my disability. I have funds on hand to build out...

    USPS Testing E450 chassis with electric motor and step van body

    A lot of people are wondering what the future of vanlife might be like in the Tesla age. If these end up hitting the used vehicle market in 5 to 10 years,...who knows? https://insideevs.com/usps-tests-ford-e-450-electric-vans/ USPS could purchase thousands of EVs, but will they? The United...

    How to select dentist in Algodones?

    Soon as my disability money arives in the next couple of months, I plan on going to Algodones (or maybe Nogales) to get some much needed dental work done. I understand that part of why services across the border are so inexpensive is that there are no malpractice lawsuits in Mexican...

    Converting commercial registration to RV for box truck (need actual experience)

    I wish to convert a box truck to my desired configuration for living. To get the best insurance rates, it needs to be registered as an RV. In my home state of AZ this is not possible,...they just don't do that here. So I will have to go to another state for this purpose. I accept that. But which...

    LARGEST seat portable toilet

    I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere before, but I'm too lazy to go dig through older posts to find it. And it seems to me to be an important enough topic to get brought up once more. I'm a big dude. Wide, that is. I have a fat ass,...no way around it, pardon the pun. So much of the...

    Considering the nomad life

    So I am expecting the Soc.Sec.Admin. to finally approve my disability status this coming summer. With that should come funding retroactively from the date of my first application back in Sept. of 2015,...so a nice chunk up front and then the monthlies after that.  But of course, existing merely...
