Oh boy, I’ve already have a lifetime of getting gonna in my eye (fish sinker, random chemicals, salt dew times, sand, etc) I don’t want more. Lol Thank you for tool suggestions. When I’m rebuilding the inside and outside for bigger tools (bandsaw, etc) I’ll just kidnap them from family when I...

Everyone on this site will end up being my favorite people during this remodel process.  I got lucky in I have family as neighbors and they always go for quality when it comes to tools.  I love rebuilding things and what have you so I think I may end up having more fun rebuilding than the...

Good news, I have no deadlines to meet for getting it done and I have plenty of time to work on it.

I will once I get back out to it. Thank you!

It's a truck camper so no wheels. It's an older model from Wolverine. Once I get back to it I'll find out the year and model along with many pictures. One of the first repairs I will have to do is fix the skylight above the sleeping area. It got damage at some point and leaks when it rains. Of...

So excited! Few repairs will be needed and going to gut it out to remodel it to exactly what I want. It’s going to be my summer project once I get to the place I’m staying at. *happy dance* Any advice before I start repairs and gutting it out? Things you wished you would have done when...

I’m always intrigued how the body works like that. I got use to hear living in Texas and got use to the cold here in Michigan both times I lived here. A friend and I were out the other day and it was in the teens. She goes “you know it’s sad when it’s in the teens and my thought this morning was...

Also, with all the -30s to -40s °F overnight temps this past month You been enjoyjng those nice negative temps too. This week it’s been above zero but I’m sure it’s going to drop again. Can’t wait until it’s consistently in the 30’s..... You know, March/April.

I was coming here to pretty much ask this very question after reading that thread and wondering other ways of staying warm. It’s been a winter here where majority is in the negatives. I need all the tips I can get before car living again.

Thank you! I’m needing ideas to keep warm at night sleeping in my car. I’m going to try this. I’m going stir crazy staying out in the middle of nowhere with a family member. I want to move back into my car but with the -30 temps we been having at night I know I need to figure that part out...

I’ve tried OKC few times. I found in there there was many travelers like me. Majority of them we ended up just being friends with I find awesome. Sure, we didn’t click for romance but having friends who also live in cars/vans/rv’s is always awesome. We tend to share ideas and tips with each...

When I read the OP I assumed they were talking about when their out in no-man’s land by themselves. Like others mentioned we tend to be loners who don’t want to be parking next to another person or in the middle of the desert. There’s plenty of space in the desserts and forest were you can be...

One of my favorite places to sleep at is a park and ride for carpool. Only people that park there during the night are prison guards and they would be gone 13ish hours so that gave me plenty of time to sleep and then be gone. Even the times when they showed up (when I first started parking there...

I can say from personal experience this is true.  :D

I need this sexy beast in my life. I always said I wanted the Griswald wagon but this beauty is the delux Griswald wagon.

I’m with you Jack on wanting to be stealthy in the sense of not being the sore thumb. When I’m living in my car I don’t try to “disappear” in plain sight. That’s humanly impossible. Most of the time I don’t even even cover my windows. I have a Nissan Sentra so someone walks up they can easily...

I did not know that. Interesting. That’ll explain why there was a Texan that went to the local university up there that would let his inspection tags go. If the law didn’t require me to get it done if I was out of state I would just wait until I went home on break. I was going to go to SD and...

Yeah another winter is a bummer of it all but I’m looking at the plus side of it and get to spend more time with my family (especially my Grandma). Another bonus is I get to watch people when the first good snow fall happen get panicked and go all over the road (and ditches) with the new...

Been a while since I posted on this thread. I got to Dallas but that didn’t work out so I’m headed back home to Michigan. My goal is still the same. Just going to work and save the money I. Michigan then head to SD.

Pretty much every job I had I would end up training people. One thing I always told them is they’ll find ways to do the job better, faster, or more logical in some way that’s technically breaking the rules. If they decide to go that route despite the rule play dumb whenever it get’s noticed. Few...
