    T-ing off of propane in a class C - possible?

    I didn't know where to post this so please feel free to move it to the appropriate spot. Although I'm back in a 8-5 job and living in my s&b, I haven't given up my dream of selling this house, buying a small class c and living on the road. Part of that dream is lampworking (melting glass rods...

    EZ Up Canopy/Shade

    Does anyone use anything like this instead of an awning?  What has been your experience in ease of set-up and break down for one person?  Windy (beach) conditions - better to weight or stake?  Anything else you can...

    Twist on a Murphy Bed

    I've been tossing some ideas around to make my bus more user friendly and the areas within to be multifunctional.  The twin sized bed takes up a lot of permanent space that is used as just a sleeping area.  There is some storage underneath, and I'd like to figure out a way to use the...

    Limo Tint

    I've been traveling/living in my bus for a couple of weeks now and am finding I don't care for the blackout curtains blocking my view, but it's important to me to have complete privacy at night. The curtains make me feel a bit claustrophobic as well. &nbsp;I'm in mild temps (Florida right now)...

    I bit the bullet and bought it!

    I've been taking extended camping trips (2 months) in my Xterra but it was a little cramped. &nbsp;Today I bit the bullet and bought something a wee bit bigger :-) It's a 1994 FordE350 shuttle van in it's former life. &nbsp;179K miles - new transmission, new tires, recent brake job, runs like a...
