Escaping in your Escape. 😃

My friend where I'm staying has a 2006 Prius daily driver with over 200K miles. He had the HV battery replaced a few years ago at Toyota, has to put freon in the A/C once every summer and he's good in brutal hot TX for another year. The upper dash lights act up which is a known issue, but...

I went the opposite way. I moved to CA in 2008 and switched from a TX to CA license. Regret it to this day as the FTB (tax people) still hassle me. I switched back to a TX license in 2012. My truck and motorcycle are titled/tagged in SD, so much easier. I'm using a friend's address in TX as well...

I've been in the trailer for a couple of weeks now and it's working out great. It's almost like being back in a house now. I have a microwave, 4.4 cu ft fridge, hotplate with a 67" L x 16" W shelf to work on. I made a black iron curtain rod with a saddle blanket as a curtain for the window and a...

Thanks for the information. Not being a HVAC expert, I wasn't aware of that. It's now a week from Thanksgiving and I'm still doing well in the shell. Got back into RC models (I fly micro helis in my space). I found a good church home here in Willis and I'm meeting some great people. My camping...

I've been living in the shell for about 3 weeks now at a RV park. I'm pretty dialed in now. Sleeping well on my 10" memory foam mattress, beating the heat with my portable 7k BTU AC (just discovered the dehumidify cycle tonight, was about to die from the damp!) The truck cab kitchen with...

I've been camping in a great RV park in Willis TX for a week now. Been going well. I've been doing little changes to dial in the rig. The AC is working great in the 80-96% humidity  Even with it running and a screened opening in the back door for natural ventilation, at night I get clammy. I'm...

Thanks, I've been to the Philippines 4X already. Beautiful country with friendly people and super low cost. I've been gone for so long and missed out on so much that I want to spend quality time here with family in Texas too. I feel I can make it work like I did in trucking so it's worth some...

I have a 7000 btu a/c unit in the shell, so it will be nice and cold. The Venturist is 16 weeks out before delivery so it will have cooled off here by then. I do agree about the fan though. Some of the concerns listed here have occurred to me, & I definitely appreciate that they are brought...

Good news! I found a long term park in Willis TX not far from where I wanted to be. Very reasonable rates. All they need from me is a background check which is no problem because I have a CDL with a Hazmat endorsement. I'm putting the finishing touches on my truck and just ordered a Runaway...

The Oukitel portable power station has been great so far. I have been powering my 50qt ARB fridge with it. Tonight I bought groceries including perishables, put them in the ARB and then went to my daughter's to hang out, never having to worry about spoilage. Everything remained around 33* and in...

Thanks for all of the insightful feedback! It never occurred to me that the repurposed shell without a proper potty could be the problem. I have a line on another park where I submitted pictures and info of my rig. They seemed to be open to me adding an offroad style smaller trailer to my rig...

Trying to find a place for my Tacoma with a fiberglass utility shell. I have called a few places (not resorts) and have been told no to truck campers. My time at the rental place is almost over and I'm trying to find a place to stay. So far, my search for a small travel trailer has resulted in...

Just received the Oukitel portable powerstation today with a full charge. I plugged it into my ARB 50 qt refrigerator and it indicates 32* with a setting of 34*. Ambient temp is is 81* at 10:00pm in Conroe TX. I'm leaving it on all night to verify the battery drain, but I'm extremely pleased. I...

I just tested the portable 7000btu AC unit at our storage in Conroe. Couldn't be happier. It was hot and humid, perfect conditions for a good test. I plugged it into the outlet in our unit with a 25' extension cord which tucks in neatly between the shell and the left bed side as a shore power...
