I am attempting to get a message to Annie.  We met at the La Posa LTVA during the 2018 RTR.  She owned a new Scamp which she pulled with an Outback.  She's in her 60's and tiny spitfire of a person. She lives in New York most of the year.  We have been communicating and have plans to travel...

My Sienna is a 2012.  Thanks for the suggestion on Siennachat.  :)

Oh yeah and one other thing about why I haven't put a kitchenette in the van... Moisture It isn't as much of a problem in desert areas, but in humid and wet places, you'll soon be seeing and smelling nastiness, not to mention food smells and splashes.

Sounds like your process of getting used to living in a minivan is close to mine.  I purged a whole lot of stuff that I thought I needed but didn't. I even bought an 8 person tent for more space when camped but ended up giving it away.  My gear is down to almost what I would take on an excursion...

Sure.  This is the panel that I bought.  Be warned though, the wiring for the charge controller is crimped and not soldered, so you have to treat it gently.  I had to get it replaced by the manufacturer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8LCDN2 The battery is a 55Ah AGM. I recommend...

Hi SondraRose! Nice to chat with you again! I'll take a look! Thanks!

No, not NLP, more like the concept that your brain becomes what you focus on and the words used will reinforce brain/body chemistry that may or may not help your physical/mental health.  It's mostly based on being aware of the cognitive bias behaviors that cause us to seek out evidence of our...

Hi Johnny, Thank you for taking the time to ask! Yes the website was gutted recently.  That was partly due to being trolled on the YouTube channel (which was subsequently taken down) and other circumstances that I am working through. I will put content back on there when I have had a chance to...

^ Thank you!  I'm catching up on your vids.

Has anyone had any experience with the Carado Axion?  I'm considering purchasing one.  Things to consider? Thanks!

^ Thanks! Safe travels to you as well.

Annie W!  Thanks so much for this! Peace! Edited to remove unnecessary quoting. Please, be considerate of those of us reading on our phones When you are reading on a phone, and you have to read the same post twice to get a new comment, it can be frustrating--especially if there are pictures...

One of my favorite shows just did van dwelling. https://www.ifc.com/shows/portlandia/video-extras/season-08/episode-01/van-life

Thank you and glad that some of my ideas helped!  As it turns out, I am not using the bin as a tub so much, but rather, the kitchen is stored in there.  I got rid of the plastic top and have a wood board over it instead so I can access the inside easily.

Thank you.  I was in the channel studio when I grabbed those. Duh!

I just posted a video that is relevant to this topic.  It is about having boundaries and respecting people's privacy especially for female van dwellers.  While I don't agree with what the woman did, especially since she was outside, sitting at a campfire and was given plenty of room, I do...

Hi there! I have a Sienna. Check out the video of my build. The less "furntiture" you put in it the better. Soft storage works well in the "ovalness" of the interior. Good luck! https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=f0oveQ6nqf4 https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=VztXr5rceT4

I'd like to know where the Art camp is also.  I am over with the mindfulness group.  Would someone be willing to publish the coordinates (again)?

Hey there.  Sounds like you are a receiving a range of good advice.  I gave most of my things to charity, but I didn't have a house to sell either.   Give yourself some time to get acclimated to living in a vehicle.  Go on car camping trips as many weekends as you can to get a feeling for what...

I think Cesar Milan's methods are quite effective, although I currently don't have a dog.  Here is is YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDyz_T0uPt66D_b4kukhdDA
