I got an AC unit. I don't have solar (next step!) but I am renting an RV lot for the summer which has an electric hookups. The question is, how and where do I install this thing? The back door on the left seems the best bc the panel is already exposed. I am not sure if I should install it in...

I'm in Austin and have contacted rv parks within a 30 mile radius. I didn't contact any with the word "resort" because they have standards that my van won't meet. But I'm still having trouble with this. They want the units to be 10 years or less old. I know a place outside San Antonio that I...

I live in a hot humid climate and right now I'm with roommates. But the situation here is not working out. And I can't stand having roommates again after one too many bad experiences. I've literally been bullied and sexually harassed here. I planned on full timing it in my van when it gets...

Hello. So I got a Ford high top van and, with help from someone on here,  got about 60% of the floor done. I tried doing the plywood cuts myself but I lack the skill, tools, space and help. My friend had to leave the area for a while. Im in Austin atm but headed to San Antonio soon. Then out to...

Whoo Hoo! I got a Ford High Top. A mechanic that checked out another van for me actually found it for me literally hours later after he checked the first one. An associate of his got it at an auction. I got very lucky. A friend on here, WanderingScribe, has been instrumental in helping me get it...

I am thinking about getting the Renergy 100 watt kit but uncertain if I need more panels. I am lost on finding the info on how much power that translates to.  The other option I was considering is an electric cooler charged with a portable battery charger (no battery). Just plug it into the...

Thank you to those who have provided me so much feedback so far.  It has helped me with bouncing ideas and realizing what I can do with what I have. Due to cost, time to travel to check out vehicles and travel limitations of my current (pathetic and on the way out) Toyota, converting a van...

I want to get a truck camper and everything I've read, and everyone has said, is to not get a half ton because it's dangerous and limiting to the type of camper you can get. My budget is low for both camper and truck (5k) and I've been looking into 3/4 tons. I was turned off to the high mileage...

I've narrowed down my choices to either a truck camper or a short travel trailer.  My main concerns about the trailer are:  Where do you park in the city (any city)? I will be attending events in major cities such as concerts and conventions. Is it safe to leave a dog in a trailer if it is...

Hello: For me, I think getting a pickup along with a truck camper is the best option. I think I've exhausted the other options since converting a van is not physically possible atm. I don't feel comfortable pulling around a lot of weight and used class b's are very hard to find past 1980. At...

Hello. I tried searching past posts to find this info but if it's there I missed it. I am on the fence about getting a cargo van vs a conversion + trailer. The biggest reason is height. I can't crouch down constantly due to back issues. I mentioned this in another post and someone suggested...

Hello, fellow cheap rvers: I am posting here because I have some challenges that have led me to feel that this is the way to go. I had back surgery. I'm expected to have a full recovery, and by my guess, that will happen before the end of the year. I'm about 70% there now. It will take physical...

Hello! I'm deciding between either a truck camper and a class b. But the problem is that I can't tell from pics and video how wide the walkway is. I'm going to an RV show next week to see more in person. But the problem I am worried about is that I am a woman with wide hips. Doesn't matter how...
