    Dating and van life. How does one go about this?

    I have two cats that will travel with me some. They're not friend felines, sad to say.

    Dating and van life. How does one go about this?

    No. I mean conversation and a meal. I don't get into hook ups and one night stand type of stuff.

    Dating and van life. How does one go about this?

    One thing I should clarify. I'm not looking for hook ups. Just a nice peaceful evening with good conversation with a nice lady from time to time. I've been in two major relationships, one being a marriage, and dipped my toe into hook up culture in the early 2000s, YIKES! I'm definitely not...

    Dating and van life. How does one go about this?

    I left a long term relationship over a year and a half ago. I've been on a couple of non serious dates. Didn't go to well. Now, I'm in a life transition from dirt dweller to van life. Next year, I plan to travel the US looking at sailboats. I'd like to date along the way. Nothing serious...

    SMOKY MOUNTAIN'S (NC) - Private Gathering - June 2018

    I too am out. I have two things coming up in July. One in KY and the other in GA. I'm not sure how much time I'll have between the two. It's one of those family matters.  :s

    Odd TIPS Clothes & Closet & Storage

    If you actually have a closet, lining it with cedar boards will help ward off any bugs that may wander in and keep them out of your clothes. A ladies nylon or a fine mesh laundry bag with cedar shavings can also work in smaller confined areas.

    chevy G30 diesel

    I looked for one of these a while back. I never found one. Parts are a non-issue. Napa has or can get almost everything for the van chassis and drivetrain. Unfortunately, My plans have changed and I would utilize a cargo trailer better than a van. I'm not sure if I would want both. Van cockpits...

    LF Utility/Cargo Trailer

    How did things go with the trailer you were planning to look at? The best place for info is your local motor vehicle licensing department. In my state, trailers under a certain size and weight do not have to be reg'd and tagged unless it's for business use. If you're needing basic insurance...

    Sedan to tow 6x10 cargo trailer?

    I have pulled a 6x10 cargo trailer and a 1995 Mercury Tracer Wagon(same as Ford Escort wagon) on a tow dolly. Roughly 3200lbs. I have a 2001 standard carb Ford Ranger short bed with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It did not do well on small steep high mountain roads...

Of course, Riverman will always be welcome to join if his plans change. What say the other members? Yeah, nay, may bay? should a new thread be started or continue...

    Social Security Disability Question

    I found that to be true with some of the people that work in the SS public office. They're very holier than thou and speak with a condescending tone. It's different when dealing with the court systems and legal side of things here which is in the federal building. They always seem to be friendly...

    sleeping in slide out sleeping areas

    Yes, those pop outs do have a weight limit. The last one I looked at, the unsupported base was 200lbs and supported was 250-300lbs. Yes, they get cold and hot. Heat and AC is lost right through the canvas. I hate them but some love them. They give me the feeling of camping half in and half out...

    88 E350 cutaway box van question about the fiberglass roof

    If you cut through a fiberglass top, it will be brittle. Make sure your tool is sharp and go slow with slow speed. Heat will cause the fiberglass to expand quickly and crack. Anything you mount in the roof, bed it first with butyl tape. Make your cuts, and bed everything in. Cover joints...
