    Still Not Happy

    Hi Joyce, Sounds like your life really went through a huge change. I hope the bits and pieces and ends of what is left come together for you, and that you can make a move that will bring you happiness, and maybe some fulfillment. I know you will figure out what you deem keepsakes, and find...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    John, Thanks so kindly. I will actually use a lot of data, as compared to voice, and absolutely no texting. I think I average 5 voice calls a month. Most people I have known, have either passed away, or have moved without telling anyone, so I know very few people now. I basically have no...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    I am still browsing these Tracfones.  Still not sure what they can do.  They seem to have voice and data capability.  I found this one, but not sure if it is a good one, of if it has wifi capability to connect with my computer...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    I did a little reading about WIFI hotspot stuff, and it seems you may have to purchase a SIM card, whatever that is, and also pay a usage fee in addition to the fee you would already have to pay with a Smartphone. Sounds like double dipping to me, but I guess every one of these devices has an...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    RVTravel, Wow! That's a lot to digest. At the moment I do have a 120 watt folding solar power system to charge my two 400 watt battery generators, and my one Duracell Powerpack 600. For my 12 volt system, they are probably enough to get me through the night, as I don't plan on using any...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    RVTravel, Since I haven't got a clue as to what one of these "Smartphones" is capable of, I really do not know where to start. I use Windows based laptops, but not sure I would need a laptop if I have a smartphone. Can you access your bank accounts online with a smartphone, and set up payment...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    One of the things that keeps me from getting halfway to making a decision on just giving up my house, and all the associate costs of owning is communications. I have never owned a cell phone, so i do not have a clue as to what is involved. I defintely want to access the internet, and also have...

    Still Not Happy

    Sorry to be so late with a reply.  Been so busy with the local rat race. I'm doing a build over on Tiny Teardrops Forum.  I am not good with stuff like this, and it has been half a disaster, but things are coming along. As for cooling, I purchased a kennel air conditioner, that is just 1200...

    Still Not Happy

    Yes, I do live in the high desert of southern California, and right now own a 750 sq ft house, I have spent the past 16 years fixing up from what was nearly a tear it down/eye sore type structure. It really looks nice now. So a swamp cooler works well here, and about anywhere her in the SW US...

    Still Not Happy

    mpruet, I have a bit of difficulty sleeping in the CRV. The reason is my 6 foot tall frame. Yes, I am rather tall. That's the reason, I got this trailer. Based on my experience, I only need something about 67 inches long to sleep on. I tend to curl up a little when laying down. But, I...

    Still Not Happy

    Many thanks to All who responded to my introduction. Already I have a few suggestions that give me options. Years ago I traveled to Florida to meet the person I thought I might live the rest of my life with, only to find after four months that all he was interested in was my labouring to get...

    Still Not Happy

    Hi Everyone,  I came here because of the videos Bob has posted on YouTube.  I find his information, and the interviews he does with others quite informative. I am a bit old to start thinking about just dropping things, and going full time, living in a small setup, and seeing the country.  But I...
