    Major tire blow out

    Last night while inside my van, I heard and felt a huge explosion and when I went outside I saw that my rear tire was just all blown apart. At first I thought someone shot a bullet in or jabbed a knife or something in it, but most of the blow out was in the tread area with some near the outer...

    Applied what I learned at RTR

    Hi guys, just wanted to say thanks to Forest at the January RTR in Quartzsite. He was that great looking young man with the big smile who put on the seminar on how to plug up a flat tire and also recommended the MV50 air compressor. Well, I had a flat tire yesterday on the freeway and had used...

    Setting up a battery bank

    <p>I'm almost at the ordering stage for my solar panels system and will be putting in AGM batteries in a series of 2-3, maybe 4 batteries.

    Where do you fill water tanks when living in the city?

    Just wondering where you would go to constantly fill tanks without having to stay at an overnight rv park?

    Anybody own this or seen this stove...?

    Saw the exact same one at Costco for $149. I'm still in the inquiry stage of mobile living (scouting for a vehicle, etc.) but this seems like&nbsp;such a nice item and a great price I'm thinking of buying one while they are still available at Costco to be prepared. What do you think?<br /><br...

I figure with the high top and propane maybe offer $2500-$3000. This would be my first venture into van living to get a feel...

    <p>Seems like all the vans I look into have at least 150k miles, even those just a few years old. I narrowing it down to a high top. Sprinters are terrific but like I said, even a 2008 diesel&nbsp; is worn out with mileage and yet they still want top dollar.</p>

    Confused about what I want to do.

    <p>About 17 years ago I sold my clinical office, most of my possessions, put the rest (still a alot) in storage, bought a Toyota mini-camper at auction, and lived in it for two years. Much of it was off and on parked in the driveway of my sister's, but then had to boondock when her landlord...
