Ted, my mileage is nearly all city stop/start driving, so it's understandable that the MPG wouldn't be nearly as good as freeway driving. Still and all, the mileage I get stinks. I am a fairly steady driver..... none of the stomp-the-gas-pedal stuff or anything. Just a ton of stops and starts in...

I've been watching YT videos with PVC hacks a lot lately, trying to figure out cool stuff I can make for my van that would make things more efficient. This one might be really good for a vandweller, because it's so compact. TP takes up a ton of room, right? Here's a link directly to this...

Hey Miles, I have a 2013 1500 that I bought used in 2014. Two things I despise about them-- I can't imagine they hadn't fixed both things by the time you bought yours.: - Terrible terrible TERRIBLE gas mileage..... mine averages about ten mpg in town. Not sure about the freeway because I am an...

Alcohol-based disinfectants like hand sanitizers don't work to kill the virus, but bleaches, including hydrogen peroxide does.

Wow, I am so impressed-- I'm still in a head-jumble about all this stuff, i.e. watts, amps, hours, input/output, blue suede shoes, yada yada yada. Then again, I can't really afford it yet anyway, so no sweat, right? Seriously, really good job there!!

My apologies Holly! Don't know where or how I came up with the name Tina. Sorry about that. Sent from my LG-LS777 using Tapatalk

I slept in my car for a couple of months back in 2008 -- stayed mostly in Capitola, in grocery store parking lots. So many people were doing it and nobody bothered us, but it's been a long time so things might have changed. You'd have to be more stealth than not-- you wouldn't want to set up a...

Oh wow, this is so great. The passenger seat in my van is huge, taking up so much space. More art supplies if I did this! Sent from my LG-LS777 using Tapatalk

Wow Danny, your post was great-- really put things into perspective. Sent from my LG-LS777 using Tapatalk

If you're incontinent, or know someone who is, do I have a tip for you! Heh... no kidding, this really does work! Use one of those "pee pads" (like a giant sanitary napkin, which will also work, btw), or cut up the underwear style. A baby diaper Pampers, Huggies, etc.). You need the absorbent...

Heh.... I *hate* fishing! lol Hang in there, Tina - I'm betting that once you hook up with the others at the meetup, you'll start getting some good ideas from them. Sent from my LG-LS777 using Tapatalk

Oh man Tina, I love that you've got a good plan. I'm into jewelry as well- mostly metalwork usung cold connections, so I don't have to worry about large tanks of gas. I do have a lovely flexshaft though and I soooo don't want to give that sucker up. I can do everything by hand if needbe.... it's...

+1 to everyone's responses - all are dead on. I can't imagine ever being bored, let alone on the Oregon coast. Having said that (with some smugness and superiority, don'tcha know), I have a good friend who is like the OP. I can't get her interested in *any* sort of hobby, not even walking nor...

Heh..... Thanks for the welcome Danny. I don't think I know anything more than what everyone here does. In fact, I've learned tons and tons in the few weeks I've been reading. I'm good at butting in, though-- meant to say I'm good at passing along things others have taught me. ;) Sent from my...

Thanks highdesrtranger!

Oh man, this is going to be a hard one for me. You did a good job. Brave!

I've been living in my van, in parking lots, for the last couple of years. This isn't something I chose, but like so many, had a series of events that lead to this result (lost job, health issues, etc.). I was very lucky to already have a van that was in decent shape, bought to haul all of my...
