I am moving out of my van, and I am willing to give it away to someone who needs it and is an active member here.  I am selling it to anyone else for 900.    It has a clean wv title.  It is an old cargo van, so it isnt pretty but it runs good.  It is AS-IS of course. It has a bedframe, some...

Works really well, I usually keep it around 10 degrees.  A friend gave me a much bigger one.  Bought around august or september.  Its 2' x 1' x 10" so pretty easy to fit anywhere.  Can meet in Ehrenberg at the Flying J or Laundry.  $145 Price is firm, send me a pm.

Anyone tried this out yet?  Really cheap rentals, its kind of like airbnb for cars.  I think it might be cheaper than those rv/van rentals for rtr or trying it out.  They have pretty decent minivans for $35/day with a few hundred miles out of phoenix for example (weekly rental).

I am in ehrenberg, and the general quartzite area.  If you don't have 900 bucks for one, I can make you a basic composting toilet for the cost of materials (about 50 bucks).  If you want to pitch in a little for generator gas or for my diet cola addiction, I wont turn it down but I'm willing to...

I have a  free fridge to give away. It is not dc but it is efficient enough for 200 ah/200 watt system and 800 watt inverter.   pretty good size (3 cu ft) i think with separate freezer.  Its a little banged up but works perfectly.  I put it between my seats.   I am in california near truckee...

I was considering making a build out of a cargo trailer, and weight started to be a factor for me.   Has anyone tried building out with metal studs instead of wood 2x4?  Could use self tappers...

Hello, im trying to replace the rear drum brakes on my 1990 chevy g10.  I took pictures and was prepared to reassemble with my new shoes when i noticed my cylinder was leaking a bit. Probably how i wound up with very little fluid and spongy brakes in quartsite.    Pretty scary, not just the...

My work is supplying me with a yamaha 2k inverter genny an i love it.  I am considering buying an inverter genny now but i gotta go cheaper. I did some looking and this wen generator apparently has the same guts as the yamaha (same factory in china?)...

I find a rare walmart in california that allows over night parking, in fact even rarer still it allows extended stay as far as I can tell.  This is a huge boon to me which I am grateful for.  I often wondered why more wallys weren't this way but I think i get it now.  In the 3 days ive been...

Posting a seminar for lisa, today - thursday at 10am & 2pm, not far the big table. coords:  N 33° 35.206 W 114° 28.169 Im no nothing about it, direct questions to here.

!I remember a lot of discussion, and maybe a bob article, on hi tops a while back.   It seemed like pretty pricey unless you nailed junk yard or could run out to fiberine, then install yourself.  Someone on r/vandwellers posted a new source on east coast that seems very reasonable!   Just over...

So after a fun day having the van shut down about 1000 feet from the mechanic, who thankfully came and dragged it in the rest of the way for me, I have an update on the van situation. Those who were helping me in another thread may recall I had 2 issues, the engine and something making...

ive started doing some wood sign making and experimenting with other crafts. So far ive made about 60 bucks from signs (minus costs), sold 2 on my etsy shop and 1 locally through fb. I suspect the etsy ones were last min xmas gifts. I really like doing it, but not sure its viable. i know...

Im not sure i can describe everything in this video, but ill give a description. Basically win 10, as many know, will be aggressively digging into your system and taking data, as well as updating. This takes precious bandwidth. He tells you how to stop everything you can, (nothing can stop...

Went to get propane today, and to my horror, on the way back my van was making an alarming, grinding sort of noise when i was trying to go up hills or get up to speed. it would stop when i let off or just cruised. Is this thing, and my plans to escape winter done for? I had just filled the...

So tesla just came out with autopilot tech. This guy actually takes it for a spin. Hes terrified at first but on long stretch of well maintained road it does well. Crazy! How long before people fall asleep lol

Looks like amazon is dipping into the etsy market. Anyone tried this out yet. Im thinking of making extra money carvin signs but not sure how to go about sellin em

I wanted to talk to you about the glasses i just bought, insanely cheap. The site is http://www.globaleyeglasses.com . If you know your prescription you just enter the numbers in. Be sure to get the distance between the center of eyes too, my doc didnt provide so i had to ..ehem..eyeball it...

So..maybe im being dumb, but what is the protocol here?   I heard of people saying they put their food in a tree....so do they empty out the pantry in the RV/Van at every campsite in bear country?  Or is this just for hikers and opened items/trash?  I know this is probably common sense to some...

Well it will be the final one for a while.   I already posted this bed frame in my captains log, but decided to put this kind of stuff in a conversion thread where it belongs and save my log for other stuff thats goin on.  If you subscribe to my blog as well, sorry if there is repeated posts...
