Hi I havent posted in a while, been busy working.  Just thought id check in.  Iv been full time in my van for over 7 months now and things are going very well!  Im a city vandweller in Nashville.  Hope to be nomadic in about 6 months.  thought id share the way i have my van setup...

  I was thinking i would have to sell my electric guitar once i moved into the van because it would take too much of my battery power to run the amp.  plus the amp would take up a lot of space. But I found this little amp that runs on a 9 volt battery! Its not too loud so if you want to be...

JD GUMBEE... what you have shared is nearly identical to what the fleet manager of the company I work for told me.  we have 120 vans now.  most all are chevy now.  we tried the Transits too and they were pretty good but not  as dependable as the chevy.  the fleet manager said hes never going...

i also has access to a load tester?  would u recommend that over a voltmeter?

im keeping an eye on that.  i leave my windows cracked 2 inches ,i have rain guards on them.  the barn doors on my van are able to be left ajar and still locked.  theres a gap that lets air in this way.  iv checked each morning for condensation, so far theres none. iv heard of so many people...

i only have reflectix on the walls and roof.  i have about an inch air gap behind it.  you have to leave the air gap behind it in order for it to repel heat from outside on those hot days.  iv found that it works great to hold the heat inside too once i get it warmed up in there. but if i lived...

I have a 200w folding portable solar panel and 10 amp controller. I'm about to hook it up to the battery and see how long it takes to charge it   the battery is showing 12.5  resting volts currently.

After 7 days in the van I now realize in cool or cold weather I need absolutely no auxiliary batteries or solar panels. Without having to run the fan, I have no need for auxiliary batteries whatsoever. I can get all my electric power needs from the 12 volt ports in the dash of the van. I can...

Thanks!  I'll use them next time I'm back there .I drove over to pigeon forge for better internet service and found the shower $5 is not bad price to pay to feel so fresh and clean now :-)

Iv been on a trip for the last 5 days so im  for all practical purposes, living in the van full time .  The area im in has little or no wireless service, so the evenings can be boring.  im used to spending the evenings doing my emails, web surfing and watching some of my fav youtube channels.  ...

Smoky mountains tour 2018   I am on day three of exploring the smoky mountains. I’ve got many pics but they are too large to upload. I will continue trying later. AT&T service is sketchy in this area. This was where I parked last night!   Tonight I am parking in the parking lot of a pancake...

I dont know if it would be practical but it sure does look nice. Nice ornamental things like that can brighten your mood and generate positive vibes , so yeah! go for it!

I guess my reason is pretty simple. I’m going to be 47 years old next month. I’m not married anymore and I have no children. I have been working crazy long hours for  years and I’m tired of working my life away  I Don’t have any reason for doing that.  Only six months ago did I start planning...
