    Question About Showering on BLM Land

    I've asked this question of a few Youtubers and I've gotten no responses. I see many folks using shower tents on BLM land. What does the BLM say about shower water on the ground? I have no issue on my property in Idaho (the trees love the extra water), but I plan on hitting BLM land on my way up...

    Plug And Play Panel Connectors

    I'm building 2 cargo conversions for a convent in Mississippi. They will be used as guest quarters as well as accommodations when they travel. They will be running a 1.7 cu.ft dorm fridge (on a small pure sine inverter), 5 - 3 watt led ceiling lights and a roof charging their phones on a 100 amp...

    "Emergency Homeless Shelter" Build

He has a health issue which requires him to sleep on his back with his feet elevated - not something he can do in the driver's seat.

I have most things figured out, but I'm debating on which 12v fridge to use. The 49 qt Dometic runs $800-$900. It uses very little power...

    A/C Question

    I'm planning a frame up build of a 7 x12 "tiny trailer". It will be framed with 2 x 2's which will allow for 1.5" poly iso foam board insulation all around, including the floor. This will give a R10 envelope around the trailer. The roof will be white 24 gauge roof metal and the sides will be...

    Grey Water Question

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm wondering when you are on BLM land (especially in the desert) what are you doing to dispose of grey water? I've heard that some areas permit ground dumping as long as it isn't kitchen water(?), but I'm not sure the source is reliable or knowledgeable.
