I'm getting a cheap 12v fridge & small 150 watt power station soon. Instead of running the fridge off a larger capacity power station that would be tied into a solar panel on my Prius (original plan), I've decided for simplicity, and will instead power the fridge directly through my car's 12v...

Thank you for all the suggestions and SUPPORT...they really mean a lot. On top of going through a major stroke 1.5 years ago, I recently split from my girlfriend of 15 years, who's also the mother of my 13 year old son. So yeah, things have been tough, which is why I do appreciate the kindness...

Update time. I officially hit the road in Elvis (my new to me 2008 Prius) 2 weeks ago. I had EVERYTHING lined up. Or so I thought lol. The official plan was to use a Thousand Trails membership as a way to beat the system, and camp unlimited (mostly) for the next year. And it can be done! Not by...

I'm not really a straight water drinking fan, though I know I should be, as it's the cheapest, healthiest thing you can put in your body. Rather, I much prefer flavored seltzer & lightly-sweetened iced tea, which makes up about 95% of my liquid intake. Essentially, I'll only be using water for...

I don't think I ever updated this particular thread on the purchase of my new Prius (nicknamed Elvis), but if anyone is interested, I did post a separate update about 4 or 5 weeks back. Just do a search for it. I will say this... Going through the car buying process was agony...especially...

I'm waiting for my sim card to arrive from Visible, since I've decided to give their service a shot. I know the whole story: they're owned by Verizon, are an MVNO, etc. I've done my research. All in all, for $25 per month (once I'm in a party plan) to have truly unlimited talk, text & web, in...

Okay, you've answered my question (y):) HOLY MOLY is that a lot of data!!! P.S. - I wasn't pushing the Verizon plan (or any other). Was truly curious as to why people would opt for a dedicated, standalone hotspot versus tethering. Now I know one of the reasons.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have a genuinely sincere question... Why would someone choose to use a dedicated mobile hotspot device when they can just as easily use their phone's tethering capability? This would negate the need for the mobile hotspot, thereby saving one money. I...

You've never seen a shower tent at a campground? Look on Youtube, there are probably thousands of videos showing just this. And I'm not trying to be a jacka$$ by making this comment...I'm truly, genuinely surprised you've never seen a shower tent set up at a CG...private or non. Bear in mind...

I realize that most of the nomads on here don't normally stay at campgrounds, but I'm hoping a few of you might have some know-how on my question, which is... Due to medical issues I have, my balance is very poor. I also cannot stand (comfortably & painlessly) for more than a few minutes at a...

Look up my thread below this one maybe 2 or 3 down. I just went through a MONTHS-LONG ordeal, exactly like you are now. I wouldn't wish buying a car on even my worst enemy in this market...especially a used one...and even more especially one that's too far away to see in-person. Again, I went...

I was originally going to invest in a RinseKit, but the reviews on their units are very spotty, and as they're expensive, I'm not willing to pull the trigger. Sooo... I've decided to go for the KISS principle instead, and save a few bucks to boot. I'll be getting an Ivation water pump/shower...

As the title stated, I have questions regarding both domiciles & car insurance. So I'll break this message into 2 parts... First...after studying up a bit (via Escapees website) on getting domiciled in another state, I'm still a bit confused. Here are my questions... I currently have health...

@ColoRockiesFan "I am a bit late to this thread but I thought I’d add my story. I sold my 2017 Subaru to Carvana in June for an insane amount of money. I spent the next 5 months looking for a used, affordable Town & Country. After multiple car inspections I finally found a fantastic 2015 T&C...

I recognize that most of the dyed-in-the-wool, longtime nomads on here are mostly clustered out west, but was wondering if any bounce around the northeast at all? As in NJ, PA, NY, DE, etc. If so, as I'll be going full-time by early spring of 2022, I wouldn't mind meeting up with other kindred...

Hey guys, happy new year's eve! Out of an abundance of safety (and my own OCD tendencies, lol), I've researched this topic to DEATH over the last few months. Seems opinions are about split online, in various forums, blogs, etc. So... Is it safe to store propane tanks inside of a vehicle? If...

@scaredycat72 "The car is 14 years old so it's going to have issues. Plus if the seller was a scammer, he wouldn't have told you any of that information and he definitely wouldn't be holding the car for inspection. Your original post just said cars were selling sight unseen, which means he could...

@tx2sturgis TMNJ...did you buy it? What happened? Closure dude...we gotta have closure.... Hey everyone! Hope you are all having an excellent holiday season!!! I am SO sorry for leaving this thread hanging. Just now checking in again after almost 7 or 8 weeks, and as a few members were...

UPDATE #2: Inspector went out today as scheduled, and I got his report back about an hour ago. This was my 2nd time using Lemon Squad to inspect a vehicle, and both times I was very impressed. They are definitely pricey, but the cost is well worth it when it involves a big purchase. Especially...

@morgana, @tx2, @calaveras - You guys are right. I'm not going to find the PRECISE car I want in this market, especially with the time crunch I'm under. I have to take what I can get and make do with it. So... The inspection still stands, as I certainly wasn't going to cancel it and lose $175...
