I was following a pickup with a camper shell today, and it was towing a smallish utility trailer. The trailer was weaving back and forth. I have never seen this problem on the road myself, only in online videos. Two questions: 1) What causes this? 2) What can you do to prevent it?

People here have posted that it is difficult -- if not impossible -- to change insurance coverage when you convert a cargo van or a box truck to an RV. I do understand that to be considered a true RV, insurance companies require that your conversion have a regular toilet and holding tank, etc...

The idea of a tiny wood stove in a larger van intrigues me. I think I've read that you do need to keep a window cracked for a supply of oxygen. But do the stoves have some sort of air-intake opening to feed the fire? I'm wondering if any of the tiny wood stoves happen to have an opening in or...

I just want to make sure everyone knows about the GasBuddy website for checking on the best gas prices. Just search "Gasbuddy, town, state". Understand that these prices are the CASH prices, not the debit or credit card prices, which maybe up to 50¢ more per gallon.

I've watched several self-defense videos where car-jackers and other criminals wait for people to either put their vehicle in park or turn off the ignition (whichever triggers the doors to automatically unlock), and then they attack. I believe vehicles 2018+ have this feature. A friend of mine...

I am badly electronically challenged 🙄, so please keep any responses as simple as possible. I just ran across something called an AirTag, that you can use for tracking. Could it be used for a van or RV if it's stolen?

I can't find this. I would like to know how wide a larger Sprinter van is, inside, just ABOVE the wheel wells. All I can find is the width between the wheel wells.

22-year-old Gabby Petito is missing.  She is blonde, with blue eyes, 5'5" tall.  She has a triangle tattoo with flowers on her left arm, and a "Let it be" tattoo on her right arm. She was traveling with boyfriend Brian Laundrie starting early in July, going from Florida to New York, to Salt...

Some time ago, I ran across an odd thing, and wonder if anyone could identify what it is. It was a still photo of the front end hitch of a trailer, but the caption was not talking about the Odd Thing. It looked like a smooth, fitted metal cover for a trailer hitch, maybe brass, possibly to...

From what I understand, most states require newcomers to get their vehicles licensed there if they stay for 30 days. Does anyone do that?  For instance, suppose you spend winter in AZ, and then you go to OR for the rest of the year? If you're a careful, non-aggressive driver, you might be able...

I just ran across this gadget .  There seem to be several versions, priced from $10 to $40. It has a lot of tiny fingers that you line up, and then press the edge against the area that you want to capture (like a van wall curve, or a section of the inner frame). It looks handy, but is it long...

Does anyone know of a folding chair that's actually comfortable?  (And not too expensive.)

Does anyone know of a folding chair that's actually comfortable?

Has anyone ever compared gas mileage difference between these two varieties of fuel? Just curious.

I would like to know the interior width of one of the larger Ford Transits, between the vertical wall supports, just ABOVE the wheel wells. The Ford websites only seem to give the distance between the wheel wells, which isn't what I want. Thanks!

Just wondering, right now..... Is it feasible to put solar panels on top of a cargo trailer and use the power inside the van?  Can you connect the two, reasonably?

Would flexible solar panels work on a curved roof?

Several years ago a reputable electronics freak told me that he carries 2 cell phones, a Verizon and a TracFone. He said that Verizon has cell towers in all of the populated areas, but he still found himself in areas with no signal.  (He travelled A LOT.) Then he learned to carry a TracFone...

Everyone who has boondocked in an area without tap water knows the nuisance of maintaining an adequate water supply, so I'm wondering if any of you have collected rainwater for drinking, cooking and washing?  Fact: Rainfall is the purest natural source of water on this planet, cleaner than any...

I'm asking this here as a last resort, as no one else seems to know. You have a S&B house. You get power from the local company. The company charges 12 cents per KW. You have a 1500 kw space heater. The heater has 12 levels from low to high. The Question:  If you run the heater at 6, does it...
