    Where to find cushions for a bed.

    I have a full futon mattress but I need it split in two to use my bed design. Where do you find rv cushions? Or an upholsterer who will split the futon? In AZ right now near Parker.

    make Phone mount for Van dash

    I just tried my vent mount on the van and it doesn't work! Worked great in my car. Not sure what my solution will be. Way to think outside the box.

    Convince me not to

    It all depends on your personal feelings. No one can tell you yes or no. It is your choice. Now that we have established it as your choice, why are you doing it? To find happiness? That comes from within. Know why you are doing it, what you want to accomplish by doing it. If you don't know...

    Who's behind your user name

    I love the color red, and Rojo is Spanish for red. It's also the first two letters of my first (RO) and middle name (JO). Zoso is because I'm a Led Zeppelin fan.

    Help me decide on a heater?

    I ended up going with the Chinese diesel heater as well, supplemented by a Mr Buddy junior for those times when I need heat fast. I feel good about this set up.

    Checking out first vehicle

    I looked all over for a van and the ones I found were in different locations, so I used YourMechanic and LemonSquad to conduct vehicle inspections for me. Not as good as being there, but they do an efficient job of taking lots of photos and going through a 150 pt inspection. I was satisfied...

    best year for GM van

    It's weird when I did a search of these vans on car complaint website, the odd number years 05,07,09,11,13 had less reported issues than even numbered years. I have been pricing these, and $10k should find you what you are looking for.

    Gas Pump Credit Card Skimmers

    I have always checked for skimmers, but I got nailed in Vegas by one. The other time my card number was stolen was from a restaurant. Never use a debit card is my best advice. Or pay cash.

    Question on residency

    I remember when I moved to Vegas in 2000, had a brand new truck, and my insurance went from $50/mo in rural Oregon to $180/mo in Vegas. So ideally yes, you want a remote location for permanent address. Oregon has some of the lowest vehicle registration rates in the country. Unless that's...

    Question on residency

    I live in Las Vegas. I'll be getting my van soon. Vegas is not the ideal place to register due to insurance and smog testing. I have family in both Oregon and Washington. I searched on this forum if anyone used either of these states and found nothing. My options are move address to Pahrump...

    Just a little advice.

    You are in a better situation than I am. I concur, rent the house out and travel. You can re-assess next year. You might stumble across a property/area that you'd like to stay in. Best to keep all options available during transition.

    Nomadic Enigmatics' 2019 van build dates announced

    That sounds fantastic! I should be starting my build in October and hopefully it will be finished by then. I have my nephews helping me out which is lucky. If I'm ready I'll come down and help. Or get help lol. I'm no expert for sure.

    PSA - Participant Beware

    That's part of life no matter where or who. People march to the beat of their own drummer. I've had personal relationships that have failed for one reason or another. I was divorced twice! That doesn't affect who I am or who I want to be. My journey is the one I have to live with. If being...

    Help me decide on a heater?

    I've narrowed my choices down to a Propex propane heater ($720) and a Wave 3 ($180). I'm leaning toward the Propex in case I'm in the Pac NW during winter, for holidays and stuff. I want something where I can set the temp at 68 and can leave on at night. I don't think the Wave 3 does this.
