    Veterans Day

    Probably won't happen in my lifetime, but Ms. Gabbard is a woman I would stand in line all day for to vote in as our first woman POTUS. She has what it takes, hands down...

    Wheelchair accessible travel trailers

    Nice to know there are resources for accessible travel and living in a vehicle. Unfortunately, from my own experiences, this accessibility comes at a steep cost; putting the dream of traveling while handicapped out of reach for so many folks. I'm currently using an outdated and no longer...

    Digikey

    Never worked for them but the company I worked for ordered much electronic gadgetry and widgets from them frequently, with good results. Not surprised to hear they're "tightening the belt" at their employee's expense...

    Insulated coffee mug

    Go Yeti and never drink cold coffee again! Unless you like it that way, too... https://www.yeti.com/drinkware/mugs/21071050010.html

    What happens to old campers

    Craigslist near me usually has a free RV of some type listed. Most of the freebies are too far gone to repair or even part out, but inspecting one for its salvageable/useful parts is imperative to saving $$ over buying new. YMMV...

    Strange behavior with Battle Born battery. Battery dead when it should still have charge??

    Cold does affect batteries, and not in good ways. I'm under the impression that lithium batteries should not be discharged, often, below 50%. Hopefully it hasn't damaged the battery beyond its useful life. Best of luck, and keep us posted how this works out for you...

    New van life camping...

    I have been a fan of MV Lee for years. She is back on her own for now, but Paul is still in her thoughts, no doubt. Whether or not they get back together is TBD! She has adopted a new dog, so mebbe not!???

    Upside down

    Welcome to the site. You have had a tough life from the words you post. Sorry to hear that, but most sorry for your children growing up in abject poverty. Don't know if your children's father(s)? can be tapped for funds, but that's worth looking into, unless it's not.? A go fund-me with your...

    Box truck clearance

    As a wc user myself, the box truck would not be an option, unless there is cab to box accessibility without going outside. Hopefully your w/c use is a temporary thing...

    emergency contact

    Sounds like you have a handle on what you were trying to accomplish.(y) Hopefully it'll now work as you desire, if/when the time comes to implement it? Unfortunately, our country's HIPPA laws stifle info sharing between hospitals and doctors, to the point of being dangerous in getting one's...

    2017 Van versus 2006 Van

    Can't help on the warranty, as all manufacturers are different in exactly what they cover and the duration of time they cover. If you are not able to give a thorough body and drivetrain evaluation on a vehicle, find someone that can before you pull the trigger on anything. It would suck to buy...

    2017 Van versus 2006 Van

    Since neither one likely come with a warranty, I'd err on the newer and lower mileage vehicle. As the old saying goes: "You either have payments or repair bills. Nobody rides for free" Best of luck in your decision...

    Share one weird/odd/unusual thing about yourself

    Was it Eddie Murphy that coined the phrase: "Stop yer grinnin' and drop yer linen"? Not a nudist, but highly admire the human, (female), body sans textiles. Weird thread that keeps getting resurrected every 2-3 years...

    Dumb dog owners

    A personal injury lawyer would likely have taken your case to go after the negligent dog owner(s), if the town/city/county didn't treat dog biting seriously. Something to think about for future reference!?

    How to avoid toxic people?

    Might cost a bit but start with an attorney. He/she will likely be able to give you answers about legally getting someone off your property without the court/sheriff intervention? Then might try air bnb? There really is no foolproof way to screen complete strangers without getting to know them...
