I didn't mean to put up a 2 star rating on this thread, and I don't know how to remove it, sorry! Maybe a moderator can remove it?

I've been using Visible for three months now, was streaming YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram videos thru my phone's hotspot to my Amazon tablet with no problems on BLM land on the shores of Walker Lake Nevada last night. I bought the ghost pepper phone $179, after paying second month's service...

Thanks for that info HDR. Are there any US manufacturers of chest size compressor units left?

FYI - all these compressors are now made in China, Danfoss was sold and renamed Seecop, and the manufacturing moved to China. There is plenty of info about it with a quick Google search. That's why all the knockoffs like Alpicool have proliferated over the past few years, once manufacturing...

Nice Juan Knucklehead!

Beware of gloves, they are a placebo! You touch the outside of them when you put them on, so they are contaminated right away! Not to mention the outside of a box of gloves clearly states "Non-Sterile"! I managed restaurants for years, and fought against gloves the entire time. I caught...

I like it! You build it, I'll buy you all the aspirin you need!

A hybrid cargo van would be a very different kind of hybrid. It would basically require Tesla level power built into the two motor/generators, and probably a standard ICE rather than the Atkinson cycle used in a Prius, not to mention a battery at least half the size of a current Tesla. I...

So I'm in Vegas right now, working a week doing Postmates deliveries, and stealth camping.  Daytime temps are still over 100F, nighttime drops down to mid 80s.  I normally get a bit over 40mpg (my prius is 13 years old, so no 50mpg for me).  Doing deliveries all day and using AC set to 74F...

MrNoodly, You have to be an expert on this subject! Thanks!!!

Just an update. I am still doing Postmates, and I added Door Dash too. I'm mostly doing Postmates because I seem to get better tips on it than on Door Dash, and Door Dash has scheduling issues that make it more difficult to work when you want. I'm currently in Vegas visiting friends/family...

Sounds like you're all set JennyJ, and kudos to you for testing everything out first. Don't be surprised at how much your plans change, you'll find the best fit for everything as you travel and try moving things around. Have you considered using a Kindle type app to replace those books? I...

Found another use last night while sleeping in a Pilot parking lot in my Prius. The Prius has a long thin rear window below the spoiler, and my current reflectix press-fit doesn't stay up (gotta add a bit to it, or use plastic cards to hold it in place). Quick fix with the pool noodle to bend...

I had my first truck stop shower yesterday at a Pilot in Las Vegas. $12.00, spotless showers, towels provided, AWESOME water pressure, and no wait at 10pm. I have to say I was impressed! I had visions of park bathrooms in my mind for some reason, but I was very wrong! Sleeping in the parking...

That's the coolant control valve, it is not too difficult to replace yourself.  There are lots of YouTube videos that walk you thru it, takes a first timer maybe a couple of hours going slow.  Cost of the part is less than $100.

All the major cell phone companies offer a WiFi hotspot device that requires its own cellular connection, and then can be used by multiple devices in your van just like your home WiFi router. The connection quality will depend on the cellular service where you are at that time. I'm just...

Even if not available here, that Reddit link always has parties looking for one more!

Danfoss was bought in 2010 by a German based multinational, then absorbed into Seecop (sp?), and manufacturing moved to China. That's why you see so many cheap compressor fridges theses days, the design has been "borrowed". The question remains, how long will they last? I've heard of Engels and...

One slot left at https://www.visible.com/p/PaintedHighways BTW- I've been using visible for a few days now while doing Postmates and Door Dash, no issues, no dead zones, it's better and it's cheaper than my previous service!
