To be clear, my van journey never actually began to be able to actually "hang it up". Life happened. Over the course of a couple years, some events and developments took place to ultimately alter perspective and looks to be steering my life in a different direction. Van life was actually...

My uncle, who was building a van just like me, passed away and my aunt gave me his BRAND NEW toilet. I do have a space I can squeeze in a tiny bathroom, shower area in my van, however.... It is not self composting, it has a flush tank. Should I sell it and reserve the space for other use? I...

I have two brand spankin new Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. I don't know a lot about batteries in general, but they've been sitting in my room until the wintery weather and it's time for them to "leave". I'm not ready to use them still, but how low of an overnight temperature is dangerous...

Has anyone been to Slab City. I'm asking for do's and don'ts, general advise about going there. I heard there's a lot of drug crime (to be expected). Can I go there (are they welcoming to outsiders?) I know nothing about the place, and figured first hand experience was better than Googling.

I haven't looked into it too much. Does anyone have a moisture barrier below their laminate flooring. I have 3/4" plywood as my sub floor. I'm installing the floor today and thought I'd ask before I go ham installing it.

I had some health problems with a family member come up that required me to house and dog sit for 3 months. I have not hooked up my solar yet, as I have had other commitments after that are priority over the build. I've been nervous about the my panels sitting idle with no connection. The are...

I've been away from the forum a while. I also had to step away from my build. Back in January my aunt became ill and I had to house-sit and dog sit. It was out in the middle of farm country, and I had limited opportunities to leave the house. So, a three month delay. I had also met someone...

Any well enjoyed recommendations for stops, aside from Roswell, Carlsbad, and White Sands?

Just out of curiosity, are there any virtual bookkeepers out there? Rabbit

I have a 95' G10. For the sake of simplicity and limited skills, I cut my tongue and groove boards to fasten to the last rib (the one almost at the center of the wheel well). Had I not cut them they would have protruded past and made the build awkward, plus there's nothing to fasten them to...

I welcome any and all to overwhelm me with a list of skate parks across the southwest/western region of the United States. Do your worst. Thanks, Rabbit

Can anyone recommend entry level online work opportunities that are for sure looking for people without previous experience? I feel such work is a fit for me with my intent to travel and relocate. I've watched YouTube videos on Virtual Customer Service roles, Chat customer service...

Could people please list online, entry level work opportunities. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos. I'd love to virtual chat customer service, or get on the Amazon boat, but I am open to all opportunities. Seeing if there's anything I missed.

Please recommend a hammock for under $100(if that exists)

I'm changing careers.  I have two choices.  One is design.  I'm definitely a novice but absolutely love it and would love to immerse myself into an education about it, in school or solo. I've been asking questions.  So far, I've gone to 2 forums of seasoned, professional designers who have been...

Wishing the Van Dwelling community a very Happy, and Healthy Thansgiving. I'm grateful for how welcoming the community has been, and for all the help I've received.  I'll send up prayers for your safe travels, and for safe companionship as well. Be well, Rabbit

You are invited to participate in a survey!!! :( It pays nothing. I have only two options I can afford for heating.   Option A - Mr. Heater Portable Buddy  Option B - My uncle passed away, my aunt gifted me a wood stove, larger than Cubic mini (aprrox. 1' x 2'), not really that heavy.  This...

My sub floor is the sections of 3/4" plywood. I have been fervently cautioned not to screw it down. I've also been told that once all the weight is on top of it, it should stay down with a snug fit I have Kilmat covering 90% of the floor or whatever the manufacturers recommendation was (I...

I'm on the final stretch in building my van.  For family reasons I'm sticking around until after the Holidays, so midnight December 31st is my finish deadline.  The country isn't the worst it could, but lets face it, its not good.  Inflation, gas prices can't be trusted and have proven to get...

Upon other Van Dweller's wisdom I have decided to veer away from fastening 1x2's to my van floor using self tapping screws.  I have instead, per suggestion, gone with Liquid Nail.  My van floor is covered almost entirely with Kilmat. There's really not many wood to metal routes I can go that...
