    I was going to do Van Life but went the OTR route as a company driver. Good so far.

    LTVA - Black Tank Question

    Just a quick note about pumps..They can suck very short distance but can pump a lot further. How far is measured in head, so a pump rated 20 feet can pump strait up 20 feet any down or strait distance does add some resistance, so does pipe diameter but not nearly as much. You will find the...

    New idea for using a motorcycle/trailer.

    Lisen to this guy he is spot on. I would add pulling a trailer with say a van will hurt your milage, but if say the trailer was say a kitchen or tool hauler with an easy way to remove the bike, it might be justified. Single axle 8 by 10 ramp back door with a side door?? I think Bob had one and...

    Motorcycle to use as a "toad" with van

    The newer bikes seem built with noise in mind most you can't tell if they are running. But let's be honest it's only good for recreation or mobility reasons. I can put more supplies in a van and a van is more secure than most motorcycles you could mount on your front bumper. But hey who doesn't...

    Motorcycle to use as a "toad" with van

    Here my experience where I live. I had 2 e bikes ($2.4K each) one folding the other not. On the roads the e bikes are more dangerous than a bike bc cars don't expect you to move that fast. Then there is all the problems that come with a bicycle. As for maintenance good luck finding someone who...

    $1500 budget, Jackery Expoler 2000 or Zendure SuperBase Pro 2000?

    My intention was not to "FUD". I have 40 wish years living / working off batteries / generators. Less than a year with solar gave it away bc I was too mobile and was able to get power from a engine / generator. There comes a time when you have to cut your losses, upgrade / replace. I am big on...

    Which would you choose and why? Class c RV or medium travel trailer

    So If you would answer. Do you use paid only camping / overnight parking? Is your size really limited you that much if you stick to small towns?

    Which would you choose and why? Class c RV or medium travel trailer

    I realize there's a little or no stealth value but if you keep it in good repair. What hassles do you get locating free parking/camping? Also have you run into problems with campground saying your rig is too old?

    $1500 budget, Jackery Expoler 2000 or Zendure SuperBase Pro 2000?

    Great you want the cheapest packaged unit / box. At the end of the day profit is made some where. I've been burned by lithium-ion, so they're not my thing. Look up their safety record / requirements, look at their cold weather performance a.k.a. charging. I think going cheap on batteries period...

    Power engineer here, If you have an RV you should have capacity for on board batteries. The weight will not make a difference in gas milage. Use wet batteries if vent to the outside and AGM if not will will save a huge chunk of change. These boxes are nothing more than a marketing ploy. Your RV...
