What I want to do, is try to cut the pieces of the bed to regular rectangles to use in my van somehow, but I'm afraid I'll ruin the upholstery. The fabric is heavy, but it's got hundreds of staples from the staple gun in it (on the back of the boards) that are going to be really hard to remove...

Here's the bed removed from the car. The head section is the width of the average camping cot, wide enough for shoulders and hips. The feet end is narrow because of contour, but not too narrow for legs and feet. The fabric is not just bedding, I actually upholstered the bed pieces like household...

Took out the floor today to get ready to put the seats back, so here it is, along with the reason it was needed. There was a back piece, but it fell off my 15th floor balcony and broke.  The floor did not go over the space behind the front seats, since I needed that space for things like using...

I love that idea of thinsulate in quilts. Last quilt I started 6 years ago.and never finished it - maybe if I ever do, I can put thinsulate in it (I used the quilt batting for my Kia Soul camper bed upholstery, which had a priority over a quilt).

I had my second dose on Monday, been home from work sick the last two days, just like after the first dose. This set of side effects feels much like mild to moderate influenza, but not contagious and only lasts 2 or 3 days.

Well, I want a wood stove with a window so it's like a fireplace, but they are so expensive. I think perhaps I would be willing to do without the window to get a lower price on a wood stove if I could use the thing to have  pizza  in random places.  I'd still rather have the fireplace than the...

Those on-the-road friendships are vital. Thank you for looking after your fellow humans! I keep wondering how much longer I should put off getting one of those panic button things. I know I'll have to do it at some point. Right now I feel like I'm being paranoid, rationalizing that I don't...

Agreed 100%.

It isn't deciding who has a disability, it is deciding who can have disability income.  The federal govt gives the definition of disability in the ADA, and it is very broad. Most people who have some form of disability are still able to make some kind of income on their own if given the chance...

I never knew about the silicone in things. I use silicone for aquarium plumbing stuff. If it gets on the skin it has to be wiped off with a dry cloth before it dries or else won't come off. If it gets wet on the skin before it dries, it is even stickier and more difficult to get off. Now I'll...

I was just thinking to use it if I'm camping places in summer where it's hot. Usually 4th of July this one campground I o to has a big thing, and that location is just as hot as where I live. I usually have to pay to rent a cabin, and on the couple of occasions I only went for the day to take...

I'm envious of everyone who can just be free to go where they want when they want. I have a job that can't be done remotely, so I'm stuck in this area with unbearable summer weather that neither I nor my cats could tolerate without air conditioning for several months out of the year. If somehow...

Tossing around ideas for when there is shore power available - not for off grid. What do you think about the idea of avoiding the unsightliness of having a window AC unit sticking out of the side of a van, by installing the unit in the bulkhead wall that divides the cargo area from the...
