Yes, Zelle is the same as a bank wire transfer. Wells Fargo and other major banks let you do this online... seller's account direct into buyer's account. The buyer can also bring a paper certified bank check made out to the seller... here, the buyer has first given the money to his bank, which...

Yes, it's perfect (to me). Love the style. And so perfect for stealth sleeping. In places like Del Mar, California, where they write huge tickets for any RVs parked on their streets for more than four hours. But the Ford TC cargo van slips under the radar... it's just sort of there, un-noticed...

Inspired last night by a shot of Old Overholt here in Tombstone AZ, I realized that the perfect vehicle is a 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect cargo van. And since I own one, let me tell you why. First, if it has dents and dings, no matter. It is not a Ferrari, always kept in a garage to protect...

I have an old 24’ Lazy Daze, which lets me stay in national parks with <25’ space limits. It is a 1991 with a Chevy 454 V8, so I could tow a car with it... but that would be too much trouble. There's no perfect length, but I wish Lazy Daze would make a smaller Class C, at 18-20’. Handier in...

My God, it is absolutely beautiful. But am afraid to call and ask the price, lest I have a broken heart and need a trip to our hospital in a far lesser conveyance. This is the epitome of anti-stealth. And big Cadillacs are totally stable over 100 mph, unlike our windblown vans and RVs. So...

Ooohh... an XLT, wow! Envy, mine's the base model. You'll love the TC... perfect balance, a real driver's vehicle. Designed by John Broadley at Ford of England, son of Eric Broadley who made the Lola racing cars. You can tell the heritage — every control is placed exactly right. All the small...

With a 1991 24’ Lazy Daze RV, and a 2013 Ford Transit Connect, I think sometimes about splitting the length difference and getting a van. Definitely one that I could stand up in... let's say 6’2” floor to ceiling. And the shortest van possible, given that height. Other considerations: I don't...

Cam — that ten-year rule is so weird. To the uninitiated, all RVs look the same, with the newer ones having different graphics. But hey, it's a box on a truck, or it's a van. Go figure. I'm with you on public land... so many beautiful options! Plus peace and quiet. If we are trying to get away...

A Class C... The smaller the better. Many of our older national and state parks can’t handle anything larger than 25’.... my ‘91 Lazy Daze, at 23’, barely fits in the parking spaces at Chiricahua National Park, here in Cochise County, Arizona. Class C's are much stronger, being built on light...

My bet is that we will have electric cars in the cities and built-up areas, and hybrid cars, vans, and trucks in our more open spaces... in 10 years, that will be the mix. All-gasoline and all-diesel will go away. I look at the Prius car as the future... they are dependable and very...

Same here, with a 2013 Transit Connect, 28-30 mpg at 50-55 mph. Also for 2-3 day camping on state and BLM land here in Arizona, stealth if I go overnight to some city, like San Diego. To live in full-time? No... I’d want a van that I could stand up in, like the Ford Transit or Nissan.

And aesthetics are personal opinions. I derive equal pleasure from looking at my little blue 1910 house and at my little blue 1991 Lazy Daze. Both are excellent functional designs; both are far superior aesthetically to any crowded suburban tract home. There are other old RVs and trailers here...

I live in Tombstone, Cochise County, AZ. True, you can only live in your RV while building your home. But we are a poor town, in spite of the tourism. Poor, like other small towns around here. And who would have the heart to throw someone out of the only place they could call home? Recently, a...

Slow — she hasn't saved much. Car payment, food for dog, gas, etc, etc. We've all been there, one time or another. The goddess Fortuna spins her wheel, and sometimes we are up, other times down. Life!

As for rent, landlords are making up for losses due to Covid. For both rent and home prices — in 2008, the Federal Reserve started an emergency lending program... PDCF, the Primary Dealer Credit Facility... that let large lenders borrow more govt money to stimulate housing after the Crash. The...

Wow! $50,000 for a little trailer with 5 hours of power for normal appliances. Can it be said — Solar sucks? Such a small amount of energy falling on one square yard of earth. Here in Tombstone, the Town Too Tough To Die, we might have to get out our Colts and hijack the next Tesla that comes...

JJ — very impressive! You know, I think our society will be different once RV manufacturers start building solutions like yours into their vehicles. What a treat to be able to stay anywhere as long as you want without a noisy generator!

Frater, you're right. I just checked out the large 343 lb. Tesla Powewall home battery. ”Powerwall batteries that are connected to the grid can now deliver 7.6 kW of continuous power when the sun is shining, and 5.6 kW with no sun. This means one Powerwall can run lights, electrical outlets, and...

I have an old 1991 Lazy Daze. Enjoy going off the grid with it, like on BLM or State land here in Arizona. Question — if I win the lottery, is there a huge battery... at whatever price... that would let me go out for a week in summer or winter, with full air conditioning and/or heating, plus all...

I live in Tombstone, and go south now and then about 50 miles to little Naco, west of Agua Prieta. Several pharmacies, very low prices, a nice small town. And no problems going across or coming back. But! DO NOT bring a gun or ammunition into Mexico. The Mexican border police will probably look...
