    Opolar fans

    So after seeing many people mention how good the Opolar 10000 mAh fans are I ordered one from Amazon and then immediately wished I'd ordered two.  Amazon seems to have dropped the line right after I ordered mine they went 'unavailable'.  I paid $30 for mine. Someone was asking what's a good fan...

    Magnets

I have some screening material and I ordered a pack of 16 rare earth magnets, 1.25" round N52.  Well, they came today and I cannot...

    Synthetic or conventional motor oil?

    I got my '97 Grand Caravan (newest vehicle I've ever owned actually) last November and am ready for another oil change.  The gentleman I bought it from said he had been using conventional oil and he wouldn't use synthetic and proceeded to spend about 5 minutes telling me why and I can't remember...

    Eating with the seasons

    We have our first heat wave ramping up and yesterday I got a craving for something I haven't made in a long time.  It's a chopped salad with shrimp added.  English cucumber, cauliflower, red pepper, carrots, radishes, green onions all diced up and small chunks of iceberg lettuce.  I made half...

    How many people?

    I was thinking last night about what camping/living situation I'd need to feel perfectly comfortable.  For me it would be being able to see a few more rigs at a little distance.  I'm pretty much a recluse, but I do like to know there are other people not too far away. I don't mean I don't ever...

    Minivans-bed behind the driver's or passenger's seat and why?

    I'm watching one of Bob's videos about making a plywood bed frame for a minivan.  In it he mentions that the owner wants the bed behind the passenger seat and that it's unusual to want it on that side. Which side do you minivan owners have your bed on?  Any particular reason for one side or the...

    What are you reading?

    I love reading threads because they allow me to add to my wanted list.   :D  I don't remember where I saw this book mentioned but I ordered it from our library.  They didn't have it in any of the branches so they ordered it from the interlibrary loan system and it came to me in North Central WA...

    Dentistry in Mexico

    I think I remember seeing in the book Nomadland about a group from the RTR going to a town just over the border for cheap dentistry. Has anyone here ever got teeth extracted and dentures there?  I wonder if instant dentures are available too. Dentistry is so outrageously expensive here I can...

    Window coverings dilemma

    So my minivan is like, ALL windows.  I've watched countless videos to make coverings and made note of what other people have done.  I can't seem to come up with a good, workable idea. The very back windows are quite large too, rough is 38x18 and the hatch is roughly 50x20.  And the back windows...

    Another newbie!

    Hi everyone! Late last year one of my kiddos was having housing issues.  Her sister suggested vandwelling and linked us both to the Reddit sub.  Got my interest up and I've been reading over there ever since.  A friend of ours caught wind of it and one day he sent me a link to a white Grand...
