Tonight is Tuesday.... van life chat night!!! I'm writing this in hopes that it helps me remember to go there. I greatly enjoy it, but as it starts at 9pm my time I seem to forget. I'm going to also write myself a note!

Last night I watched a video about a husband and wife who live full-time in a 6x10 cargo trailer, I wanted to show it to my wife but now I can't find it. The trailer had a shower, an inline water heater, a queen-sized bed that folds to a couch, and the rear door was a ramp type that they use as...

As many of you know, one of the biggest hassles while traveling is keeping food cold in a cooler. The ice melts, food gets wet, and sometimes finding ice is even difficult. So, during my recent road trip I found myself wanting to figure out how to use a mini-fridge in either the "cramper" of the...

Is this what I want to use to make the walls and roof of my "foamie" truck camper? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-FOAMULAR-NGX-F-150-1-5-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-SSE-R-7-5-XPS-Rigid-Foam-Board-Insulation-88WDNGX/315197857

I think I may build a pop-top truck camper for my Ranger before my next road trip. I've decided I'd like to be able to stand up, which I cannot do with my current setup. I'll go with a pop-top because of height when traveling concerns. Due to weight considerations, I'm thinking of using as much...

If you use a shower tent, how do you get dressed after your shower? Do you take clothes in the tent with you, perhaps in a plastic bag, or do you get dressed back in your vehicle? I'm thinking ahead here as I will be taking a multi-week road trip in the fall of 2022.

The idea for a road trip came about very quickly after I bought my 2005 Ford Ranger 4x4 with 80,000 miles on it.  I bounced all kinds of ideas around my brain about how I could do it, and not spend a ton of money in the process; everything from a topper to making my own slide-in camper. I ended...

I'm leaving in 10 days for a trip from Maine to Florida (I know...wrong season for that direction) and plan to mostly stay at Cabella's and Cracker Barrells, but I'd like to cook most of my meals in my truck topper... I wouldn't want to do that at Cracker Barrell certainly, but  how about...

I love the ARE-type "walk-in" door on the back of a truck cap, but, of course, my old freebie cap doesn't have that feature. I'm wondering if any of you have seen a DIY version of these doors because I'm thinking of trying to make one. I would remove the tailgate and just build a new back that...

Hi all. Too many responsibilities to ever be a full-timer, but I am setting up my pickup with a cap for a 3-week road trip to GA and FL this spring. Then I have a one-week fishing trip planned in July. After that, I guess we'll see what happens. I live in Maine, married to a woman who has no...
