I was considering getting a non vented (to the outside) Buddy Heater just to have it in my arsenal of equipment. I will be staying somewhere next month for a few weeks where getting a port (hole through a wall etc) to run a diesel heater pipe to the outside might be very challenging. So I was...

Like Coffee? Me too. I like fresh hot coffee with Hazelnut creamer whipped up in a milk frother in the morning with a thin slice of lemon pound cake. Mmmmm! So I have this nice little machine called a Miroco Milk Frother and recently it started acting up so I decided to repair it...

Hello, I've seen a lot of comments here and there regarding the cost to heat with diesel fuel vs the cost to heat with propane. I kinda wanted to know empirically. I "think" I've done a fair analysis so let me share it here......(for those who give a hoot) :unsure: Diesel Fuel BTU's in a gallon...

I still haven't bought one. Keep looking at them and reading the reviews and all.  So many choices. I keep thinking that it's not worth pluinking down the gold for a cheaper (less than $700) fridge. Seems the ones under $500 just don't last. So I've been using my Igloo 28Qt (yep, too small)...

I see quite a few posts where people live in a Prius. I would think Dodge Caravans are also quite popular. What are the most popular / most often seen vehicles used for RV Dwelling on a budget (ie....under 30k?)

For COLD weather...... (30F to 40F) Anyone have this? Any reason it would not work well for a temporary (removable bedding solution) I have two 5/8inch closed foam cell pads I can put on top of it to help0 with insulation. That'll give me nearly an inch and a quarter of good padding and...

Hello, I thought I'd run this question and see if anyone has first hand experience. So I made a custom set of window coverings for my 2006 Dodge Caravan.  They have 1 inch of polyester batting inside (I think IIRC) and heavy fabric on both sides. Now I'm wondering it it's better overall to put...

Time flies, we MUST be having fun ! It may still be hot where you are....but cooler weather is closing in fast for many. August will be winding down in a couple more weeks, then September arrives. With it the beginning of the cooler season for many. Time to finish up those repairs and...

I've always lived in warm climates.  anything below 70F starts to feel cold for me. But lately, with the way the world is changing, I'm yearning to go to places and spaces where there are fewer people, and usually that means colder places. I see videos of Foresty Forest, who lives in a...

Just wondering if any of you Van Lifers ended up in the Van Life due to sudden or unexpected changes in your life related to your relationship with your spouse or partner?

Occasionally I run across a situation where I'm almost certain that a deliberate act of short changing has taken place. Both times it was at a fast food joint drive through. On both occasions, the window cashier acted a bit strange, (yes, you can get training to identify unusual behavior, ask...

Yesterday I received a new, Bestek 500watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter from Amazon. As always, I put every inverter I receive through a battery of tests including a load test and oscilloscope wave form test. This one failed in the wave form test badly, but still passed the load tests...

Hi, This is my first post.  I came here because a few days ago I was in the North Georgia Mountains near Helen, GA and temps dropped below freezing. But even a few days later when it only dropped to 44 degrees at night, I was still freezing. I have a properly working 5KW Diesel heater that puts...
