    Keeping a commercial or regular title on a conversion?

    Hubby and I are just about done w our not too fancy box to rv conversion and now we're at that crucial point. Do we change it? We have obvious rv windows. We plan to paint it in a 'to hell w stealth' style. But if we switch from commercial to RV, we have to give up our cheap insurance, as well...

    Okay, that was weird...

    10 pm we hit the sack. Just as I'm putting the electronics to bed, and hubby, a rather nice van pulls up next to us in an almost empty 60 car lot.  Right next to us, a little too close. As in, you'd have to squeeze to get out the driver side door.  Im sort of, okay, what ever, because i hear...

    Bit of conversion humor.

    Plywood is out of control in SoCal, maybe everywhere. An almost half inch thick 4x8 ft cheap stuff cost me 50$ a sheet right now.  Most of my project is plywood!  The box walls are only 5/8 inch thick, so I want them thicker.  I'll need frames to thicken the window space even more.  A friend...

    The Birds!

    We've only been in this as yet un insulated aluminum roofed box truck since October.  With the little pickup truck camper, we were used to squirrels and birds getting up there.  This morning at dawn just after I had set the coffee pot on the stove, thank goodnes, or I have dropped it, BOOM BOOM...

    Unwanted Assumptions Rant

    I'm in my sixties now. Honestly, for the past 8 years, bad health and age has taken its toll on me.  Im not 'pretty'.  We've been married coming up on 43 years. My hubby is rarely far from me, as he is handicapped.   I am sick to death of men assuming that because my husband was in a wheel chair...

    Stupid Question re Solar panels

    I'm agin the the stuff to start with, mainly because of ignorence, fear, and childhood sunburn.  This thing, I was told, had four panels on it.  I confirmed this and they look like the harbor freight set.  Maybe a slightly older model. ...

    Current WiFi mobile hotspot April 2021?

    I'm dating this because I keep seeing reviews and deals for mobile hotspots that are not connected to a home based service come and go in 3 months.  It turns out our reliable LG phones are going the way of the dinos as the company wants to quit the cell phone business.  Hubby will flat out melt...

    Con artist/thief.

    This is in relation to a woman we met a while back who tried to steal pretty much everything we had before returning to the desert.  Is a description allowed, because i know in all her blah blah blah she had been on this forum looking for handouts.  It's one of the reasons, other than bugging...

    Returning!

    We were members here a few years ago, but I couldn't locate the old account information.  Basically, life got hectic, then Covid.   We used the covid stimulus to buy our ex Uhaul E350 box with a 15 foot (14 really) bed.  Its a pain in the ass, the drive shaft tried to kill us a week out, but we...
