A large part of the Lower Mainland part of British Columbia is under water and bridges and highways connecting us with the rest of BC and the rest of Canada are damaged beyond immediate repair.  While surrounded by water, but protected by a dike, a huge RV dealership looked OK.  Hundreds of RVs...

I saw this on another platform on the internet and couldn't resist the temptation to share it.  If its plagiarism, I'll take the blame.  If it's awesome, I can't take the credit. I AM NOT HOMELESS! I had a fantastic conversation with the rep of the local homeless several months back. She has...

I'm not sure where I started but, as my mind and curser wandered around and followed different links I eventually ended up here. Gypsy Roma and Traveller History and Culture | The Traveller Movement It describes a history of centuries of different racial and social groups who have lived on the...

Hi, The other day, while browsing for vehicles, I typed Unimog into Craigslist because I really like Unimogs, not because I think it would be a practical choice.  There is a really nice, well maintained, 1990, former ambulance for sale for just under $120,000.  Yup, 6 digits.  I looked at the...

It's very understated on the website but, BC has some of the best remote and backcountry camping sites there are.  The website introduction says; "B.C. offers a host of exceptional recreation opportunities. While some of the province’s most spectacular recreation features are located in parks...

This is about a totally solar powered motorhome built by technology students in the Netherlands.  According to the article it is currently on its 1500 mile shakedown cruise between the Netherlands and Spain.   It will NOT DO STEALTH.  I wouldn't go too far off the paved roads.  The design is a...

It's not a sport for the faint of heart but it is kind of amusing. https://fb.watch/7pn8v-8ZUe/ MG

For a few decades, hitting the road meant folding or removing a car seat, filling the space with a piece of plywood and a sleeping bag, throwing in some camping gear and leaving.  I've had a deep cycle battery for years that I charged at home or sometimes with jumper cables out the window and...

It was a busy day on a busy highway and I was the first on the scene.  They could only have been seconds ahead of me.  Four people and 3 dogs.  Two people were taken to hospital, one was for stitches only and the other was to also have a closer look at her ankle. I can't say for sure what...

The following is a link to an article about finding places to camp for free and some of the resources available to help with the task.  Seems to me it will be very helpful to people starting out or making a summertime test trip.  There is probably something useful for most other people as well. ...

I just finished reading all 23 pages of the first thread in this section; (How much solar do I need?"  I don't have any questions.  I do, however,  have some observations that might be helpful. There were several mentions of the devices often referred to as solar generators.  The ads for these...

In BC we've just gone through a heat wave that has broken all high temperature records for the whole country.  The community that broke ALL records for the whole country ever, 3 days in a row, was then engulfed in a wildfire an the third day.  There have been about 700 deaths attributed to the...

In the search for the next step in my on-board electrical system, I discovered the smart trolling battery box.  These are boxes that you put your own battery in.  At one end of the scale are boxes with an outlet for your electric boat motor and a voltage meter.  At the other end are boxes like...

I just watched the video and read about this.  I occasionally pondered something a bit like this when I used to travel a lot by bicycle.  I thought people would find it interesting whether they want one or not.  Here's the link to the new expanding trailer from France. 3X Expandable Travel...

In past decades my road trips involved throwing some things in the car and going.  Some of the things included a 2x6 foot piece of plywood, a deep cycle battery that occasionally got topped up with jumper cables and a small plastic ammo box with inverter, 12 volt and USB outlets hooked up to a...

I'm not there yet but, I've been reading and thinking about refrigeration and solar power, among many other things. This obviously led me to the UNICEF website.  Actually, a teensy, tiny memory of something I heard on the radio a decade or 2 ago led me to UNICEF.  As you've probably heard...

I'm currently installing a deep cycle battery and isolator in my car for road trips.  For years I've used a 7Ah gel cell in a small ammo box with lights, 12v and USB outlets.  At home it plugs into a small solar panel in a window in case of power outages. In the car I built a cord to charge it...

I followed a CBC Radio program to the website and have been bouncing around it like a bug on a hot stove.  The video of treesprite's Kia almost brought me to my knees.  My Sportage has a bed on the folded down rear seat and I've been looking at the wasted space being taken up by the 2 seats I...
