    Probably leaving the forum

    Its been a few months since the forum was sold. Now I'm getting direct messages asking me to contribute to keep the forum viable? (More than once I might ad) Sorry, that chore is on the owners of the forum. If people want to pay money to gain access to value added features that is great. I am...

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    My mother before she passed away had a limited income. Maybe close to $900 - $1100 a month. It drove me and my sister crazy because she would do all these things cheaply, and we would help out by paying for things here and there. Doing the yard work or clearing snow so she didn't have to pay...

    Encountering COVID restrictions while traveling

    Just getting ready to leave NYC. Since it turned into "better get the sleeping bag out tonight" weather. Wondering if there are COVID restrictions in place as you travel into certain states? Mostly wondering about rest areas, cafes and restaurants. As those are the places I like to make use...

    MIFI-Hotspots that run off 12v?

    Looking up MIFI/Hotspot routers. The kind you can mount in your vehicle, not the kind you carry around in a briefcase. Not sure if Amazon has accurate info because all of them either say 120v or 100-240V for powering. That sucks! When my electrical system is finished it should have no problem...

The Ford Transit has 4 oblong holes in the bulkhead sides in...

    install in phases instead of all at once.

    Here is my idea. Right now I want to install just a charge controller, inverter and one LiFePo battery. Then later on add a 2nd battery and 2-4 PV panels. My current shopping list is something like; Renogy DCC30S 12V 30A Dual Input DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT Renogy 12V 100Ah...

    Ikea 12V LED lights in Van?

    Curious if anyone has tried the Ikea DIODER LED strip lights. It comes with a little AC adapter that converts 120V AC to 12V DC for home use. But it should be possible to cut out the middleman and just whack that right in to the 12V of the vehicle. Thinking about mounting a pair of those down...

    sub floor plywood?

    Couldnt find a better category. Assume it logically goes with insulation, since the point of a sub floor is to have insulation under it right? Anyway, I'm well aware of Baltic Birch ply, but that seems to be in short supply. Any preferences between maple pine and oak plywood? My plan it to...
