    Solar generators

    I also have an Ecoflow Delta 2. Great for many reasons but the best is the fast recharge. Now if I only had an alternator that could put out 1200 watts safely.

    Minivan, Hanging Curtains behind Driver Seat?

    I have the same issue with a 2006 Honda Odyssey. I only stealth camped in it one night. I used a pre-made front window cover from Amazon and hand made cut outs for the sides. It took a lot of figitting to get the front completely blacked out but it worked. I wonder why people a curtain cross...

    This throws a bad light on RVs. News from Seattle

    I live in Seattle in the center of the city and I have a business. Almost everyone here including myself has seen the city nosedive since we started "encouraging" houseless people to come here. We see crimes no one has ever dreamed of before. Many police officers voluntarily left after the...

    Is getting a scooter a good idea?

    I have also been considering getting a small dual sport motorbike or electric bike to stick on the back of the Odyssey so that I can get into back country. Used Hondas are so expensive now, more than new ones which you can't get. I think I would need a generator with an electric bike and extra...

    Ok, I'm pullin' the trigger on a power station........

    Congratulations on your new Delta 2. I just got the original Delta at Costco to try it out. Turns out the original Delta only has an 800 charge lifespan and the new one has 3000. For some reason the old one still costs more on the Ecoflow site than the new one! I am returning the Delta to...

    Which Vehicle to Choose for Forest Road Boondocking?

    I had never heard of this company. I checked out the site and the you videos. Very impressive! I never dreamed I could get everything for 20K and not have to do it myself. I will have to really consider it carefully with the $500 non-refundable deposit and the wait time.

    Which Vehicle to Choose for Forest Road Boondocking?

    I have thought about Sequoias. I never thought of putting a plywood top on one. That would be a pretty good idea. I am interested to hear an old van can work with 2 Wheel Drive. I wonder if anyone has recommendations for the best years to look for the best model for old vans?

    Which Vehicle to Choose for Forest Road Boondocking?

    This is an interesting solution with the 2WD Tacoma paired with the quad. Might be a little hard for stealth camping in the towns, but other than that I like the idea of a cheaper truck paired with a very capable off-road option. What kind of camper did you find that is light enough to put on...

    Which Vehicle to Choose for Forest Road Boondocking?

    This is fascinating about the forest road levels. I have never heard of that. I have made it up some pretty bad roads in my 8 inch clearance rogue. The odyssey is just horrible. I think the worst roads I have been on are in Montana but in Washington state where I live there have been some that...

    Yes there are so many options but this thread has given me years of knowledge

    Which Vehicle to Choose for Forest Road Boondocking?

    Newbie here. For that last few years I was under the illusion that I might be able to modify my 2006 Honda Odyssey to make it up nasty forest service roads like those in Montana. I have been trying to raise it up to 8 inches clearance from a measly 4 inches. I gather from talking to my...

    Motorcycle to use as a "toad" with van

    I am going to use a 2006 Honda Odyssey as my live in vehicle. I go up a lot of forest roads to backpack but the van has only 4" clearance! I have been trying to figure out if it is good idea to park Odyssey before the road is too rough and go the rest of the way on a motorcycle with my 17...
