What is a G plan? There's parts A, B, C and D. A is for hospitals, B for doctors, and D for prescription. I haven't heard of G. Then there are "supplemental" plans, whatever those are, and then Medicare Advantage which is A, B, C, and D? My mom will have insurance from her state job when...

Thank you!

It's great to hear your wife was able to get the care she needed, with cost at a minimum and not bankrupting you. What Medicare G plan do you have? I need to sign my mom and step-dad up for Medicare/social security and I'm so confused about the supplementals.

John, Thanks for sharing. Keep posting, it's fascinating. You should write and publish a memoir (like you have started here).

I have gotten multiple emails already and am not a heavy user.

I didn't think there were other Nomad forums. There are some sub Reddit type things, that's all I have seen.

It seems totally different, I can't place it though. It seems quieter here now, at least. It wasn't even that long ago!

I joined when this was cheaprvliving, because of Bob. I love Bob. Anyway, is this now primarily a vandwellers forum like the Instagram 20 year olds are doing (vanlife)? I'm a little confused since I haven't been active since the change. It doesn't seem that way. This used to be the nomad...

Airstream is working on an EV platform to help tow efficiency. Check it out. https://www.airstream.com/air-lab/concepts/estream/

Tesla is allowing it soon, it's already on the app. They are not available yet, but Tesla is getting ready. Here's what I saw today on my app:

Forever. They would get 2 to 3 miles every hour. When I had my AC running in camping mode, I was getting between 0 and 1 mph at 120v. See attached. From Tesla's website: " A 120 volt outlet will supply 2 to 3 miles of range per hour charged. If you charge overnight and drive less than 30...

I have done my best to correct the misinformation posted about Teslas here. There are not 2 to 4 hour waits. Batteries are meant to go 300k-500k for NCA technology and double that for LFP (which don't catch fire), not the 100k that you repeatedly postulate. I actually own one of these and...

Zero Motorcycles have upwards of 223 miles of range. I ride manual bikes, so I have not been on one of these, but maybe you would like it. https://www.hotcars.com/longest-range-electric-motorcycles-ranked/ As far as distances, a Tesla MS can go 405 miles. That would be just fine in the...

In 2018, the batteries were 75kWh for the Model X 75D, and 100 kWh for the Model X 100D. The MS is on the same platform. The Model Y didn't exist in 2018. The Model 3 LR and M3P has an 80.5 kWh battery.

The Model 3 RWD has a LFP (Lithium Iron Phophate) battery. The battery size varies based on the model. The M3 RWD has a 60kWh battery. The M3 LR and M3P have an 80kWh battery. The MS and MX are on the same platform, and the battery is 100kWh.

A Tesla NCA battery is built to last 300k to 500k miles. The LFP battery (only on the M3 RWD) should get double that. Battery replacement is 15k to 20k. It cost 3k to replace our Prius battery at 495k miles (not a typo).

The Tesla MY can tow 3,500 lbs. The MX can tow 5,000 lbs. It's not towing 12,000 lbs. The sedans, the M3 and MS, can tow 2,000 lbs. You really aren't supposed to tow with it though- the hitches are for the MY and MX. You charge on 50A at a campground and will get around 30 miles per hour...

Here's my camping setup in the Tesla. We have a 12v refrigerator in the subtrunk and leave it in camp mode all night, which runs the refrigerator and air conditioning. I had it plugged into 50A service for a few days, but it will use about 6% of the battery per night...

This was a 1998 Wrangler Sahara. Jeeps are not known for their reliability. If I had an unlimited supply of money and wanted this as a toy and had other cars, fine. If I was going to live out of something, I would get the most reliable, low cost to repair, and low cost to operate vehicle I...

Don't buy a Wrangler. My husband had one (well, we still have it dead at our house). It needed a new transmission every 85k miles. It's up to 200k miles, totally dead. It's uncomfortable, gas is a fortune for it since it gets like 14 mpg, and a new one is incredibly expensive for what it is...
