    Defrosting in the New World

    Marvels of Modern Appliance Technology Living in a trailer rather than a 'stix n' brix' domicile, it isn't just smaller quarters that is one of life's trials. Quality of life is important too, and one of those things involved is that appliances are rather cheaply made. Since this home of...

    Insulation Question

    I know that we have some mechano-scientifical souls on the forum, so I have a Q. Was reading on the BBC website today about building with Hempcrete (a mix of ground-up hemp, lime, and a binder, which would be stix & brix applicable only) but while they were writing about the thermal qualities...

    Wow.

    I just wanted to say...WITHOUT restarting a closed thread...that I just got around to reading the "This throws a bad light on RVs. News from Seattle" thread and found it amazing. Batting around (for the most part) wise and creative ideas without getting overtly political and vituperative is...

    Quote from Stewart Brand

    Just found this in a file of mine, circa 1971... "Nomads live when citizens perish". Travel your path safely, sisters and brothers...see you when they coincide.

    Lesson

    LESSON This is going to be a long post, so be forewarned; it won't be 'War and Peace', but it might edge toward 'The Great Gatsby' in length. It's the old story: give an old man a keyboard and he'll try to write about a room full of monkeys with typewriters...or whatever that old story is...

    Tips on replacing Fridge, please?

    Well, the Dometic in my home trailer decided the hot weather was too much (it never was swell) so I think that rather than mess with the comin' on two grand to replace it, the better way to go is with a stick-n'-brick 110V only. Watched a couple of vids on the subject, but (frankly) they seemed...

    Parking Swop

    Want to bounce an idea off you. My wife is in late stage Alzheimer's (still very social but incoherent, according to her doctor, and she's also still continent. but both those'll change) and since March of 2020 her 24/7 care with no relief has been by me...whose doctor and therapist both say...

    12V Freezer?

    Does anyone know if there is a small unit--freezer only, no refrigerator--available on the market? Or am I looking at taking a Sawzall to a fridge for my Frankenstenian purposes? Many thanks.

    Tankless Water Heaters

    Is there a thread for tankless vs. standard water heaters somewhere on the site? I can't find anything but mentions and would like to hear more personal experiences.

    Reintroduction

    When the site got 'refurbished' not long ago I received the notice that it was changing and it brought me back; some years back--six? eight? now that I'm 857 months old, those things kinda run together--when my wife fell ill and wanted to fulfill a dream of hers and see a Broadway Show, we...

    12V Cordless Tool Recharging

    Just wondering...does anyone know if there's a way to charge 12V cordless tools (circ saw & drill) directly from the 12V RV system, or does it have to go through an inverter to the charger and be converted back again?
