Look to Mexican cooking for inspiration.  I'm a lactose intolerant vegetarian or ovo-vegan.  Beans, rice, salsa, avocado and tortillas are a really good meal.  Have you tried sprouting?  Sprouts are nutritional powerhouses!  Also depending on your set up, you might try growing some fresh...

I have to be creative in my camper van.  I have a TV tray where the tray swings down out of the way and use it all the time for a bit of counter space.  I have a 2 burner hot plate and a single burner that screws onto the top of the tiny propane bottles.  I try to do as much of my...

I need to get back to eating more raw foods.  It is often difficult for me to do since I normally live way out in the boonies where the pickings are a bit slim.  When I either live near a decent sized town or have my own garden, I eat much better.  A good goal to aim for is 50% of...

They make a cheap version of this that you can generally find at wal-mart.  I've used them for years and they work great.

Scarlett I just installed a solar electric system in my camper van.  It's not hard!  You should have an auxiliary battery somewhere in your RV.  That's what you wire it to.  All you need is a screwdriver and a hole in the floor to run the wires through(you probably already...

Maybe rather than owning parcels of land communally.....folks own parcels of land themselves and form a group.  You can camp on my place and Susy can camp on my place....and I can camp on your place and I can camp on Susy's place.  I like this idea a lot, because I already own the...

I went over the same rough road and it quit working again!!!&nbsp; Arrrggghhhh!<br><br>Don't suppose anyone has any idea what might be wrong with it?&nbsp; Any suggestions on where to look for a loose connection?

The biggest problem would be paperwork and taxes.&nbsp; If these issues could be dealt with, I think it is a great idea.&nbsp; Especially if there were numerous parcels of land purchased in many different places.&nbsp; A core group could pool X amount of money to buy properties.&nbsp; If someone...

It depends on the type and number of batteries you have and the method you use to keep them charged.

I don't know why everyone doesn't do rainwater collection!&nbsp; I've lived with rainwater collection for most of the last 7 years and prefer it over the nasty chemical laden stuff that comes out of most faucets.<br><br>For every inch of rain you can collect .6 gallons per square foot of roof...

You will probably get better answers if you post this in the electrical/solar section of the forum.&nbsp; I would do some experimenting to see before I went out on the road if I was you.&nbsp; I have a solar panel that I can hook up when I'm sitting still long enough that I need to charge the...

I like to make my own ingredients for dry soup mixes.&nbsp; I soak nuts before eating them and use a low temperature dehydrator setting to get them dry again.&nbsp; I make an amazing raw high protein energy bar that is my favorite thing out of the dehydrator. <br><br>First I soak almonds...

A fan will draw a lot less power than your dehydrator.&nbsp; You might try experimenting with using a fan for dehydrating.&nbsp; I didn't bring my dehydrator and I am really missing it.

Thank you for bringing up this subject!&nbsp; I used spray bottles to clean dishes and myself over the last couple of days of dry camping and I am astonished at how little water I used.&nbsp;

I did a little off roading today to find a good quiet picnic spot.&nbsp; I went wayyyy back on a dirt road to a beautiful spot where I backed up to the woods and turned off everything.&nbsp; Moved into the back of the van for my lunch and I kept hearing something.&nbsp; What is that...

The grey water tank can smell really foul as well!&nbsp; Found that out the hard way.&nbsp; I liked to never got my grey water tank rinsed out enough to quit stinking when I first bought my van.

LOL...of course now that I have this awesome solar panel the monsoon rains move in so that I don't have any sun!<br><br>I did want to post an update on the seller.&nbsp; He did overnight me the extra connectors.&nbsp; Though I had offered to pay for postage since I needed them overnighted to me...

I am having the issue that Zil mentioned.&nbsp; I'm in a camper van and the shower is one where you sit on the toilet and you are in the shower pan.&nbsp; The drain for the shower sits directly behind the base of the toilet.&nbsp; Since it is not recessed at all there is no way to place a...

You might want to consider renting a place in Mexico rather than driving your RV down.&nbsp; Many times it is cheaper to rent a simple Mexican style house than it is to rent an RV spot.

When driving the er....stuff....gets stirred up and that is why you smell it at that time.&nbsp;
