Ok, making a quick information drive by ;) to help anyone that doesn't know this. If you do not file taxes due to receiving SSI or VA pension benefits only... YOU MUST FILE A SIMPLE TAX RETURN TO GET YOUR CHECK! A lot of media are reporting confusing information that Social Security recipients...

Just dropping by to let those of you with the ATT  Mobley know a work around I found for stopping the 2hr time out. I have my Mobley in my RV on a power adapter.  My device didn't start timing out until December, and yes it was irritating for it to time out.  But I found anytime I even bumped...

Ok I'll try to make this explanation as short as possible... I have a 36ft 5th and a 20 ft Minnie Winnie on my own land.... so both are on shore power. I like the Minnie Winnie best.... so I awoke in the middle of the night, last night, with no power (fan stopped)..checked and 5th still had...

I love really old cookbooks because they are truly from scratch recipes but many of them also contain  very useful (sometimes forgotten) info for van life, camping and homesteading. I picked up a local church one the other day that had no date but I found that one of the advertisers was in...

Ok I am trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak.  This post may be a bit long winded so just bear with me but I need to give you the background so you can maybe understand what I am trying to do. I live in an RV that is always on shore power (unless the Elect. Co has a rare power outage) so...

So I am into the process of converting most all of the lighting in my RV to LED.   To do this required a bit of research first, so I thought I would take a few minutes to post what I learned for those who are interested. After researching to find out how to think in lumens and Kelvins vs watts...

Many of us here are fugal by necessity or by inclination.  But no matter how frugal you are, you should always allow yourself something you consider a luxury even if it is small. So what is the best thing you could do without but you allow yourself as a luxury? Mine is a shower twice a month...

Ok I have refrigeration but I got really tired of throwing stuff away because I didn't use as much as the smallest container I could buy.  I use these ingredients for the portion control and convenience more than the refrigeration issue.  But it would work for those of you who are without...

Ok it has been a while since I have been on but I discovered something that I thought I would tell you about. Here is one of those seen-on-TV products that actually works  (look around you can find them at yard sales and second hand stores cheap, I have 2, both second hand.)...

Hippiechk... had an accident last night near Superior, Montana ...she is okay, or as okay as you can be after totaling a mini van that is now a compact car. She hit ice. She is now stuck in a motel there... Is there anyone close that can possibly help her with a ride or to help her get her...

I have noticed a trend on this new forum for us to pick up really old threads and take off posting on them again. Sometimes that may not be a bad thing in that it adds new information to an existing, useful old topic. But sometimes it just adds more rhetoric to a topic that was already a bit...

I've gotten may laughs from this site. http://www.dumblaws.com/ My favorite dumb law for my state of Texas is ..... One must acknowledge a supreme being before being able to hold public office. Now I know what is wrong with my politicians

Okay I have a question about RV water heaters. I don't expect you can tell me exactly how mine works but maybe someone has had a similar situation and can point me in a starting direction. I have looked online for a manual for my RV and can't fine one, so I am kind of left guessing. I have a...

I've thought about this quite a bit. Forums generally connect people of similar interests. For example an RV fan might join one of the RV forums, A Ford fan, a Ford forum, a prepper forum for a prepper, and so on. This is supposed to be a vandwellling forum, but not all of us necessarily...

I guess you can say I am a bit of a picky eater... For starters, I have a food texture problem. There are many things I love raw but can't eat once they have been cooked unless they are very finely chopped into a recipe. These are things like cabbage, tomatoes, Bell peppers, and onions. I am...

I thought it would be good resource to start a thread on ways you can make money online. I know there are many legit ways to do this but the information out there is a bit murky. So try to only post those you (or someone you know) has some experience with For myself I have been doing Amazon's...

I was wonder around Lehman's website (awesome place for ideas but expensive) today because I was researching simpler ways to do laundry.  I have a washer/dryer closet in my RV but I just don't think I need a full washer and dryer.  I was thinking along the lines of the old style...

ok so this has nothing to do with vandwelling or RVing.... but I got excited and had to share.<br><br>I don't drink alcohol or do drugs.... but I do have a couple of bad habits.&nbsp; I smoke (which I am working on) and I drink way too many Pepsi (which I will probably never work...

Ok you can be a northern engineering guru..... but I have a problem that I need some input on how to fix.<br><br>I live in a 36 ft 5th wheel that is permanently located on my land.. so it doesn't travel at all.<br><br>I am still in the process of completely moving in.... so only the last few...

What genre of books/ebooks do you like to read and who is your favorite author?<br /><br />For myself I like cozy mysteries. Preferably in a series, Actually I want most of what I read to be in a series.&nbsp; I really hate it when the story ends... I always have more questions about what happen...
