Land of the fee.

Why are you even asking this question? Solar is one of the easiest solutions to power. It is cheap. It can provide electricity for lighting recharging phones, laptops, and runs refrigeration, fans, TV and entertainment. Put a roof rack on your van or car and put solar inside it, so it looks...

I don’t know why any would want to go to Quartzite. Pick a spot with trees and water b

Everyone seems to want to tell you to not have cash. They are not answering your question, which is a reasonable one. I would recommend you have something built in to the floor deck somewhere and perhaps disguised under something greasy and oily looking so that no one would want to touch it...

I hope your 6.5 holds up. I had a 6.2 and the heads would crack.

The trend is clear. Car thefts are up. Car jackings are up. Likewise home invasions are increasing. I live in a rural area. In my family home, which I now own, we rarely locked our doors. Then we started locking them at night. Now we lock them all the time, even when home. We never...

It can be done. My first thought was a young couple I saw living in a van together. The girl was young and pretty and bounced out of the van with a smile on her face and completely I covered with dog hair. I wondered how long that would last. Minimalist: While remodeling a house, I live in...

They make these that turn off and on with a thermostat. You can easily buy off the shelf products that do that. Espacher and Wesbasto are two well known marine heaters that use either forced hot air or hydronic heat with registers--the later require some electric power for the fans and pumps.

How long was your mouth wired shut after that?

I travel with five dogs. 25,000 miles in three years. They are friendly and might bark if excited and never bite. I try to walk them individually, and my breed, Portuguese Water Dogs, tend to stay close. They are bred as boat dogs, so they are used to being confined also. A camper is much...

I realize this is an old thread. Consider electric motorcycles and bicycles. Segway makes a light one, and if you have solar you can recharge it and the long term costs are low after purchase, plus they are very light.

I think it is a long video that could be summed up in 30 seconds. I've done simple, a K5 Blazer with rear seat removed and a futon in the back, and have camped in cities and far in the bush. I've also set up a truck camper to provide power (830 W of solar) enough to run an electric blanket. I...

It would not pass. Instead focus on learning how to stealth camp. I see lots of them near my house in California.  They are tolerated because construction workers would not work if they had no place to sleep during the week.

Looks reasonable to me. California is not hard in RVs as there is no freezing. Personally I like a permanently made up bed and diesel power, nevertheless that looks like a really nice camper that most everyone would appreciate. It’s easy to get in and out of. It possible to pull over and...

Any place without zoning. Northeast Connecticut. Lots of places in western mass and norther Vermont and New Hampshire. Most places in Maine.

I like Biddeford Electric Blankets but none of them hold up well if you kneel on them. I use a decent mattress with a 2” foam topper. Flannel sheets. I use tarp clips and bungees to hold blankets in place at the foot. On top of the flannel I have an eblsnket and then a down comforter if it’s...

Lots of stuff on YouTube on this topic. Lots of good advice like putting a huge pair of men’s boots by the door.

Can you post some pictures? I presume it’s like a Boler. I have a Wrangler I’m refurbishing now. I’ve been toying with the idea of taking out the passenger seat and fabricating a bed for me and the dogs. I’ve seen people put tents on their roofs. I don’t like tents.

I love it. I prefer diesel but you can’t argue with that layout. It is easy to get in and out of. You made a great choice. You can park that anywhere. Be sure to read Bryan Applebee’s Stealth Campimg Guide.
