Imet someone that has a few acres of mountain property with room for a few RV's - and is willing to let me park there for a small fee (officially as 'storage' but I am able to access my RV 24/7 & he doesn't care that I stay in it - just not officially as a full time residence) but he wants some...

Rvtravel, it's really like just standing on the ground, except all the water dripping down from the wash cloth ends up in the tub instead of on the floor - haven't lost my balance yet!

In my trailer I have a porta potty for those big yobbie jobbies - & a piss jar that I just toss out somewhere in the bushes. Hey - just being honest, this is how I do it. But a few years ago I rented a car to go long distance to a dog show. Pitched my tent at the show grounds. Nature was pushing...

My shower solution is as good as a shower at a 5 star hotel -(well ok that's stretching it a bit - but when I'm done I feel just the same!) I have a tub just big enough for my feet (size 11). I heat up a gallon of water and stand in the tub - & sudz, scrub & rinz away with an oversized...

Thanks for the tip about drying the disposable razor. What a ripoff they are - I also hate shaving - so I do it every 3 days or more - & it's usually hard plowing. Will start DRYING the razor & see if I can stretch it!

Yes plywood is too heavy - I'm intending to use 25mm & 30mm Nida-Core or Plascore, much lighter, bonded at the seams then laminated on the inside with fiberglass. Will be very light & strong. Also planning to use some aluminum reinforcement especially on the bed right above the pickup cab.

Willy, don't worry about moving slow - just take it easy! My motto is 'nothing happens before coffee, and 'pert near nothing happens AFTER coffee' !! Interesting concept - this nylon skin stretched on frame. I've also seen this 'stitch & glue' method ...

I've seen that forum before - will look closer. Thought if I built a skin framed camper like a kayak ... I could call it a 'kayamper' Thanks again

Maybe if I can make a camper as fast as these guys make kayaks - I'd be in it in a day or two...

Ok - amazing! I'll look into how it's done - thanks

That's called 'vacuum infusion' - a technique where layers of carbon fiber are laid next to a mold then they 'bag' it with plastic & in a vacuum process they infuse it with resin. That process is a possibility - but for now I'm just staying with a more conventional way of building a camper using...

Haven't started this project yet - but have decided I'm pretty well done traveling with a trailer - there are just too many roads & tight spots that I've found myself in a bind. So am morphing towards the pickup truck - flatbed, with a popup camper style rig. Am exploring the idea of building my...

<P>I like the idea.. I'll add it to my bag of tricks... </P>

<P>I use food grade <SPAN class=st sb_id="ms__id1227">diatomaceous earth ... dust it on my loverlies &amp; put it in their food. may be an urban myth for all I know, but it works for me, dogs are tick &amp; flea free</SPAN></P>

hi and welcome! I'm new around here myself, but not to traveling. Wanderer at heart, I am. If I'm not actually out traveling, I'm at home wishing I was.<BR><BR>I quit thinking that there was any 'perfect' setup...&nbsp; best to just get something &amp; make it work, don't labor on what is ideal...

I have a 14' wide bodied Burro and love it although sometimes I think it's too much for just one person, especially when I want to go on back roads, and it's difficult with a trailer, but it's nice to be able to unhook and have a vehicle to explore with, and I admit I like lots of storage, a...

well, thank you....<br><br>what brilliance I might have certainly doesn't come easy after a knock on the door in the middle of the night, if I have anything to fall back on it's BS or nothing.. <br><br> <br>

thanks all for the welcome... and the links, and ideas for stealth camping... the less money I can shell out to RV parks means better grub I can shell into my mouth lol (which is worth a lot more to me!)<br><br>yes that (was) the awning... I lost most of it on the highway, so I took the rest...

I have had numerous occasions that I just pulled over and said I am done for the night... I have to get a few winks, no matter what anyone thinks... and yes, I've had my door pounded on in the middle of the night and the business end of a 3' long flash light blinding me.&nbsp; I usually have at...

Hi all,<br><br>I'm from Central California, I have a lightweight 14' fiberglass trailer (make: Burro), travel solo... and it eats my lunch to have to pay the same for an RV space as some 40' palace on wheels. I never use any of the amenities that I have paid for (excepting showers or laudramats...
