I'm looking for a bed for my cabin and after seeing an ad on offering upholstery work, I sent an email asking if he'd be able to make and what he might charge for a foam matress. He quickly replied asking what size and I sent the measurements. He then sent a reply telling me to go to Walmart as...

Is there a post or chart with capability, reliability and price range for all of the different battery types that will work with a 200 watt system? My eyes are crossed from reading as much as I can and then searching Amazon or any other site and I have searched for an answer and got more stuff...

And what usually happens when I am searching for something on a forum or the internet is that there are so many posts or threads, I get lost looking for the information I need :) Here's the issue: I have decided to go with the 200 watt kit from Renogy for my Cabin. I do have a 110 plug I can...

It isn't a van but the ideas and reasons for it are pretty much exactly the same. I fully intend to use things I have learned here to build it and hope it's ok to put a built thread here.  I have looked for tiny home forums but haven't found many and those I do find are either pretty much dead...

Since I'm not going to be mobile for a good while until the kids are out of High School. So, that leaves me with a decision on providing a home for them half the time but also allowing enough money to help their Mom with her bills and still have enough left over to live on and save. And with...

I'm due for a big change by the first week of April and am trying to figure out the cheapest way to move out, find a dwelling (was thinking a class C) that my two kids would be able to somewhat comfortably stay in 50% of the time, and try to help their Mom pay the bills on the over priced home...

I'm not able to go to RTR but I'd love to meet some CRVL'ers if they are passing through and have time for a coffee. Has there ever been a dedicated thread for this?  I guess the way to do it would be to list your hometown (if you aren't completely mobile) and if someone was in the area and...

I've been on this site for quite a while, thinking 'What if?', 'Could I do it?' and 'I wish I could' and it looks like I'm going to find out. In the next few weeks, probably by the middle of January, I'll be out of the house and living in the van. I will have a place to go if I need to, but...

In a previous life, I was a Realtor and was successful. I wrote a book to help my business and used it as a way to help FSBO (For Sale By Owners) sell their home, but had a section detailing how a Realtor could help them, if they were unable to sell it and decided to look for a Realtor. I had...

I'm thinking for my needs, perhaps a minivan might work and have been thinking about different minivans. Because I'm goofy, I started thinking about those old Aerostar vansI thought of them because they seemed to be squarer in shape and will probably offer more interior room than other similar...

Ok, in my introductory post a year or so ago, I outlined a little of what was going on. My wife and I are still together but it's not good. Too much junk has happened and even if we were able to 'work it out', I'd still have no partner in the relationship. We'd be lucky to get back to a level...

I posted a thread about finding an old camper for $300 and then a few weeks later found the camper van and decided I liked the van better O(and the camper was more work than I was able to do) . I posted an ad for the camper and got three responses very quickly. One of them was very interested...

The steering wheel tilt steering mechanism is loose, the steering wheel moves left and right, up and down. Steering is still tight but not sure how bad this will get or if it will affect steering?

Renogy 100 Watt Kit I had no idea you could order a kit from Walmart. They also have 300 watt kits.

A little back story, first. My family decided to downsize a little and moved into a nice apartment complex (my first time) and it's been pretty cool. The apartment is large, the pool is nice and we are saving a bit of money while I am in school.  Our apartment is on the end and there is a set...

Drove a little closer and saw it was an RV Show, lots of brand new Class A's, Class C's and travel trailers. I slowed down to take a look and as I drove by the last row, there was a 5th wheel...hooked to a nice Ford Truck :) Now, THAT'S stealth :) Also, since I've been on this site, I have to...

I decided to make a quick video of our new Camper. It's short and I think it came out pretty well for my first time. I do plan on more videos so take a look if you want to see a quick introduction of our 1989 G20 Jayco conversion van. 1989 Chevy Jayco Camper Van

I had been looking at several different options. If you have read my introductory post, there was some uncertainty about my future. I think things have settled down but I had the bug (and also thought it would be a good idea of having a plan B).  I had placed an ad on Craigslist and someone...

Well, it is a little worse than a diamond in the rough, but I like it. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a hunting camper, no title, 13 feet, $350. There was no picture and the ad asked for calls only. I decided to call and then decided to go take a look at it. I don't know if you had read my intro...

Looks cool, going to go see it in a day or two. Anyone have any information on this model?
