    Mr Buddy Heater Explosion

    When lighting my heater today it exploded and caught fire around the regulator. All fittings and hoses from the 5 gal tank and on the heater were tight and not leaking. Seems to be a failure of the regulator.

    Cummins Canoe (A Stepvan Story)

    HDR, you might poke LowTech He runs a deuce and a half and is dialed in (or was) to the military iron world. He may even have a military p.u. that would work for you.

    I think Jamie would be surprised that you think he is trying to drop out of sight as nothing is further from the truth.

    slide problems

    The biggest problem with slides is not the slide but your house battery. When you are set up be sure to throw the battery switch to off on the house batteries. When you are ready to bring the slide in turn the switch to on and move it in. Even when you are hooked to shore power the slide...

    LTVA parking question

    OP, The Imperial dam LTVA is huge and you will find it easy to locate a spot provided you are not tethered to a vault toilet as some seem to be. Boondocking is not like going to a campground and some folks don't understand that. The vast majority of boondockers are self sufficient. If that is...

    Fort McMurray

    I don't understand, why are you angry at US media ? Awesome Inch was saying that the fire, at that point, hadn't taken lives. A terrible situation for sure, one the US finds itself in every summer.

    Stopped with guns in vehicle [was: Another gun thread]

    Gun control and its advocates are not about anything other than control. They want to dictate what you should think, believe and how you live. I think the same folks who would deny you a gun would deny you the ability to live in a van on public property. Oh, that's right they already are!

    Change of Heart - No RV - Moving too fast

The glut of world oil has shut down the fracking in the upper midwest. The oil field workers were living in every type of rv you can imagine. When...

    Going through a breakup

    Casey, x2 what Cheli said. The end of a big part of your life is always tough. Try to be understanding of her values and decisions, you may be losing a companion, don't lose her as a friend. As you've seen, lot's of folks sending support and good vibes your way. Take care

    Some years ago the state of Cali did a study on what to do about the underground economy in the state. They wanted to find away to tax it. The study concluded that if the underground economy were to be controlled it would ruin the above ground economy. If you want something in Cali, or anywhere...
