    Ticks and fleas

    I live in the woods where we have lots of ticks in the summer. I recently switched to Bravacto and it has made a huge difference. I used to spend lots of time pulling off dead or dying ticks off my pup. Now, he rarely has a tick on him and, if he does have one, it is always dead! Kind of...

    Squeaky styrofoam?

    I put electrical tape on the corners that were touching the metal, and it stopped most of the squeaking. Get a friend to sit in back while you drive to help ya find the squeaky spots!

    Buying Ford Transit 150 or 250?

    I have the 2017 medium roof 250. I went with the 250 just to make certain I could carry lots of stuff. I skipped the eco boost engine because I read that those engine have problems with carbon buildup over time. Also, it's a cargo van and not built for speed.

    I was going to head to Balmoreah yesterday but decided to stay holed up in Deming NM for another couple of days to watch the weather. Nothing like fighting these winds to make time and catch up with the tornado activity. Ugh. Safe travels.

    What Dangers Do You Worry About?

    I worry about being broken down along the side of the road at night. Because of this, I always try to find a camping spot by mid afternoon.

    Why are you on the road (or wanting to be)?

    Both of my parents were teachers. So for about 3 months every year, we would hop in the car and tour the country while camping. While we usually had a general idea of where we were going, my dad was a bit of an adventurer, so we could end up just about anywhere (one time we ended up driving...

    Can you lock a cap from the inside?

    I clip one end of chain to the metal loop in my pick-up bed then clip the other end of the chain to the interior handle. From the chain, hangs a big bell. It's my early warning system. Of course, I don't park where I feel uncomfortable....

    Camper shell window tint

    For my camper shell, I bought some super magnets from Home Depot. They are small, round, powerful magnets that are exactly the size of the rivets that secure the shell's windows in place. I just placed one magnet on every 2nd or 3rd rivet along the windows and leave them them on there all the...
