You Might Be a Vandweller If...

[angeli]

Your garden is in dixie cups under a 12V florescent...<br><br>Your van doggie dresses better than you....<br><br>Last time you ate a bean burrito, you woke up to white jumpsuit wearing cops, wondering if the green mist leaking out of your van posed a health hazard to the greater metro area....<br><br>You've trained your van doggie to read out loud so that you can keep up on your Kierkegaard..... or... maybe it's e.e. cummings.&nbsp; You can't quite make it out...<br><br>You give thanks for your freedom every single bloody day...<br><br>then you KNOW you are a van dweller.<br><br><br><br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">If you are familiar with the terms AGM, MPPT, and pure sine wave, then...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">You might be a solar powered van dweller....</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">If you think that "polycrystalline" is some kind of plastic stemware for sipping wine, you're likely not a solar powered van dweller.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px;">If you can wake up and turn off the ceiling fan without getting up from the bed...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">You might be a vandweller!</p>

If you found the world's only 12V Rechargeable Vibrator manufacturer.....<br>You might be a vandweller<br>

<br><br><br>Ha! I just snarfed my tea!<br><br>You might be a van dweller if when people ask you where you're from you respond Lot 1 Row C<br><br>Or<br><br>6 miles past the bent tree next to the cactus pointing East.<br>

You might be a vandweller if....<br><br>*your computer array makes your van look like an FBI surveillance vehicle...<br><br>*your electronics are all solar powered from hidden arrays atop your van... sshhhh.......<br><br>*you own a solar powered tooth brush, and a hand crank powered radio.<br><br>*your savings account is a coffee tin with a slit in the lid.....<br><br>*instead of having a windmill on top of your tin foil hat, it's now on top of your van....<br><br>*you travel silent and unknown, but have a hundred friends online....<br><br>*Van doggie is now both part-time philosopher, navigator and accountant....<br><br>*Guru van kitty has no job, but exists only to convey blessings and enlightenment to everyone in view of the front window.<br><br>*you live in a state you haven't seen for 10 years.<br><br><img src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/idea.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0"><br><br>(this is fun, Bob.&nbsp; thanks.)<br><br>(Note to self: make sure to sew your own name into your jammies)<br><br>

You might be a vandweller if cleaning the whole inside of your house takes about 20 minutes but you only clean it when you feel like it. <br>The only&nbsp; people who care if it is clean are probably not going to set foot in it anyway.&nbsp; <br>

You might be a vandweller if you see an ambulance [with lights off] go by and think it's a camper.

"IF you go to a camping store and get excited over a new piece of equipment called "shower in a bag" lol!<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___83095

 

[angeli]

LOL!<br /><br />OK y-wave, what I want to know is has any LEO EVER said, oh thanks I'll take a cuppa and a biskit! &nbsp;???

 

[SirJoey]

For female LEO's... I may just have to rely on a smile and charm <img src="images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />&nbsp;Or maybe some expensive chocolate. <img src="images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />

<br /><br /><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;"><strong>Thanx for the reminder! I'm adding chocolates to my list <br />of IMPORTANT preps, in preparation for the day... :-D<br /><br /></strong></span>

*you start checking out other vans... "I wonder if someone lives in there?... three's curtains..."<br /><br />*you begin to see potential in every piece of junk that comes your way... "I think I could use that in the van..."<br /><br />*I begin to notice where public drinking fountains and faucets are."<br /><br /><img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

[twokniveskatie]

Haha, the credit goes to Tara, I love her for introducing me to the idea! Just this morning I used an "action packer" crate and some memory foam to create a chaise lounge of exceptional comfort. According to Mutt...he's not sharing right now.&nbsp;

If you stand up suddenly and bang your head on the ceiling, you might be a van dweller. (or a sailboat owner, SHHH) <img src="/images/boards/smilies/tongue.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /><br />-Bruce

You might be a vandweller if:
you have a little black book, but instead of names & numbers, it has sleep spot locations and notations.

 

[RAILROADGREEN]

if you spend your conputer time surfing this website!!!

 

[IndigoE]

If you wake up "at home" but don't know where you are... you just might be a van-dweller!<br /><br />

You see a truck or a van going down the street and you say out loud -- "I could live in that" <img src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" border="0" />&nbsp;---- the person next to you say -- "What the hell you talking about" <img src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" border="0" />
