    First-Time RVers Retiring with E5: Solar Upgrades and Boondocking Plans

    Hi All, My wife and I just retired and want to travel the country with our dog, seeing the US/Canada's great sites, state parks and national parks. We've never RV'd, and only tent camped a few times many, many years ago. We decided in retirement we want the comfort of our own bed, sheets...

    How Much Can RVers Save With a Camper Piggy Bank?

    The wife slammed the entry door on the camper and a crash occurred. Our "piggy bank" crashed to the floor and all that change flew everywhere. Yes, it all got picked up and now in zip lock bags. We're looking for another "piggy bank" now so change can be dropped in. We started saving our...

    It's chilly here.

    33 below zero. I'm glad I'm inside my house with central heat. On top of that the weatherman is calling for up to or even more than two feet of new snow starting this afternoon. This will be on top of the foot of snow we got yesterday. I'm all cleaned out and waiting for the next round.

    Supporting RVers Facing Housing Instability: Practical Ways to Help

    The earlier thread about Cousin Eddie RVs in business lots unfortunately got into partisan politics and name calling until the Adults had to step in. I'm hoping we can avoid this by looking at the RVers and not get drawn into a should-have/would-have discussion or talking of bootstraps and...

    Volunteering and assisting with emergency/disaster response

    One of the main reasons I bought and am building my coach is to retire and volunteer to assist with emergency/disaster response. Does anyone do this or is there any programs that I can look into? I know of a client that personally is a huge volunteer of the local child search and rescue...

    Is anyone using the new design Trip Wizard?

    I'm surprised there aren't more discussions about the new interface. I remember a thread but it isn't current. I've tried to use the new interface, but I have to keep going back to the classic version. Are you using the new version? What do you like about it? Did you try the new version and...

    Does Anyone Have Unique Businesses They Do While On The Road?

    I'm talking, making quilts, jellies, woodworking. not jewelry making as everyone does that. I'm interested in the unique creativity of our fellow travelers - probably full timers. Ones that actually make money, not for charity. Have you seen anybody with a unique business?

    Doorstep scams

    We get occasional doorstep requests to support some organization or cause. I'll usually try to verify that it's a bona fide local cause and decide if I'll offer some nominal donation or politely decline. This morning I answered a knock on our front door to find someone offering $80 sponsorships...

    Shower idea for taller folks.

    I built my bus to be able to load and unload a motorcycle with the handicap lift, which put my bathroom in an interesting spot right behind the drive axle. I have 34x48" area walled off to be the bathroom. The problem is, the roof slopes, and I am 6 feet tall. I would prefer to be able to stand...

    Need an Internet Solution

    I'm looking for low cost reliable internet for our Newmar Ventana. It's a 2026, brand new, and the Wi-Fi Ranger that came with it doesn't work--it won't even power on. I'm done wasting time with Newmar Tech support on it. I like Starlink for its access in remote areas, but not everywhere we...

    My MH Has Ripped A Hole In My Wallet

    I'm a frugal (OK, CHEAP) guy who doesn't buy stuff just to "keep up with the Joneses". But if you've been following my threads lately you know that since returning from this last long trip I seem to have been on a spending spree. I've been waiting for Starlink to fulfill their promise of $100...
