Another point is....he asked if he could to go to jail instead of her. Watching the full badge cam video, even though some audio has been redacted, is always better than relying on an edited version (especially one in a TV series that is painting a narrative). He killed her and we will never...

Everything is included and we were able to run ours in the van with a Samlex 150w inverter. Since I prefer to set up things my way, I've switched to a different router etc but none of that is necessary.

I checked iOverlander, both 1 and 2, and see lots of listings. I'm using an iPhone 11.

Personally, if we had a safe we wouldn't keep much money or important documents in it. We have 2 separate lockable pelican cases we store important documents and money in. One is reasonably accessible and would be the one we would open if we were robbed at gunpoint. About $400, an old laptop...

If someone cannot answer here it would be worth while to hit up a forum more geared to full timing. I scanned one thread and it seems people were able to get some scripts filled by Walmart and/or CVS while on the road but others said the newer "rules" created problems. Consensus seems to start...

We are in a van so we carry a full thick bottom all stainless 10 piece Magma nesting pot set, not even sure they even make the non-coated set anymore. It's also the set we use in our house. We went through many sets before biting the bullet and getting the expensive one which we've been using...

Cool spot, hope you went and had that cup of coffee.

Very few walk away from "normal", it's as foreign to them as aliens. They too are going through your leaving so expect some push back. Reassure your love for them and open an invitation for them to join you anywhere along the way. Have a going away party, dinner, etc. or several. You are excited...

Pretty sure we stayed in that spot in August 2021. Your day was much clearer than ours, it rained, but the trees line up. It's a sweet spot just outside the mile they claim is required from the ghost town.

Haha, it is a bit technical. If there is something you need me to expound on just ask. In short summary...the router that came with the 12v power supply I bought for the Starlink dish (XTAR kit) seems to be spying and is limited in the features I wanted. Switching to the 12V power supply seems...

More testing and reasons why I want to run the Starlink in bypass mode. My main reason to bypass the router that came with the Starlink is to expand my LAN ports to at least 4 (it has 2), be able to disable WiFi, run a separate guest wifi network, dual WAN, and WiFi to WAN. Our really old, ~10...

We broke down and bought a standard kit as a back-up for home use but went with their roam plan so we can disable the service when we are not using it. Back to back hurricanes had us out for way too many work days, our cellular service still hasn't recovered. I was able to run the entire kit...

I think what you are going to do is more important at this point. Two years out is a lot of time and hammering out exactly what travel mix you are after will help to hone in on a rig combination. For example, if you plan on mostly visiting NP then you have to factor which parks you will camp in...

Our average was probably 2-3 days with some remote spots being a week. When we moved to a new area/state/country, 1 nighters unless we ended up on a lake or river which would become 2. Some of our favorite long stays were in spots with lots to do around it and on or very close to a river. We...

I agree and we have a good bit of expertise too. I guarantee that anyone who has any experience knows the garbage advice in this thread. The problem is how does an inexperienced person deduce what is solid and what is junk. Best thing to do is go to a source that is specific to what they are...
