Someone just recommended this toilet to me instead of the Laveo Dry Flush toilet due to reliability reasons. It's more expensive, though. Anyone have any first-hand experience with it? submitted by /u/Hepcat508 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I don't really have any reason to share this other than the fact I lived in this sub for such a long time before starting my van journey, thinking I was invincible from the van struggles. I started living in a Ford e150 a month and a half ago. I was so sure I was not like the other van life quitters, and that I could last an indefinite amount of time. After all, I loved camping, so why would I not love camping every night? I also love travelling and taking long trips. What I suddenly realized is that even I have my limits, and that I like having a home base. I have a lease starting in August ..read more

Apologies in advance if this is offensive to the community. New to the game. Just bought my first truck. Built my bed system this weekend. Gf broke up with me, quit my job, and as a result gonna go full bore into a boondocking situation in Baja, Mexico. My timeframe restricts me a bit so I won't be able to go all the way down to Cabo so I plan to surf and camp down in Guerro Negro and the Seven Sisters Area. (Very remote, not much facilities) I'm going bare bones here. Just packing myself and my dog, have a cellphone and no other electronics so not really concerned about having power. My main ..read more

It looks like this question hasn’t been posed in a while and curious if anyone has incorporated a simple Bluetooth speaker setup into their build. I know portable Bluetooth is the obvious solution and I’ve got two different options currently but I don’t like having to charge them or move them from place to place. I just want to be able to wake up in the morning and play music on built in Bluetooth speakers without getting out of bed. Doesn’t have to “bump” I just want good clean high quality sound. Any ideas or suggestions? submitted by /u/lobsterbake [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Ok, as I’m insulating my fan with 3M thinsulate I’m seeing the cavities in the transit are pretty deep. Is there any reason not to use fiberglass batt? It’s much thicker and would fill those voids nicely. submitted by /u/TheGr8HoneyBadger [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Taking a trip from Dallas TX to San Diego, then up to Oregon for a while, then wherever I go afterwords. I’ll leave the 29th of this month. Anyone down to grab some lunch? Always open to meeting new people and learning from each other! Also any tips or suggestions for great spots to get some drone photography and videos would be amazing!

Hey all - Working on my van buildout and I'm wiring my DC-DC converter (its the Renogy 40A unit). I want to put it on a rocker switch so I can turn it on when cruising highway speeds because my alternator is underpowered. Does anyone have a good tutorial or have done this and can throw some advice my way? Looking for wire gauge, switch to buy, how to wire it etc. I'm a total electrical noob so I need detailed instructions at all steps of the process. Additionally if anyone has limited these units from 40A to 20A I'd be interested in this too. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/lil-Quist [vis ..read more
