  1. Think grilled cheese made in a skillet then skip the cheese. Voila! toast! Linda Sand
  2. I'm not sure what your limitations are but here's one example of a tiny house community with year round residents: https://aconybell.com. It's not age restricted, though. Linda Sand
  3. Your system would not have worked in our first full-time van since it only had an 11 gallon black water tank. We just put maybe a 1/2 gallon of water in after dumping then added enough water to the bowl after each use to make the paper float before flushing. Used that same method in each following RV. Never had a problem. Linda Sand
  4. Good point! I've heard of people paying $20 for a bottle of water because no one had anything smaller. Linda
  5. In the Minneapolis/St Paul area we have the Hennepin County Medical Center and the Ramsey County Hospital that are non-profit. Plus, lots of for-profit ones. I have received care in one non-profit and three for-profit here and got good care in all of them. Our daughter was born in a non-profit since it was on an Army Base and I was born on a Navy base. Dave was born in a for-profit here that no longer exists. (Swedish Hospital reflecting his family's Scandinavian heritage.) Linda
  6. I don't do Facebook, which is why I seldom know what's going on. I get most of my class news from Soos' blog. I also get Sandie's blog but she seldom has news of other classmates to share. I am so out of the loop.
  7. Buck is new to me. Which isn't saying much since I've been homebound for so long now. Linda
  8. I miss you all so much. Wish we were still out there traveling but Dave is done and I no longer drive. I keep planning van conversions, though, as if I could still do it. I think planning was always my favorite part with our class gatherings next. I still hate that my health interfered with some of the gatherings. Linda
  9. Yup. I never felt I "lived" in the states we visited while full time RVing no matter how long we visited them. We never changed our driver's licenses, vehicle registrations, nor voting registration to any of those states, either. Nor did we let them count us as residents of the states we visited at the time of the 2010 census. Our domicile was South Dakota so that's where we did all those things. Linda Sand
  10. And Scamp trailers for us northerners. https://www.scamptrailers.com Linda Sand
  11. If the weather gets good enough, you might enjoy taking the Natchez Trace, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Skyline Drive heading north. We took that route south one year in the fall and had gorgeous color all the way. Linda Sand
  12. KOAs are always safe but not always pleasant; they are geared to families so can be noisy. CoE campgrounds are along waterways so rarely good for a one night stay unless you are traveling along someplace like the Mississippi River. Passport America parks are a hit or miss situation; some good, some not so good. If you are member of Escapees, that entitles you to a discount at a bunch of parks similar to the discount of Passport America. Most rigs can stay one night without hookups even if they are not typically set up for boondocking; for those nights we often stayed at Walmart or Cracker Barrel and bought groceries or a meal. Also, check out other cards you might have; I once offered all my cards to a place and asked them to pick what would give me the best deal and they gave me a discount using my AARP card. Linda Sand

    Myth Busters

    When building out a van or similar sized vehicle, it is good to look at boats. Those marine folks have solved a lot of problems. Linda
  14. Oops. But good they do that now. I never understood why anyone would buy one without updating capabilities. That does indicate how long they last, though, as I haven't needed to buy one since 2008. Linda
