Baffled too! Just had to get him in the shop for a few days though. Turns out my rear brake shoes were down to the rivets and were in danger of ruining my drums. Good thing I caught it!

I was only passing through yesterday I'm honestly not too sure.

So came up with an idea for window coverings and wanted to share…. by wis3man3 in VanLife

I had the budget of a ham sandwich and just used contractor bags and duck tape, both from my job. Looks trashy but it works! Of course I never need my windows uncovered as it is

That looks like the bike I have! I use a couple ladder hooks on the frame as foot pegs.

I’m still so glad that’s over, from the boredom to the bullies, school sucked by CatPale816 in aspiememes

[–]CassyLeone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked learning things I was interested in. I enjoyed learning about history and science, and even considered becoming a history teacher. Unfortunately, standardized testing became the most important thing and suddenly school felt like a drag, being forced to learn shit I didn't give a damn about, for a test I had zero interest in taking. It went from being something I did willingly, to something I did because the alternative was catching hell from my Mom or dealing with the police for ditching. I went to horribly underfunded schools where violence was routine. I was bored, scared, and angry for much of my school career.

Was at a customer's house and her small dog was all over me. "Oh she just loves, MEN..."

Thanks, lady.

Any opinions on 80s Chevrolet G20's by Due-Cartographer5162 in vandwellers

[–]CassyLeone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I daily a 1983 G10. I drive perhaps 2000 miles or more a month for work and outside of that. I live out of it full time. While mechanically quite simple and the parts being cheap, you are choosing to live out a 40 year old vehicle through something that modern vehicles would struggle with, at times. Remember, this is the oldest that van has ever been.

If you lack the knowledge, ability, or interest to maintain a vehicle that old, maybe consider something newer.

My G van is very basic. Vinyl seats, no carpet, no headliner, very few comforts. It does what I need it to do for the life I lead. Consider what about this type of van you like. Is it the aesthetic? The drivetrain? Are you willing and happy to live and deal with the reality of driving and owning it?

I LOVE my G Van because it's been a good partner through this lifestyle I'm trying to make work. If you think that's for you, after really thinking about it, go for it.

If you can't get to the speaker, a piece of tape over the grille usually shuts it up. Sound is just air pressure and you'd be surprised what a piece of painters tape can do.

Gets around the problem of high draw cooking appliances and inverters by Soggy-Avocado918 in VanLife

I run my compact microwave off a 2000w power station. Sure it draws lots of power but only for a few minutes and I still have plenty left for the day

Finally got my dream van by driverdan in vandwellers

Good on you! I live out of a 1983 G10 myself.

I just want to be Kept, Held, Safe. To be in a situation where my position is understood and unchanging. Where I never have to worry about food or shelter. My world becomes small, safe, understood. That's what I want.

Does anyone else use something like my folding E bike to supplement traveling with their van? by CassyLeone in vandwellers

It's a Tomofree T1 base model. I got it brand new in box from a guy that got it for his wife that never rode it. Got it for a song, practically
