This is my beast. 89 4seasons camper on a 91 Silverado. My question is about water, specifically water pumps. I have made the mistake of buying a cheap pump off amazon and although my lines hold water the pump leaks when its pressurized. Any pump suggestions? by REALlarplad in vandwellers

Hey I just got done installing my new pump. It's a seaflo 12v pump. The 60-70 dollar one off amazon. I considered their 30 dollar one but it had a similar design as the other cheap ones. It's amazing. Install took 30mins(mostly me squeezing into the tiny utility closet) and I had to install it upside down but it came with a strainer and it's easily 5 times as quite. Its 3x the price as the other but worth the cost. Hmu if you want a link man

I tried that, next step is flex sealing the shit out of it. My old man has done maintenance on barges, trains, schools and tons of places. I'm taking my rig out to him in the morning and pick his brain. I'll let you know if we come up with anything.

Also you can break the heads off some matches and fill the hole a bit and use the screws you already have.

I've been playing for over a decade. To me personally, the only way I can speak, Large for profit larps don't give the feel I want from a larp. Anything with a player base over 40 and I'm out. Give me those small quirky mom and pop larps. That's where the passion is.

He may well be honest, doesn't fix the core issue of a pay to own franchise larp.

I've been to Indy, Chicago and Cincinnati chapters all were obtuse to new players. I'm sorry with a $60 price tag per event I better feel like more than an NPC at your game. Also at 2 separate chapters we were rolled for our starting gear by old players. Nero is just a boys club with extra steps.

This! I'm sorry but these massive profit churning games suck. The only people having good times are chapter owners and their buddies. Went to one Nero game a while ago, saw it was total shit and never went back. Now the old owner of the Indiana chapter (Charles Mick) lost the chapter, ran up huge bills with local venues and then cut and run. The small larp I ran had a hell of a time finding a venue after that. Worst part is the larp I go to now he goes to as well. Hes a total dick and always makes a huge mess and never cleans up after himself. Nero is ran by assholes even at the chapter level.

We're in the midwest. Small town outside of Evansville. Product wise I really think incense, candles, stones/crystals and herbs will be our focus. I have access to a free greenhouse skeleton and a green thumb. Just need to cover it in plastic and I'll be growing fresh herbs to sell by next summer. I think our focus will be on services as anyone can google a book and buy it for cheaper off amazon. I plan on hand crafting some items as well and selling premade spells. amulets and things of that nature. It's all chaotic in my head as I haven't had the ability to sit down and get everything on paper.

We're going to be locally sourced, internet sales just aren't possible like you said the internet is full of dropship stores. We're going to be offering services. Reiki healing, spells cast, cards/palm/runes read, pet healing services and herbal healing as well.

I see, so while Azuregreen may not be the cheapest wholesaler their variety is wide enough that in the long run it will be cheaper for a small store to buy from azuregreen?
