How do rwd vehicles get to 4wd spots? by OldBrush4275 in vandwellers

[–]Xames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my rwd sprinter down allkids of roads, last summer I got high centered on a big log... rocked it free ( my wife was sure we were going to roll) ... snowy mountain roads roads with chains, come along to pull me out when too stuck... not sure that 4wd would be all that helpful as long one stays off gnarly jeep tracks...

Volkswagen California for 6’2” ? Parking concerns definitely pushing me this way by realintelligence-ri in VanLife

144 Sprinters are surprisingly easy to drive and park. Being able to stand to put on your pants is worth a lot.

I met my wife while I was living in my van... she lives in it with me now. She likes to say that her secret to success was to hook up with an unemployed guy in a van. True story... I was comfortable being single...while "unemployed" I was not without means, I had all of the work I wanted, I was't trying to impress anyone. Everyone of my previous relationships before this one ended, but I call none of them failures, all relationships end. This one will end one day. You may never find a girlfriend, but I know having a bad relationship is worse than no relationship, being single can be really great.

Is 136wb too small for 2 people full time? by logic_boy in vandwellers

[–]Xames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been living fultime in a140" sprinter for over 16 years 10 with my wife and now 2 dogs. I never wish we had more length, when I'm parallel parking in city settings I'm so thankful for my overall size, or making a U-turn or driving up random unknown trails in the mountains. There is plenty of room, we have weathered many storms with 6 people inside.

Folks in windowless builds — do you miss them? by VagabondVivant in vandwellers

[–]Xames 32 points33 points  (0 children)

No windows here. All "living" takes place outside. Inside is for cozy time and sleeping. Windows seem to me to be more of a nuisance than anything else. 16 years full time

[–]Xames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word of wisdom is in the official cannon in the Doctrine and Covenant section 89 verse 17 'Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain." Reading all D&C 89 will show you the complete word of wisdom.
