looks worth investigating

what are the common file types that the smart phones use for pictures? what are the common file sizes?i will enlarge the file size allowed and see if that make posting pictures easier

next to no posting???

as the guy running it of course i want it to be active but what about you all?

fine how it is going and just stay the course
 or 
drum up some action,start posting the #vanlife key words and get some utube shoutouts?

i could also make it so you have to be a member just to see the forum if you want to go in a more private direction 

remember you guys are in charge and we have over a year before we have to decide to continue or just let it die

I stumbled across the Mirage Trailers websites (miragetrailers.com or mirageinc.com) today when I was looking up trailer parts. Sheesh, you could find most any part you needed from axles to lights if you were building or repairing a trailer!  I can’t comment on their prices but some of the parts would certainly be hard to get otherwise.

Found this in my searches. Might be useful to others. They have many many gaskets,moldings, trim that many of us need or will need at some point.

A fellow vandweller had his rig stolen. His name is Philip Kingsbury. I'm doing my part to spread the word. BOLO..Be On Look Out !! 

From Philip, 
Well dear fellow van dwellers. Stolen Tuesday 12 June 2018 in Tulsa Oklahoma. My 1992 Chevy 30 camper van was stolen from the parking lot of the Tandy YMCA on 51st between Yale and Sheridan. Oklahoma tag HNQ861. Yellow New Mexico Zia symbol vanity tag on front. Two Zia symbol stickers on the back windows. One yellow one blue. Antenna has electrical tape around the base and the passenger side mirror has some electrical tape on it too. Police contact # 918-596-1100. Officer Biskup Riverside Division.

If anyone reading this is on other forums or sites please take the time to post it there. I'd do it for you if it were your rig.

This is for us minimalists. If you have a larger vehicle, Very unlikely you'd take a shine to these types of stoves.

However, if you have limited space (and $), keep reading; these are about as awesome as you get.
The single burner takes up next to no space, and a gallon of white gas will last forever.
In fact, you can (and I have) run it on gasoline from my vehicle's tank.


   

I've had two White Gas Coleman stoves, a double burner and single burner.
Link to Coleman Single burner

Although Coleman wants $$, you can get one on craigslist for $10-15. These are the stoves you remember as a kid, where you'd pump up the pressure manually. There's tens of thousands out there, little used.

It does burn really hot- I nearly always run it on the 'Flood' setting, medium and high will boil water as fast as a microwave.

I usually set it on a 5 gallon bucket. If it's raining, windy or cold I'll set it in the van, although I'm absolutely sure it's streng verboten.

I went from the big, noisy two burner, to the tiny single burner, because, well, I have a caravan.
I haven't tipped anything over on the single burner, but you can see it's a bit precarious.
The single burner did have problems with flooding, it will 'flare up.' And that's not cool.
You also need to set it outside after you shut it off, a little raw vapor escapes from the mixer or something.

In short, if you have a small vehicle and a small budget, this is for you.
Even if you have a class A or a coach, it might be handy for cooking away from the vehicle-
It's small enough to put in a backpack, and you could do a week on just what's in the tank.
Best is; no more stupid propane canisters.

Looking for items to go in my bus. Saw this...looks very compact. What do yall think?
