BigRobsVan: Thrift Finds and Lake Chillaxing | BRV038
<r>As a lifetime fan of Venn diagrams, I enjoy when parts of my life overlap. Earlier this year my wife and I rented a booth in a local toy mall where we have been selling retro and vintage toys. A lot of the initial stock came from my own personal collection, but I only have […]<br/> <br/> Source: ...

BLOG: The Hand that Keeps on Giving
<r>I found this plastic severed hand at a garage sale a few months ago. I think I paid a quarter for it and even before we were back in the car I had already got my money’s worth. I tapped Susan on the shoulder with it multiple times, walked around with with it hanging out of my sleeve and tried sha...

BigRobsVan: Thrift Happens! Shopping on a Budget | BRV036
<r>When I started my “vanlife journey,” I did what a lot of dreamers do. I watched a ton of YouTube videos and purchased all the things those people recommended. Back then it never crossed my mind that most of those people were making money off of my purchases. I didn’t understand that those people ...

BigRobsVan: My C.U.B.I.S.T. Stealth Camping System, and Much More | BRV037
<r>This video went off the rails. That’s really the only way to explain it. The idea for this video was to find a new parking spot using my C.U.B.I.S.T. system of stealth camping to show how good my system works. Shortly after parking, my van was surrounding by screaming college-age girls who were e...

BigRobsVan: But Can It Make Popcorn? The AllPowers R2500
<r>(Disclaimer: I purchased the AllPowers R2500 myself and paid retail price on Amazon. I did not receive any discount or payment from AllPowers for this review.) One of my first purchases for my van was a large 1,000Wh power station. I enjoy camping in my van but I also enjoy electricity. I need to...

BLOG: Last Call: The Goodwill Outlet Center
<r>Upon entering our local Goodwill’s Outlet Center I was overcome by a wave of desperation. At first I assumed those feelings were emanating from other customers, digging feverishly through the mountains of stuff. The longer we were there I began to wonder if the vibes weren’t radiating from the st...

BigRobsVan: Using a CPAP in your Van, RV, or Vehicle | BRV035
<r>When it comes to making videos, writing blog posts, and (gosh I hate this term) “creating content,” a few different things motivate me. Some of these things, especially my camping videos, are made for fun because I enjoy making them and I hope people enjoy watching them. Sometimes, however, I cre...

BigRobsVan: Jataza Smart Medial Player: Low Price, Big Screen!
<r>I’ve now reviewed five or six of these smart stereo add-on screens. They’re all similar but have slight differences. For me, it’s easier to simply note the differences between this unit and the others, but to those who haven’t seen all the other reviews, that’s not particularly helpful. For anyon...

BigRobsVan: The Best (and Worst) Vehicles to Live In
<r>A few weeks ago I came across a statistic that was mind boggling. According to a 2022 poll, approximately three million Americans live full time in their vehicles. As the US population is slightly more than 300 million, that means approximately 1% of Americans live in their vehicles full time. I’...

<r>When it comes to writing novels, there are two types of writers: plotters and pantsers.
