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: Now We’re Cooking with Grease… er, Propane! | BRV034

<r>My family were not big campers, and by that I mean, I don’t think we went camping, like, ever. My dad went on a fishing trip with his work buddies one time when I was in sixth grade. I’m pretty sure we ate hot dogs and must have slept in a tent, but that’s about […]<br/> <br/> Source: <URL url="h...

BigRobsVan: Fireworks Frenzy | BRV028

<r>After watching hundreds (thousands?) of vanlife-related videos on YouTube I can tell you they can all be sorted into roughly half a dozen categories. In some videos people work on projects or perform repairs, while in others people share video of interesting things they’ve seen or places they’ve ...

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. Plotters are writers who sit down and before ever typing a single word into their computer, plot out their entire novel.

Last year, my buddy Jeff and I made the 1,000 mile drive (each way) in a rented RV. While I owned the van at [...

The only time I look up old posts is to either verify a date or find a link to send to someone. That’s what I was doing over the weekend when I dug up...
