Re: How do nomads insure their toads or tow vehicles?

I understand there is separate RV insurance for full-timers, but what about their toads or tow vehicles?? All insurance quoting systems I have used online ask for the zip code the vehicle will be "garaged" at. There is no check box for full-timer. Do I just put down the zip code for the mail forwarder on my South Dakota DL? Or do you let them know on the phone that you are full-timing with your toad and they can add that note to your policy?1.1KViews0likes6CommentsRe: What is your favorite YouTube RV channel?

Missing Livin Free Mikey from that list. He used to mooch off Lydia but she kicked him out. Check out the channel Nomadic Fanatic Stickers for background on Jacobs Yep, it is rumored he is a convicted felon. But I am more concerned he schemed people out of money to fix his transmission and then bought a new RV instead. That, and failing to send stickers to a whole bunch of people who paid. And you are right about Mike. And he looks different from his channel pic since he gained weight. Now Lydia has some new RV'ing boyfriend.365Views0likes0CommentsWhat is your favorite YouTube RV channel?
I used to love Gone with the Wynns until they became full-time sailors. Now I watch 2012Escapee1 with her Class A and toad. I also like Simply RVing with Lydia who lives in a truck camper with her son. Also Nomadic Fanatic with his Class C and scooter. And Carovan Carolyn, a former cop who lives in a van. And Debajoy, an elderly woman who was forced to who live in a van then mini-van due to income. Did you ever notice that almost all full-timers on YouTube have pets?15KViews0likes54CommentsDoes any full-timer use a slide-in truck camper or van/car?
I would like to know what you do for insurance if you are full-time. The insurance company will want to know where the car is "garaged" or generally kept so they can give your the appropriate rate for your zip code. Do full-timer just give their mail-forwarding address, even though they may never have stepped foot in the place? Is that a problem when you make claims from around the country? I can imagine a claim being denied due to "fraud". The reason I am asking full-time van or car dwellers and truck camper RV'ers is that insurers are not equipped to handle full-timing for vans or trucks, but they are for other RV's.2.4KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Connecting a CPAP machine to a battery?

If you wear the mask 8 hrs the energy consumed can be as high as 50 amps per night. for a single machine. So how big is you house battery? can it carry that usage without totally depleting the battery? Thanks kerrlakeRoo! Not sure, since I don't have an RV yet. I use my van when I travel, but the downside is no power.235Views0likes0CommentsRe: Connecting a CPAP machine to a battery?

It uses a cigarette lighter type plug and the regular 12V wiring. Read the manual on your jump starter carefully. Some of them cannot handle the sustained load of running a CPAP. Here is a link from the Stanley website for the unit shown in your photo. I'm a librarian, good at looking things up, and not an electrician, so I'll leave it to you or your electrical pro to interpret what this manual says about the sort of load your Dream Station will create. You may need the humidifier. Humidity here in SoCal has often been in the single digits lately and my respiratory system has really appreciated having that humidifier. Awesome! I am going to buy that. Also, I am currently in northern NV and the Bay Area of CA. I figure who needs a humidifier with a CPAP if you are used to breathing just normal air in the house or RV. And good advice re charging times in your other post. Sometimes I am just by an outlet to charge for a few hours per day. So it has to charge fast. Either that, or I have to buy multiple batteries.235Views0likes0Comments
