    It's so interesting to watch this. My late husband and I did van life 20 years ago with paper maps, no cell phones all over the country. We spent a lot of time in Ocean Beach, it wasn't crowded then and so wonderful. I went back to Ocean Beach in 2020, I was shocked how crowded OB was

    My van friend spent the last 10 years saving all she would have paid in rent$ ( before the rents skyrocketed)...found a house the other day for a little over $250,000.....paid cash for it and said...for all the people who didn't help me...Success 😊 is the greatest revenge....it doesn't make her happy to see that some of those people are now losing their homes..

    Starlink is great for off grid use. I have a starlink and it was so surreal being able to get online while parked on the rim of the grand canyon and my phone had 0 service.
    That being said, you're completely right. It's a pain. For city living I would use something like what you're describing. But if I was gonna spend a few months on the road in places with no towers, starlink is a great back up.
    Plus you can turn starlink on or off each month as you need it.

      @@nomadbrad503 you mean the congress. Obama signed it. And they call it Obamacare. But it was the republicans who insisted on the penalty "tax" for the non-insured. The democrats conceded to their wishes (also eliminating the public option which would've kept costs down for everyone) and then the republicans STILl didn't vote.
      Masterful politics if you don't give a shit at all about the people of the country.
      The original obamacare, modelled after romneycare and originally a REPUBLICAN idea would've saved this country TRILLIONS while ensuring that most people had better care than they could ever have afforded on their own.

      We have people with residency in Texas for income tax live in Montana with no sales tax. I've had a few people fly up to get their Montana residency from California. One guy said he was using his son's address, he doesn't talk to him, and then mailed it to California. Has all his vehicles registered here, "because it's cheaper", registered to vote here, too. Then had the nerve to complain about what he is doing about other people.
      I'd say about 75% of the licenses I transfer are from California. Several from Oregon or Washington, a few from Minnesota, Arizona and Texas. Those are the typical ones. Not much from the rest.

    Great video as usual. This is a little off topic but have you ever drawn a layout of your electrical? I am converting a 5 window bus, want to go mainly electrical (no LP) and need a/c nearly constantly (Florida). I have watched most if not all of your videos including the wire clean up... I 'm still a little confused and a wire diagram or layout drawing would be great. Just asking. Thanks again for all of your great content.

      I haven’t created a diagram because the electrical will be unique to each build. I do offer assistance in creating a diagram and selecting components. Email me if you’re interested nomadbrad503@gmail.com

      Yeah about the only time we don't need A/C here is from Nov through about April and even then you're gonna have some toasty days. You're gonna need a LOTTA power to run A/C without using your engine. May wanna consider wind in addition to filling your roof up with solar because even a 5000BTU A/C sucks down the electrons like bigtime. At least you CAN get away with just a fan though once that big yellow orb goes bye-bye.

    Welcome to San Diego, I grew up in Mission Beach, the best part of my life living on the beach. I'm alot alot older now and live just a few miles inland, but I get down there often, ride my 3 wheel trike on the boardwalk. San Diego is the best place to be born and raised. It's the most beautiful city.

    Didn't know about Nomad until I ran across you. Now for a fixed station Comcast here in West Palm Beach has introduced this thing called "NOW" for an intro price of $30/mo which is cheap as hell for 100 down or thereabouts. However I'm currently paying $110/mo for blazing down (that I do not need and there's no option for going to something cheaper) for Xfinity. That's just too many $$. So I'm gonna try their G5 cellular solution but the thing is do I need a G5 phone? Because right now I'm perfectly satisfied with my G4 Metro PCS service here in the county. however if I need a G5 phone AND their service as well that would not be so good.
