Guns in RVs

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

dimanche 22 juin 2025 • Durée 12:31

Send a text

On this episode, I'm going to do my best to leave politics to the pundits and just talk about some things to consider if you plan to travel with a firearm. Discussions on the topic of firearms seem to often become discussions of rights, or the latest gadgets. I'm doing none of this, but I am going to bring up some things you may not have considered before deciding that you will hit the road, packing heat.

Buy or DIY: Van Power in 2025

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

samedi 7 juin 2025 • Durée 23:54

Send a text

In this episode, I discuss van power systems and whether or not it still makes sense to build your own in 2025. All-in-one power stations have come down in price, and it may be better to buy a turn-key system instead of building your own. I'll compare the price of a popular power station ("solar generator") to my own system, along with what it will take to power the air conditioner in my Odyssey camper conversion.
