Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 , so you say the steel RV's can develope condensation problems. I can't build an RV, so what would be next best thing in terms of RV if the steel ones are not good? --- erikmoldwarrior <erikmoldwarrior@...> wrote: > Hey!

So an aluminum trailer is fine as long as condensation doesn't reach mold suitable substrate. That was one of the modifications he made to his Airstreams. The wooden floor was just too difficult to replace, so people just had to take their chances on that. All the conventional RV's I saw that were properly built for long term use were far out of my price range. But there are some medium priced RV's that are so close to being safe, that if you could intercede at the factory, and substitute aluminum roofcaps and floors instead of plywood, they'd be very trustworthy. The only way I see to get reliable RV's for " moldies " at reasonable cost is to pursuade RV manufacterers to make some modifications. As mold remediators are going to be at the forefront of dealing with desperate people in dire situations, it seems that they would be the logical ones to make a cooperative effort to press for such a " plan B " for their clients. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh > Yes, I felt great in a hangar until a darn compost farm business got started a quarter mile away. It blasted the whole area. All the people for a half mile started having " strange complaints " . One day I was sitting in a restaurant and overheard a guy " doing an interview " for a prospective business manager to run someones business for him, because of failing health. It was the compost farm owner. Just guess what his complaints sounded like! If I had nothing more than a car to help me deal with this, it would preferably be a van of some kind - and I would avoid parking it in a place I perceived to be a mold zone. I would spend as little time as possible in the bad house, and as much time as possible in the car. Actually, that's exactly how I first got started. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Go for the gas guzzlers! Everyone is trying to dump them! Here's an example I found at ebay motors: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1989-Ford-Clubwagon-Van_W0QQitemZ200024097728QQih\ Z010QQcategoryZ6224QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Remember you can set how far you are willing to go to pickup an item at ebay. I suggest setting it at 200 miles. You can also sort by price. Go to ebay motors Make sure you click on the cars and trucks link. I might just do this myself even though I just bought a pickup to get my moldie trailer up here. You could put an air conditioner in the back window, put a mattress in and your in business. Safe and sound it's not as conspicuous as a suv or a car and much much more roomy. You could add more creature comforts as you go along, a dormitory type of fridge, a stove, a microwave etc. It would be a great escape capsule for a relatively small amount of money compared to all the other options. And you can drve it anywhere you please. You can also try autotrader.com Can't guarantee your results though. I have never tried it myself. But the cellulose problem is solved I have thought of this in the past but discounted it for some reason I don't know why.

When we are in the condo, we stay near the front door and leave the windows open. We dont need something too big--just bigger than my toyota. Would a suv or van work?///are there any heated tents? I am grasping at straws. I would appreciate any help as we stay in the car from 4pm to 7 am and it gets kind of scary after dark. abbie >erikmoldwarrior <erikmoldwarrior@...> wrote: , bbw <barb1283@...> wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Abbie, I am in a hotel right now but feel the same desperation, as I cannot afford to stay some place with these prices but I DO feel much better since I have stayed away from house. Actually I have to stop in to care for cat, who has access to outdoors through a pet door but will have to come with me eventally. I'm allergic to cats so can't have him in bedroom with me, or at least I TEST allergic to cats. I have considered van also. I guess you could get sleeping bags designed for sub zero temperatures, etc, but kind of inconvenient for bathroom, etc. A friend thinks I've lost my mind even thinking about this but suffering makes things seem possible you never thought you would consider. --- abbie mccall <abbiebeam@...> wrote: > I did not realize it would be this tough to > find something. oh my gosh we have gotten mcs > from living in this mold hole and have no place > to go.

You would have to run an extension coard to your house. Or have access to a plug. They make fridges that run on gas. But than you start getting into a lot of money.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 IT SAYS IT IS NONTOXIC. MINE LOVED ATTENTION AND WE STARTED HIM OFF ON T AS A KITTEN.
