Although solar radiation at the surface plays a determinant role in carbon discrimination in tree rings, stable carbon isotope chronologies (δ13C) have often been interpreted as a temperature proxy due to the co-variability of temperature and surface solar radiation. Furthermore, even when surface solar radiation is assumed to be the main driver of 13C discrimination in tree rings, δ13C records have been calibrated against sunshine duration or cloud cover series for which longer observational records exists. In this study, we use different instrumental and satellite data over northeast Spain (southern Europe) to identify the main driver of tree-ring 13C discrimination in this region. Special attention is paid to periods in which the co-variability of those climate variables may have been weaker, such as years after large volcanic eruptions. The analysis identified surface solar radiation as the main driver of tree-ring δ13C changes in this region, although the influence of other climatic factors may not be negligible. Accordingly, we suggest that a reconstruction of SSR over the last 600 years is possible. The relation between multidecadal variations of an independent temperature reconstruction and surface solar radiation in this region shows no clear sign, and warmer (colder) periods may be accompanied by both higher and lower surface solar radiation. However, our reconstructed records of surface solar radiation reveals a sunnier Little Ice Age in agreement with other δ13C tree-ring series used to reconstruct sunshine duration in central and northern Europe.

I want to buy a van!
In fact, I've wanted one for a while (it's been on my bucket list for years). The time has come to finally make it happen.
I'm excited, and just spent an hour scrolling through Gumtree looking through what's available near me. It definitely got the juices flowing!
It was also cool to see how much stuff usually comes with a second-hand camper.
Almost every single RV came with masses of camping gear, cooking equipment, bedding, lights, and so on…basically, all the stuff the previous owner had acquired, and no longer needed.
…One of them even had a flipping two-seater sea kayak that came with it!
This got me thinking:
What items/gear would I potentially want/need to have in the van?
I thought I'd put together a list of what I came up with. It's my official van-life wish-list!
Looking for RV gifts to buy your fellow van lovers? Well, here's a comprehensive list of ideas. Check out 100 of the best gifts for RV owners!
Heading into RV life yourself? Check out this guide on making the transition!
An Exhaust-ive List of 100 Best Gifts for RV Owners
1. Solar Panel
Solar panels offer vital (and clean!) power to electronics when the battery isn't running.
Fridges can function, phones can charge, and lights can operate without issue! It's hard to overstate the value of these things to a campervanner!
2. Portable Solar Charger
You don't need a full-scale solar panel (even if they'd make an epic RV gift).
These days, you can find portable options. They can charge multiple devices at the same time, all without running the van.
They're top gifts for anyone with lots of things to charge at once!
Top Pick: Ryno Tuff Solar Charger
3. Solar/Crank Charger
An obvious downside of solar chargers is the reliance on sunshine!
Unfortunately, that can't always be relied upon. An additional crank means RV owners can combine an arm workout with power generation. Problem solved.
Top Pick: Fospower Emergency Solar Hand Crank
4. Power Usage Monitor
Want to track how much power you're using? With limited energy available, that's not a bad idea.
Getting someone a power usage monitor would make a top little gift.
Top Pick: Baldr Electricity Monitor
5. Portable LED Lights
Sometimes a portable light is the best bet though.
LED versions are more energy efficient, meaning they'll last longer before losing power. They'd make convenient light sources in any van!
Top Pick: Everbrite LED Lights (6 Pack)
6. Head Torch
You can't go travelling and not have a head torch.
They just come in handy all the time! Mainly because they free your hands up for any given task. Whenever it's dark and you need your hands free, a head torch is ideal.
Top Pick: Cobiz 6000 Lumen Head Torch
7. Safe/Valuables Box
I'm a little worried about keeping all my worldly possessions and valuables in a van.
Having a safe/valuables box will be important. It just keeps things out of sight, and away from prying eyes. I can leave the van unattended without worrying quite so much about someone breaking in.
Sure, they could steal the entire van, in which case I'm totally screwed. But I'm going to pretend that's not a problem I have to deal with…
Top Pick: Amazon Basics Portable Safe
8. USB Adaptor (cigarette lighter/converter)
Charging on the road will be a constant endeavour.
Having a USB adaptor to provide multiple ports would make a big difference. Meaning that these adaptors would make great gifts!
Top Pick: Ainope USB Charger
9. Polaroid Camera
For me, living and/or travelling in a campervan is all about making memories.
A Polaroid camera would be an awesome way of recording the journey as it happens. The instant printing would also mean its super convenient for creating cool van displays/decorations too.
Top Pick: Fujifilm Instax Mini Polaroid Camera
10. 'Proper' Camera
Obviously, a non-Polaroid camera would make an incredible present as well.
I guess that's true at any time. But travelling in a van seems prime photography territory- you'll be moving through so many amazing places, and having so many new experiences, that the chance for photos will be neverending.
Having a good-quality camera would be awesome. If you're interested, here's a list of top quality backpacking cameras to take a look at.
Top Pick: Canon T6 Rebel DSLR
11. Portable Tripod
No-one wants their camera falling over as they hit the road.
A portable tripod that can grip awkward places would make an ideal present for van-lifers with a penchant for photography.
Top Pick: Ubeesize Tripod
12. Journal
Cameras would be great for recording the journey in visual form.
But, for me, there's no replacement for writing stuff down. I always carry a tiny notebook with me for that reason! A journal would make a top gift for anyone wanting to remember their experience better.
Top Pick: Newester Refillable Travel Journal
13. Coffee Maker
I love coffee.
I will 100% need a way of brewing a morning coffee when I get my van. I'd be a happy man if someone gifted me any sort of coffee maker.
14. Camping Tea-Infuser
A tea-infuser would be another must-have item for any tea-loving RV-owning individual.
Giving them one will make their day.
Top Pick: Pure Zen Tea Tumbler and Infuser
15. Thermos
Having a thermos means you can keep all that tea and coffee warmer for longer.
And that equates to a whole lot of extra happiness.
Top Pick: Stanley Classic Thermos
16. Camping Stove
A wise man once said:
The van may run on diesel. But a person cannot.
No-one ever said that. The truth remains though:
Sooner or later, you gotta cook a real meal! A quality camping stove provides the perfect solution. Gifting someone the ability to cook their dinner is a beautiful thing.
Top Pick: Coleman Gas Stove
17. Matches/Lighter
They might not sound like much. But weatherproof matches and/or a decent lighter are both crucial components of any camping trip. They'd make awesome opening presents as a result.
Top Pick: Lcfun Waterproof Lighter
18. Cookware
It's all well and good having the camping stove and the matches. But without the pots and pans to boot, those meals are going to be far harder to cook!
Cookware is another example of essential RV gear. Anyone kitting out a camper will be sure to value receiving it.
Top Pick: Bulin Camping Cookware Kit
19. Washing-Up Equipment
Washing up gear is hardly the most glamorous gift going. But it's most definitely useful and valuable from a practical standpoint!
It's a bit like getting socks at Christmas. As unimaginative as it is, they'll almost certainly be put to good use.
Top Pick: Prepworks Collapsible Dish Drainer
20. Magnetic Spice Rack
This one's sure to spice things up a bit…
…Get it?
Top Pick: Talented Kitchen Magnetic Spice Tins x12
21. Water Bottle
A good-quality, non-leaky water bottle always comes in handy on the road.
Why not combine it with a water purifier? Whenever the RV owner pulls up somewhere off the beaten track, they'll still be able to drink any water source that's in the area.
22. Shatterproof Tableware
Camping plates, mugs and glasses will always go down well.
It's more vital stuff for any van owner to pack. Ordinary crockery is unlikely to stand up to bumps in the road- hence why it needs to be shatterproof!
Top Pick: Stansport Enamel Camping Tableware Set
23. Portable Wine Glass Holder
Why would anyone need these? Well, because, wine not?
...Man I'm nailing these jokes today.
Seriously though, these would make a big wine-drinking difference to anyone partial to a tipple on the road.
Top Pick: Outdoor Portable Wine Glass Holder
24. Pictures (Photo Frames)
Pictures help make a house a home.
The same goes with a new van. Putting up pictures of treasured memories, friends and loved ones will make the space feel far more welcoming.
Get your hands on some picture frames and stick some family photos inside. They'd make an awesome gift.
Top Pick: Love-Kankei Wooden Photo Frame
25. Bedside Caddy/Holder
Any additional storage space will help when limited space is a problem.
These bedside holders would make a great addition to the RV.
Top Pick: Bedside Caddy
26. Plants
I love the idea of having a load of plants in my van.
A bit of greenery is always nice to have around, right? Easy to maintain plants that can take a bit of rough and tumble in the back of a van, would make an awesome present.
Top Pick: Mkono Wooden Plant Stand
27. Good Luck Charms/Crystals
Right, so this one won't be for everyone.
But I just wrote a monster piece on travel crystals, so it's fresh in my memory! Some people take crystals on their travels for good luck, safety and protection. Being gifted some to take in their van might just make someone's day!
Top Pick: Nelson Creations Amethyst Angel
28. Drinks Tray (No Slide)
No-one wants their drinks sliding around in the van.
These handy little gizmos put a stop to that.
Top Pick: Cup Cozy Deluxe Drinks Holder
29. GPS System
Obviously, being in an RV is all about the freedom to move. That equates to a fair degree of driving.
A GPS system would serve a truly useful purpose on the road. Any RV owner who doesn't already own one is sure to value it as a gift.
Top Pick: Aonerex GPS Navigation System
30. Internet Dongle
Stable Wi-Fi is one thing I'll miss when I eventually get my van.
That's why I've been thinking about getting an internet dongle (those things that plug into a computer to provide internet).
Anyone needing to use their laptop on the road (as I will) is sure to find this a helpful addition.
Top Pick: Plugable Ethernet USB Cable
31. Knife
A knife is another bit of kit that I count as fundamental to travelling/backpacking/camping.
It's one of those things that comes in handy all the time on the road.
Speaking from experience, being given a high-quality knife is very cool indeed.
Top Pick: Gerber Bear Grylls Knife
32. Multi-Tool
If a knife is a good gift, then a multi-tool is a great one.
Especially because there's often a knife on them anyway!
Obviously, these things can be used to solve all manner of problems on the move. Having one to call upon in the van would be awesome.
Top Pick: Rovertac Pocket Multi Tool with Knife
33. Camping Chairs
There's nothing wrong with sitting on the bare earth! But, every now and again, the luxury of a seat makes a nice change…especially when it's cold and damp out.
Why not gift someone the joy of a well-supported undercarriage? They'll almost definitely thank you for it!
Top Pick: Coleman Portable Camping Chair
34. Camping Table
Every home needs a dining table.
The same goes for homes on wheels! Having a camping table would be a lovely addition to the RV (if there isn't one in there already).
You can pull out in the evenings, prepare meals more easily, and eat around it with friends.
Top Pick: Lifetime Height Adjustable Camping Table
35. Shoe Holder
Staying organised is key to maintaining some order to a small space!
Anything that lends itself to that purpose would be a worthwhile addition to the van. A shoe holder would keep dirty shoes in one place, and stop them moving all over the place on the road.
Top Pick: Misslo Hanging Door Holder
36. Packing Cubes
I love packing cubes.
They force you to be more organized with your stuff, and keep everything together. You know where your things are, and they won't start spreading out all over the place.
A must for anyone who with a tendency towards disorganisation!
Top Pick: Bagail Pack of 6 Packing Cubes
37. Storage Boxes
Staying organized in the van is sure to be a constant battle.
Small spaces are always easier to mess up. Losing things in amongst it all is going to be easy.
Having storage boxes for all your stuff, to go with your packing cubes, will make a difference.
Top Pick: Amazon Basics Foldable Storage Cubes
38. Soccer Balls, Footballs…All the Balls.
You can't drive all day!
And whenever you're stationary, van-lifers will almost certainly want something to keep them entertained.
Having a football to kick around with friends and travel companions would be a great little addition.
Consider buying a pump to go with it too. That way, they could keep the ball flat when it's not in use (saving space and preventing it from rolling around) and pump it up when they need it.
Top Pick: Wilson Traditional Soccer Ball
39. Slammo Game
Similar to the football, it'd be great to have something like Slammo to play with at campgrounds and beaches, and so on.
I saw it in action recently and it looks like great fun! As long as there's enough space, it'd make a great RV gift.
Top Pick: GoSports Slammo Game
40. Frisbee
Frisbees would make another ideal entertainment item to have in the van! For beaches, campsites, parks and so on, frisbees are a classic!
Top Pick: Discraft Frisbee
41. Board Games
You can't go wrong with board games.
Bringing them out on cozy nights in the van with friends, with the fairly lights on and a beer/glass of wine in hand…man that sounds nice!
Top Pick: Kingdomino Board Game
42. Inflatable Kayak
I got this idea from the van I just saw for sale online.
There's was a legit, solid kayak though that was stored on top of the vehicle! I love the idea of having a kayak for any time I came across a lake, or the ocean, etc.
I'd say an inflatable one is more practical though. It'd be an epic present, and take up less room too.
Top Pick: Intex Challenger K1 1-Person Kayak
43. Portable Speakers
I can't imagine driving long distances without music on in the van.
Sure, the van itself might already have some decent speakers in it. But the music stops when the engine isn't on! Having some portable speakers to bring out when you're in one place would make all the difference.
Equally the quality of the portable speaker may be better than the RV's anyway; it might not be possible to play music through them from your phone/iPod/MP3 etc.
Speakers would always make an awesome gift for the road.
Top Pick: OontZ Angle 3 Bluetooth Speakers
44. Portable Radio
A good quality portable radio may be more up someone's street.
There's probably one in the van already. But the radios in old RVs are unlikely to be the best.
Equally, you'd need the engine running for this as well. Having a high-quality radio could be great for those longer drives, and for chilling out to music or listening to the news in the evenings.
Top Pick: Panasonic RF-2400D AM/FM Radio
45. Duvet
Bedding will be all-important in the campervan!
On cold nights, a thick, warm duvet to snuggle down under will be essential. It'll add a cosy feel to the space too, and make for a bed to enjoy sleeping in.
Top Pick: Linenspa All-Season Down Duvet
46. Mattress Topper
The mattress will be all important to getting a good night's sleep in the van.
Mattress toppers provide that bit of extra cushion to soften the experience!
I'll 100% prioritize the bed to ensure it's as comfortable as it can be. I'd love to be given a mattress topper to help in that endeavour.
Top Pick: Linenspa 2-Inch Gel Infused Memory Foam
47. Pillows
Just like the duvet, some good quality pillows are essential additions to the RV.
It's like giving someone a better night's sleep! Here are the best backpacking pillows out there.
Top Pick: Beckham Luxury Hypoallergenic Pillow
48. Cushions
Everyone loves cushions, right? A bit of extra comfort never goes amiss. They'd definitely help make the van feel more like home.
Top Pick: Yifan Throw Pillow Covers x6
49. Hand Warmers
Everyone hates being cold.
Living in a campervan in colder climates doesn't sound ideal to me. Having anything to help stay warm would be more than welcome!
On long and dark nights on the road, a set of hand warmers could be a lifesaver.
Top Pick: Hotsnapz Reusable Pocket Warmers
50. Indoor Heater
This gift would generally only be required for RV owners in colder climates.
Having any sort of heating system would be essential- especially for night times. I'm positive that a small, safe, indoor heater would be happily received by anyone in these conditions!
Top Pick: Mr. Heater Buddy Portable Propane Heater
51. Mosquito Net
Mosquitos and gnats (and any other small, buzzy and bite-y bugs) are best avoided on the road. Obviously, it's most important for mosquitos, which can carry harmful diseases.
Campsites are often in remote areas, next to water sources…aka, a haven for these kinds of insects.
Hanging a mosquito net up in the van could save a whole lot of strife in certain places!
Top Pick: Coghlan's Mosquito Net
52. Hammock
There's nothing better than packing a hammock for the road.
Even if you only use it once or twice, those blissful moments make it worthwhile. There's just something inherently special about swinging between trees in beautiful surroundings.
Top Pick: Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock
53. Tent
They've got a van! Why would they need a tent?!
Well, what about if they want to go for a multiday hike? Or if there's no space for the RV on a campsite, and they can only pitch a tent? Or if they just want a break from the van?
Whatever the reason, tents always tend to come in handy (here's a post full of the best tents to choose from).
Top Pick: Bessport 2 Person Tent
54. Sleeping Bag
If you're using the tent, then you definitely want a sleeping bag to go with it.
Likewise, on particular cold nights, a sleeping bag could serve as extra bedding to stay warm.
Top Pick: MalloMe 3-Season Sleeping Bag
55. Blankets/Throws
Again, a warm, welcoming, and cozy space is what every van needs!
Some lovely, cuddly blankets will always make valued gifts.
Top Pick: Bourina Throw
56. Backpack
At first, the thought of having a backpack in the van might not make sense.
But I suppose it's a bit like taking a tent: it's sure to come in handy at numerous points. Again, multiday hikes are a prime example.
Likewise, if you sell the RV, then you'll need something to pack your remaining things into (check out my buying guide to the best backpacks for travel, if you'd like some ideas!).
Top Pick: Mountain Top 40L Hiking Backpack
57. Day Pack
A day pack is sure to get put to good use too.
Backpacks are big, and often excessive for shorter outings. Having a smaller pack is far better.
Here's a guide to minimalist backpacks that'd be ideal.
Top Pick: Osprey Packs Talon 22L
58. Fairy Lights
Oh man, I can't wait to put some fairy lights up when I get my van.
I guarantee they'll be one of my very first decorative additions! They just help create such a nice warm atmosphere. I reckon they're great anywhere.
In the confines of a van, that ambient glow will be even more welcome!
Top Pick: Twinkle Star 300 LED Fairy Lights
59. Books
I love the idea of having a bookshelf in my van.
But a bookshelf without books is just, well…a shelf. And that's far less appealing to me.
Books makes the best gifts anyway. On long journeys, or just for life in an RV, having something to read will help make a van a home.
Top Pick: The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
60. Washing Line
Let's get practical. It'll also be helpful to have somewhere to hang your wet clothes.
Far from glamorous as far as gifts go, I know! But it'd genuinely come in handy. And, often, that's just as important.
Top Pick: Vshinic Travel Clothes Line
61. Washing Line Pegs
Hint: to go with the washing line…
Pegs are also meant to be a useful addition to any van anyway. They can be used to hanging pictures up, connecting curtains together, and generally attaching one thing to another!
Top Pick: Honey-Can-Do Wooden Pegs
62. Duct Tape
Okay, I'm not going to lie, if someone gave me duct tape for my birthday I wouldn't be super impressed.
But I still think it deserves a place on this list! Duct tape is an incredible thing for any travel experience. It can fix almost anything!
It's sure to be put to use in the van.
Top Pick: Gorilla Tape
63. Cool Box
If there's no room and option for a fridge, then a cool box will be the next best thing.
Having something to keep food fresh will obviously be useful on the road. Think of it like this: you're gifting someone the joy of keeping their beers colder for longer.
That's only ever going to go down well.
Top Pick: Klein Tools Cooler
64. Window Covers
Again, someone's unlikely to weep with unbridled joy at being given window covers.
But you can't argue against their practical function. You don't want random people looking in at your during the night!
Window covers/curtains mean you can hide yourselves and your things from unwanted prying eyes.
Top Pick: Shade Sox Window Covers
65. Grill Set
RVs, camping and spending time outdoors calls for a BBQ.
A grill set would make a genuinely useful, and lovely, addition to the van.
Top Pick: Romanticist 21 Piece Grill Set
66. Water Filtration System
The thought of getting sick inside an RV isn't pleasant- especially if there's no loo inside.
No-one wants to tummy bug without a toilet nearby!
Access to clean water might be minimal in certain places on the road. A water filter would mean you could drink what's there, and have a much better chance of staying well.
67. Scented Candles/Incense
Campervans are an enclosed space!
You've got all your stuff in there. Dirty clothes, smelly shoes, old bedding…whatever. It's going to get a little pongy at times.
Having scented candles (or an air freshener), or incense, to burn, would help you pretend there wasn't a problem…
Also, candles are always nice to have around anyway!
Top Pick: Wild Lemongrass Scented Candle
68. Insect Repellent Candles
Having something to keep the insects away in the evening might come in handy.
Insect repellent candles to light outside would make a thoughtful gift.
Top Pick: YIIA Citronella Candles
69. Welcome Mat
A welcome mat would be a lovely touch for the RV. Anything that makes the place seem more homely would always be welcome.
There's nothing better than a welcome mat for that.
Top Pick: Printed PVC Welcome Mat
70. Petrol Canisters
Back to practicalities:
You don't want to run out of petrol on long drives, with no access to a gas station. Petrol canisters would make that eventuality less likely.
This is something that almost every van I was looking at online had as a freebie thrown in. They clearly come in helpful!
Top Pick: 5L Plastic Fuel Canister
71. Water Canisters
Likewise, with water. Think how much you use on a daily basis at home.
Carrying spare water for the road will be essential. With no alternative sources, it'd be used for cooking, doing the dishes, washing, and so on.
I consider water canisters essential van items.
Top Pick: Collapsible Water Storage Cube
72. Fridge Air Freshener
A nice little addition to RV fridges and/or cool boxes. No-one wants a smelly fridge in such close quarters!
Top Pick: MaQma Bamboo Purifying Air Freshener
73. Fridge Braces
One of my pet peeves is when things jingle and clink and generally make annoying noises when I'm driving!
If I have a fridge in my van, having these braces to keep things in place would be vital! They'd be great for preventing annoying noises, and stopping leaks and spillages too.
Top Pick: Camco RV Fridge Brace
74. Picnic Blanket
Sitting on a blanket is generally nicer than being on the cold bare earth, right?
In evenings spent outside of the RV, a picnic blanket would serve that purpose perfectly.
Top Pick: Scuddles Outdoor Picnic Blanket
75. Laundry Bag
Remember those dirty clothes I talked about?
Well, having a designated laundry bag for them will help keep the smells at bay until you get to a laundromat! This one's another practical gift that's sure to be put to good use.
Top Pick: Polecasa Mesh Laundry Bag
76. Portable Fan
We've covered the cold, but what about when it gets hot?
In my experience, vans get like green-houses when the sun comes out and you're stationary. Having a fan to get the air moving would be a much needed reprieve from the heat.
Top Pick: SkyGenius Clip On Fan
77. Insect Zapper
You've got the mosquito net and insect candles.
But what of the ones that get through? It's only a matter of time before a bug gets in the van. Having an insect zapper would help you do battle with it.
Top Pick: Elucto Electric Bug Zapper
78. Dash Camera
There are some nutters on the road.
A dash cam comes in handy for recording their mistakes, and supporting your insurance claims.
Top Pick: Apeman 1080p Dashcam
79. First Aid Kit
Everything's going well, and then, before you know it, life happens.
It's likely that you'll hurt yourself at some point on the road. Thankfully, 9 times out of 10 it's nothing serious.
Having a first-aid kit would mean you're more prepared for the issue. I always travel with one, just in case.
Top Pick: Surviveware Small First Aid Kit
80. Tool Box (& Tools)
A first-aid kit means you can handle minor health issues on the go.
In the same way, a basic tool box means you can deal with minor mechanical problems too.
You never know when they might be called for on the road. For that reason, I think it'd make a quality gift for any RVer.
Top Pick: Dekopro 168-Piece Auto-Repair Toolbox
81. Carbon Monoxide Detector
Cooking in enclosed spaces can cause all sorts of serious health risks.
I've not read into this, but I can only guess carbon monoxide is a hazard to take seriously. A detector could save someone's life.
Top Pick: Nest Protect Second Gen Detector
82. Clip On Extended Wing Mirrors
Being able to see the road properly is obviously somewhat important when driving!
That's often easier said than done in longer vehicles like RVs though. These extended mirrors clip on to the wing mirrors, enhancing levels of sight behind you.
You never know, they could save someone's life!
Top Pick: Fit System Deluxe Clip On Mirrors
83. Dustpan and Brush
Right, so, a dustpan and brush is clearly another not-so-inspiring gift.
But whoever you give it to won't be complaining when they get crumbs in their bed, or dirt all over the floor!
Top Pick: Oxo Good Grips Dustpan and Brush Set
84. Laptop Stand
Now this is something I definitely will look into buying for my van.
I'm obviously on my laptop quite a lot for my writing. I'll miss having a table/desk to rest it on when I'm in the van. A laptop stand would make a decent replacement.
Top Pick: Huanuo Lap Desk
85. Laptop
Feeling generous?! A laptop is sure to go down a treat with anyone you give it to!
I think it'd make van-life that bit more enjoyable too. You can watch movies in the evening, stay in touch with friends and family back home, and so on.
It would be a prized extra outlet for entertainment, and connecting with others on the road.
Top Pick: Apple Macbook Air
86. Kindle
I've never warmed to kindles. But I totally see the value in them while you're travelling.
They're most definitely more practical than hauling half a dozen books around. If space is of the essence in the van, then having a kindle (instead of a bookshelf…) makes more sense.
Any avid reader is sure to love this as a gift.
Top Pick: White Kindle with Front Light
87. Exercise Bands
I'm a bit worried that living in a van could turn into a sedentary affair.
What with driving all day, before then moving into the back to go to sleep, and all…
Obviously, I can stop and go for a run, or a walk, or a swim in a lake etc. But I'm sure I'll want something to stretch out my muscles a bit as well. Resistance bands are always a good bet.
Top Pick: Lets Fit Resistance Loop Bands
88. Campervan Magazine Subscription
Want to give someone something a bit different?
If they're really into the RV life, then the best gift might be a magazine subscription all about it.
The mailing address will be something to consider, but the subscription itself is sure to be highly valued by true RV enthusiasts.
89. Van Leveller Kit
Sleeping on uneven ground isn't fun.
A levelling kit solves the problem! Parked up on wonky ground, they're placed under the wheels to right the angle.
Whoever receives these will be sleeping horizontally in no time, and have you to thank for it!
Top Pick: Beech Lane Camper Leveler Kit
90. Extension Ladder
Big RVs call for an extension ladder to get onto the roof etc. Indeed, many have fixed ladders in place already. For those that don't, a portable one (like the ladder below) would be genuinely useful to get as a gift.
91. Tyre Pressure Gauge
Man, I hope I get a tyre pressure gauge one day.
Said very few people, ever.
Though it obviously isn't hugely exciting, a pressure gauge would be a vital means of checking your tyres on the road!
Top Pick: Jaco Elite Pro Tyre Pressure Gauge 100 PSI
92. Trash Can
I'd probably laugh a little bit if I got a bin as a birthday or Christmas gift.
…Until I looked around my van and saw all the rubbish lying around. At which point I'd count myself lucky to have a new bin to keep things cleaner.
It'd also be good for free campsites where trash cans aren't always provided. You take out what you take in- leaving rubbish behind is a big no-no.
Top Pick: Coghlan's Pop Up Trash Can
93. Extraction Mats
Off-roading is always a risk for anything other than a 4x4.
I remember seeing numerous vehicles get stuck on 90 Mile Beach, New Zealand. The cars/vans just weren't cut out for it. We had to dig them out of the sand.
If someone's partial to the odd bit of off-roading, consider buying them some extraction mats.
These will help get them out of trouble if they end up stuck in the mud.
Top Pick: MaxFavour Emergency Traction Mats
94. Campfire Rings
Everyone loves a campfire!
But not every campsite, or location where you park the van, will be set up for them.
Campfire rings mean you can do it anyway! Give someone the first of fire! They'll love you for it.
Top Pick: Camco Portable Campfire Rings
95. Portable Shower
Portable showers would make a nice fall-back in case of lengthy absences from proper bathroom facilities and so on.
No-one wants to make their living space dirty. I'm all for skipping a shower or two, but it'd just get unhygienic over time.
Staying clean on the road is obviously important. Having a backup portable shower would be a useful things to keep tucked away, in case of emergency BO situations.
96. Portable Toilet
Talk about glamour.
Give the gift of a portable toilet today. You never know when it might come in handy.
Top pick: Reliance Products Luggable Loo
97. Portable Vacuum Cleaner
Here's another cleaning-related RV gift idea!
A portable vacuum cleaner would beat the dust pan and brush idea hands down. It'd make a great gift in the process.
Top Pick: Homasy Hand-Held Vacuum Cleaner
98. Dog Basket/Bed
This gift idea will only apply to a niche group of RV-ers:
Those lucky ones who get to travel with their dogs in tow!
if they don't want the dog in the bed while they're up front in the driver's seat, then a dog bed will come be required!
Top Pick: PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed
99. Un-Spillable Doggy Bowls
Sticking with the pet theme, for a second.
What happens when you combine a bumpy road with a dog bowl full of food and water?
…Mess. Mess happens.
No-one wants dirty dog food and water drifting around the back of RV!
These un-spillable bowls will make all the difference!
Top Pick: Neater Feeder Elevated Dog Bowl
100. She-Wee
Last but not least!
A she-wee. Never heard of them? They're clever little things that help girls stand up to go to the bathroom.
"Why on earth would that be a good gift for someone with a van?!"
I hear you ask.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure myself. What I do know is that this is idea #100 and I'm officially running low on inspiration…
Equally, I, for one, take the ability to wee standing up for granted!
In random camping spots with no cubicles around, I'd definitely be reluctant to squat over dirty ground with all sorts of unknown bugs and stuff beneath me. This would definitely come in handy.
Top Pick: SheWee Flexi

It is basically a normal file with inode number 0 (this is defined in the ntfs specifications) which contains all metadata concerning all inodes (including the metadata describing the $MFT itself[1]).
Best regards, Anton[1] Yes, this is a circular reference, but the partition's bootsector contains sufficient information to resolve it unambiguously by pointing you to the disk sectors containing the metadata for $MFT itself). This is also why it has to be inode zero, otherwise the resolution of the circular reference wouldn't work any more.

The majority of the vehicles found at local auctions will need some work done to them in order to be deemed "road-worthy." Knowing this before you ever set foot on the grounds is a major part of deciding if this is the right way for you to source an automobile. A low bid on a crappy car has the potential to leave you stranded on the side of the road, so if you aren't a savvy DIY wrencher, you'd better have one hell of a trustworthy mechanic.

If you want to buy goods at or below cost, look no further than the U.S. government. Federal and state agencies sell nearly anything you can think of: cars, boats, jewelry, antiques, artwork, aircraft, real estate, houses, clothing, electronics, tools, furniture and medical equipment. The government sells surplus merchandise it no longer needs and items it obtains when it seizes property from criminals or forecloses on homes.
Several different federal agencies hold government auctions. The General Services Administration is the granddaddy of them all, because it sells on behalf of other departments. When a federal agency no longer needs something — say, a pickup truck — it reports the truck to GSA, which first offers it to other federal agencies and then to state and local governments or nonprofits. If nobody claims the truck, then the GSA auctions it off to the public, and you get your chance at it.

Remember, you aren't allowed to drive these vehicles, but you are granted access to them prior to the auction, and getting up close can reveal all kinds of hidden maladies. Look for things like paint overspray, uneven sheet metal, compromised suspension components, undercarriage rust, and anything else that looks out of place. Interior aroma is another major thing to watch out for, so be wary of things like gasoline aromas and mildew, because even though they may dissipate eventually, there's a strong chance they represent a much larger issue.

Government auctions are a great way to snag a retiring cop cruiser on the cheap, and being owned and run by the feds, you better believe it's going to have records of every oil change, spark plug, and water pump that went into the damn thing. Nevertheless, it's always best to remain objective, because even though it's being sold by the United States government, that doesn't mean it hasn't been thrashed. The competition at these things can also be pretty fierce at times (cab companies love old Crown Vics), so if cop cruisers and confiscated drug trafficking cars aren't your thing, there are probably other options out there for you, like public auctions.

Real property - Primarily, this consists of developed land with buildings, usually acquired by the federal government for a specific purpose, such as a military base or office building.

US government car auctions offer cars at great prices. The most imperative thing, which you should be aware of, is the timings of these local vehicle auctions. Apart from that, the other two things, which should be on your checklist, include: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN #) of the vehicle for running through the CAFEX website to acquire its past history and the warranty periods associated with it. Again, you should remember that these cars are to be brought at the least possible price. So, you should avoid bidding high even if the pair of wheels is too attractive to miss out.
Local police auctions. If you are interested in local police impound car auctions the best way to find information is to call your local police department. They can provide with the dates and details. Under no circumstances should you call 911 for this information. Look in the local blue pages for the non-emergency number. They are also required to run ads in the local newspaper about 90 days prior to the auction. These are often low key ads in the classified section, so finding them may require some searching. Some police departments put auction information online, so you can also search the Internet
Going, going, gone! Live auctions are always exciting and entertaining whether you're the bidder or not, and government auctions are no exception. Make sure you don't miss your cue to bid. If you're not clear on how bidding progresses, ask one of the auction company officials. Some items will have an undisclosed set minimum bid (reserve), while most items will be offered without reserve. Most auctions will also accept in-absence, written bids if the bidder follows special procedures and the bid is received more than a day before the auction.
Here's another fantastic deal on a boat auction. This vessel will be going up for live bid in the coming weeks. The auction is for a 1997 Rabco marine vessel. This 21 foot boat sport a 6 cylinder, 200 HP Yamaha outboard motor (model 200 ETXF), and it has a 3 propeller blade. The beam of the vessel measures 10' 7" and the draft is 2' 6". Hull ID# JND21I001G697. This item goes up for auction in Fort Lauderdale so if you'd like to learn more about it or other similar auctions then simply register with us now to get full membership access.
But that doesn't mean there still aren't good deals to be had at local auctions, because as intimidating as it may sound, there's a reason dedicated bidders still show up to these things every week. You just have to remain skeptical and attentive if you want to take home the right ride, because you never know what might show up, and by using these 10 tips, you might land a gem.
U.S. Marshal's Service Auctions : And finally, the U.S. Marshal's service auctions off some true bling as part of its mission to "combat major criminal activity by disrupting and dismantling illegal enterprises" and "depriving criminals of the proceeds of illegal activity." Once again, there is real estate, but also businesses, cash cars, collectibles — and more.
Several years later, liquidators and wholesale merchants reached out to us interested in utilizing our online auction services and platform as a way to liquidate their goods. As one of our goals is to provide great deals to our shoppers we started allowing a few, hand-selected and Trusted ShopKeepers to sell on our site. Now we have even more quality goods from store close-outs or overstock products up for auction.


text: Details Last Updated: Saturday, 04 April 2015 08:47 Thursday, May 30, 2013 : Acadia National Park From Bangor to Acadia National Park, a nice crossing of Maine. The Atlantic Coast landscape is gorgeous. Beautiful scenery all day long. Acadia National Park, at least a dozen photo stops, a lot of walk and a nice stroll in Bar Harbor at the end of the day. All day long, gorgeous weather makes the early morning fog on the sea look distant. Good thing, considering the beautiful landscapes. Same mark as yesterday for the Country Inn at the Mall, still as friendly, and its breakfast still as plentiful. An excellent mark for an excellent day. Nothing to add, nothing to take off. The Corvette concentration in Bar Harbor, both spectacular and unexpected.

Outside Inn/
Outside Inn is an exploration of the accepted norms of suburbia and the sub-verse subculture of graffiti. Artists Kosie and Sauce struggle to find the perfect environment to practice their art due to the battle lines drawn by several local councils. The current political climate demands grey walls replace commissioned murals. As a result, these two artists have been forced to fit the mould of the gallery and display their works to the select few. Outside Inn is a depiction of suburbia, it could be any neighborhood around working class Brisbane. The straight fence, perfectly painted doors and neat lawns are all representations of the Australian dream. What the politicians didn't account for was the expression of art which breaks trends and barriers.
A big thanks to Lee Hutton photography.

Month of Sep 2019: Summer is over, Aquarius. It's time to get back into your routine of getting plenty of sleep, jogging, drinking water, and maybe eating a vegetable. This may sound boring, but Mars in Virgo just wants you to be healthy. It will take a few weeks to get back into the swing of things, but when Jupiter forms a quincunx with the north node of the moon, you'll be feeling much better physically and mentally.
Pay close attention to your emotions this month, especially on September 14 when the full moon is in sensitive Pisces. Focus on how certain activities affect your mood. Does going for a bike ride every day make you more cheerful? Are you dreading going to your aerobics class? Use this a guiding point as you make lifestyle changes to increase your happiness. Follow your bliss!
Your good mood will continue on the twenty-third when the sun enters fellow air sign Libra, giving you plenty of #goodvibes. Loosen up those tense muscles by doing some hot yoga or stretches.

Dead Space 3 Review
The tales of Isaac Clarke continue with Visceral's latest instalment of the Dead Space Franchise, delving deeper into the Necromorph disaster with no immediate hope in sight. Unitology has now progressed from sporadic, crazy cult status, to a fully operational private military power, overthrowing Governments who disagree with their views and instilling fear into the general populace.
The plot for Dead Space 3 is a lot more engrossing than the previous two games, due to the imminent doom of the human race thanks to the Unitologists and their love for all things Necromorph. There is a sense of urgency in your actions and in true Hollywood style, Isaac Clarke is humanity's only hope. You're approached in your apartment by Captain Robert Norton and Sergeant John Carver of Earthgov. Norton has received a distress call and requires the talents of Clarke, however as Earthgov has been overthrown, escaping the Unitologist troops is not as easy as you may think.
You would be forgiven in thinking that Dead Space 3 had moved away from its shock factor scares, which bolstered the original game into a frenzy with the fans. While I stated back in my Dead Space 2 review that Dead Space 1 wasn't scary, there were definite moments where the game shocked or startled you but I never felt truly scared. This instalment feels more of a generic third person shooter in the opening hour or so of gameplay due to other people shooting back at you while you take cover before returning fire.
This new addition to the roster of enemies can make things a little interesting, with fully armed opponents utilising their machine guns, grenades and sniper rifles, you no longer just rely upon the trusted method of stasis and dismember. Ducking behind cover will become an essential mainstay of your combat which is, thankfully, not 'Gears of War' sticky wall central. You'll also at times be thankful for the armed forces as you'll encounter these taking on the Necromorphs, making your job a bit easier as you stay behind cover until there's only a couple of enemies left before showing your face and taking the stragglers out.
Thankfully fans of the original titles can rest easy as it's not all run and gun in this game, you still have to explore the levels in order to find scrap metals and other objects in order to create med packs, ammunition and weapon upgrades. This exploration of the levels can come in the form of your own curiosity or via side missions, a new addition to the game, which explore sections of the levels you would not necessarily venture to; with the reward of either weapon frames, extra upgrades or just extra knowledge about the whole Necromorph scenario on Tau Volantis, the mysterious frozen planet where most of this game takes place.
The collection of resources is one of the major changes to the franchise as gone are the power nodes for simple upgrades and in come the metals and gels. These items are then used in the bench and suit shop in order to create upgrades to your hit points, armor values, new parts and weapon enhancements (such as increased fire rates), cooperative play enabled add-ons and more. The cooperative add-ons are items that attach to your weapons and affect both players, such as using a stasis pack to replenish your stasis tank, which will replenish the tanks on both you and your co-op partner.
Along with resources you will also encounter weapon frames, these will change the characteristics of an existing weapon or become the base of a customised gun of your own choosing. For example, if you were to take a military engine and attach it to a heavy frame, you essentially create an assault rifle which fires traditional cartridge-based ammunition and requires both hands to wield. If you were to take the same engine yet attach it to a light frame, the same gun becomes a one handed submachine gun with less room for upgrades and attachments.
The majority of these frames can accommodate two separate engines,which allow you to create weapons with a primary and secondary fire, for example, the plasma cutter with a flamethrower or line gun with a grenade launcher. The only real limitations is your own personal taste in guns and how you want to attach them together.
Tau Volantis, as I previously mentioned, is the planet where you'll be heading to in order to discover how, over 200 years ago, the population were able to halt a Necromorph uprising in its tracks and how they were able to keep them from rising again until very recently. Through your travels of this frozen planet you'll encounter Necromorphs the likes you could have never imagined, along with crazed members of the humanoid population rushing at you with guns and assorted melee weapons.
This mix up of enemy types means Isaac is no longer a slowpoke in a clumpy suit of armour, in Dead Space 3 you feel a lot more agile, with the ability to roll and duck behind some cover so you can avoid the onslaught of weapons fire or Necromorph anti-Isaac stabby tentacles. It feels a lot more action oriented, which I feel keeps the game fresher for longer.
Now, before you set foot on this ball of ice you'll be in orbit of the planet, discovering what happened to the seemingly derelict space ships. Here you'll come across Ellie Langford, one of the survivors of The Sprawl where Dead Space 2 was set. In the time between Dead Space 2 and 3 it seems Isaac and Ellie became an item, but it was clearly not meant to be as the tension between the two characters is apparent on their initial reunion. Ellie was on the hunt for what is possibly a machine that can control and stop all the markers around the universe. This search led her team towards Tau Volantis but the team ran into trouble and set off the distress call which Norton received.
The other major change to Dead Space 3 is the introduction of cooperative play, however this was a personal let down as the cooperative play is online only. Sorry split-screen fans, this game is not for you. In co-op, player two will take control of John Carver, the hardened gruff stereotypical soldier with a dark past that you're introduced at the beginning of the singleplayer campaign. Both Carver and Isaac must encounter the foes of Tau Volantis together in order to survive yet it's never as simple as sticking together.
The co-op sections of the game will also breathe additional insight and dialogue between Clarke and Carver that would not have been experienced by players completing the SP campaign. You'll also notice that the cooperative campaign will purposely split the two players apart with no indication of where they may be in relation to each other, giving each side a unique view of the overall story that the other party would not experience alone. By doing this the developers at Visceral hope to instil the fear of the original games with the sections where nothing happens before the obligatory "scare" is thrust into the faces of the players.
Those more fond of the original game will be glad to know that there are several modes in the titles New Game+ mode which hark back to how resource scarce and atmospheric the original title was. Allowing players to select different New Game+ modes will enable those who decide to purchase the game to get a lot more for their money out of the title. Having only two saves to go through the entire game on a harder, more challenging experience will certainly test the skills of gamers everywhere.
In conclusion, Dead Space 3 has braved a new path for the franchise which fans of the original may disagree with. While a lot of the changes are in the realms of the unknown to fans of the series, in the context of this new title, all the changes that have been introduced in the game certainly work exceptionally well. The cooperative gameplay is a fresh and fun new addition, while the changes to the bench and its associated resource gathering forces you to think about your own personal upgrades or weapon modifications as items are no longer a single unit of currency to change.
There's certainly a lot going for Dead Space 3 and there's no mistaking that you'll get a lot enjoyment from this instalment of the game.
Dead Space 3 (Reviewed on Xbox 360)
This game is great, with minimal or no negatives.
There's certainly a lot going for Dead Space 3 and there's no mistaking that you'll get a lot enjoyment from this instalment of the game.

So, when November 1st arrives I always feel relieved. I think it started when I had to go back to school in Grade School. September was okay because I got to see all the friends I missed during the summer that lived too far away for me to see during the summer vacation. But, by October the grind of school took a toll on me emotionally where I wanted more space from the regime. I loved to learn but hated the grind of school and having to get up early every morning ongoing. So, October was always the hardest month of the year.
I realized yesterday that when I was young because I was clairvoyant then too but untrained when my 5 years older cousin took me to horror movies I couldn't handle it and often couldn't sleep for 1 to 2 months after some horror movies but I wanted to be "grown up". This didn't work for me either because I guess I tuned into the craziness of people in the theater watching horror too much. So, to this day I still refuse to watch most horror movies simply because I find them as a clairvoyant just too disturbing.
However, in my early teens and 20s I found Vampire movies the most educational because they are a bastardization of many supernatural truths. (Not the blood sucking part) but one learns how to steer away from people who "Suck Ectoplasm" from you.
For example, have you noticed you feel drained of energy around some people? Well, often they are sucking your energy and you need to find a way to either get away from them or to put up a force field to protect yourselves from them. Some people are just so bad that staying around them is fatal completely. But, it's not from them sucking your blood, it's from them sucking your energy that you need to live and to prosper and to actually stay alive.
Learning about different types of people and what they do allows you to survive in this world and not be depleted to the point where you are sick and die in your teens or 20s.
Sometimes people fall in love with Energy Vampires like this and don't understand and die young. This especially happens to women traditionally down through the ages when they marry the wrong man and his effect on her is fatal energy wise.
For example, he may or may not be a bad person being an energy vampire like this. He might just not be suited to be married to ANYONE.
Only Men who know how to "Circle Energy" with their wives and children should actually be married. So, love flows in a circle just like the wedding ring on your finger. If it just goes one direction people often die.
So, if you are going to be married learn to circle the energy like the wedding ring does. Otherwise, people often die young (one of the married couple or the children).
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
