Slate.com Reports on Free Keene – Best Publicity Thus Far?

By David Weigel

KEENE, N.H.—My first interview with the city’s antigovernment activists is happening in an RV that, technically at least, is breaking the law. The RV houses the “Liberty on Tour” project and often parks in Keene, and today, as it’s been for many days, it’s parked next to the home of Free Keene co-founder Ian Freeman. “The city doesn’t allow RVs to park like this,” says Freeman. “But they require a complaining party, and no one in the neighborhood is complaining. Now, theoretically, anyone from the city could complain. They know what’s going to happen if they do. We’re going to make a big deal about it. We’re going to go to jail.”

That’s not boasting. That’s what Free Keene does. This city is one of the epicenters of the Free State Project, the decade-old effort to build a libertarian beachhead of 20,000 like-minded souls in New Hampshire. So far, 909 people have fulfilled the pledge and moved to the state, and around 50—Freeman thinks—currently live in Keene. (These people are serious about privacy.)

That number undersells the impact this city and these activists have on their movement. Freeman’s FreeKeene.com is a catalog of arrests, protests, and inspiring interviews, most of them in Keene. This is where one activist, Pete Eyre, spent days in jail for wearing a hat in a public hearing, and another activist, Heika Courser, was arrested for displaying her breasts after an artist painted them. The magician/TV star/libertarian celebrity Penn Jillette has mused wistfully about moving to Keene, and it didn’t take long for his endorsement to get printed on Free Keene’s fliers, below one of the slogans:

“Is liberty dying where you live? Escape to Keene!”

It’d be asking a lot to get 909 libertarians to agree about something. Before I drove to Keene, I asked a few other Free Staters, closer to Manchester, what they thought of the little city out west.

“If you move to Manchester or Concord you’re probably interested in politics,” said Kirk McNeil, a Free Stater who moved from Michigan in 2009. “If you move to Keene you probably want to do some civil disobedience.”

It took a while for the political press to decide what to make of the Free Staters. In 2007, when they were even smaller in number, they started to be looked at as a source of strength for Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. In 2009, as the Tea Party movement got under way, reporters discovered that the FSP and its annual PorcFest (the porcupine is the mascot of the project) offered this stuff in its concentrated form. In 2011, people noticed that Free Staters had been elected to the New Hampshire legislature and were introducing bills to decriminalize marijuana and classify TSA groping as sexual assault. They soon received the ultimate honor—being attacked by progressive groups as a “radical right” and Koch-connected plot.

RV Repair Manual

An RV is the combination of a house and car so when it comes to maintenance, you have all the issues of both components. For the most part, the ills of one wont affect the other but there are some exceptions such as wiring and power that connect from the engine to the amenities of the living area. Otherwise, working on the engine is just like a car with the various makes and models that change over the years. Because of this, a general RV repair manual contains information about how to fix things and is not specific to a particular model or make of RV such as a 1975 Airstream or a 1981 Fleetwood. The repair manuals reference the engines used, the plumbing and heating components, and the appliances.

Books

The RV Repair & Maintenance Manual: Motorhomes, Trailers, Fifth-Wheels, Campers, etc. is an RV repair manual geared toward the do-it-yourselfer. The 400 page book, complete with photos and illustrations, covers topics such as:

The RV repair manual, The Complete Trailer Handbook, explains the basics of an RV, providing the foundation of necessary knowledge required to work on your own vehicle. It refers to how trailers are designed and how they work from the wheels to the wiring and has color photos to help guide you. Some of the information contained on these pages includes maintenance, accessories, building and rebuilding a trailer along with suspension and brake systems.

In RV Electrical Systems, the reader finds a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the troubleshooting, improvement, and repair of an RVs electrical components. The ten chapter manual starts by explaining, in the simplest of terms, electricity and the 12-volt DC system. The authors, Bill and Jan Moeller, go on to talk about the following components of the electrical system:

Additionally, the authors supply an index of where to find electrical RV parts and a list of other manuals they recommend reading.
