Hi! I love those buses, not too big and lots of light. Having solar system is such a bonus. Seems like they did all the tough not so glamorous work and you have a good canvas to create your own desires. Having it mechanically sound is important and it seems you’ve already worked out the...

Yes, the Alcan. I’ve driven it but not for “fun” and just with my dog, my jeep and a tent. That was a long time ago…like 30 years and I imagine it’s changed and hopefully improved. I also drive it in late October and ran into snow storms. I did have some amazing experiences and would love to...

Finally making progress. Need to post updates and pictures to document and reference. I’m really grateful for the support I get from other builders.

I’m spending a week at my folks place out in the boonies and would of been a great time to work on the van as I have my Dads workshop and two garages and no neighbors to worry about. But alas, I didn’t trust driving my van the 80 miles one way up here. After the tie rod was replaced, we did a...

Looks awesome! It’s hard to wait for the components… esp when you’re in the zone! I really like the white and wood trim.

The dang thing won’t let me laugh at you… so here it is. 😂

Well, I don’t really have a choice at the moment… it would take me five days to move to warmer climates… haha. Sometimes I really hate the cold and dark. But it’s when one can see the Aurora Borealis, or the hare, fox, ptarmigan in their winter whites. It’s easier to get to locations on...

Ummm… you need the power of a big in the space of a little? so, if it’s done right, you won’t need to work on it which means you won’t need the room. You say you need the size of a 4 so you can fix it while you burn it too hot … but if you get a solid 6, it won’t get run down and you won’t...

Wow… it’s been a bit since my last post. Not like that much had happened. But I’ll do an update for my own record. I’ve ordered lots of things for the van, Amazon likes to shop things one item at a time so my mailman (whom I went to grade school -high school with… have I mentioned Alaska is a...

The post is over a year old.

Yes, I’ve been looking into them. My dad had wired? Piped? one of our cabins totally in propane. We had lights in ever room, even nice “scones”, it was really “fancy”. There was a huge propane tank out back and as we could only access the cabin from landing on the beach or shoring a boat, I’m...

Man … you all must take really long showers. Lol. isn’t it just a jump in, one two three twirls around and jump out. Like a chubby checkers song? No time for romantic wind swept outdoor garden showers with lily scented soap petals and nourishing hair mask?

Productive day … except that when I was backing into my spot at home my water pump on my jeep blew … and so now that’s a thing..l ugh but before that, dude almost ran over my dog… but before that … it was a productive day. And that’s what I’ll focus on until I get a hankering for some good brew...

Welcome! It’s not required to lay your entire life and history out to “prove” you qualify for whatever you decide to do with your life. I’ve had “yikes” moments to responses here as well, I think there are some that are old timers and a bit protective and offended with all the new interest in...
