I've heard those called BMWs...

Not a box truck, but another relevant component to anyone looking here is passengers. 16+ passengers also requires a CDL, but if you remove the seats than you no longer need that.

Thanks for sharing these! I find it hard to believe they are only 10# (or less!). They have a wood stove, too. I wonder if they are related to the old RV company.

Why is it so high in Farmington? I've been filling up for under $1.90 in Santa Fe and under $1.50 on Pueblos.

I just carried out your requirements earlier this month, in the SW US. I had a sub-3k budget, and wanted something full size. I found little. Vans approaching 300k, non running vans, etc. I got a small loan to bump me over 3k and it changed the game. If I was in a position to get a bigger loan I...

I put mine in a cooler on hot days. Fire risk aside, the thing venting will result in everything you own smelling like farts forever. I'd rather it just be me...

I am only one inch more than you, and have found that I need around 72" (with pillow) for myself. Maybe I point my toes down too much. Everyone is different. Try sleeping on a bed and giving yourself different amounts of space.

If you are where I think you are, my home base isn't too far away either. I come and go, but would be interested to help if possible. Depending on exactly where you are 60 miles south of ABQ, it will likely be incredibly hot in the summertime. I forded the Rio Grande on foot around Dec 1 near...

You might consider visiting one of those places that sells sheds and delivers them. The shed is built and later loaded onto a trailer. Not exactly the same, but it might give you some ideas for how to load your future house. I don't know that you could get building ideas from the sheds, they...

Maybe I am nitpicking, but this isn't true. This link, among others, describes why. Basically, our body loses heat based upon surface area, so a head wouldn't lose significantly different amount than a thigh. Our heads DO have more sensitivity, so they FEEL that cold more than other body parts...

Looks like the standard issue, semi floating probably Dana 60 or some Sterling rear to me. The 350s could have a full floater. Perhaps you are thinking about the 1/2 ton 150? The last few years of them were different, but mostly they had five lugs.

You don't want a running engine in the passenger compartment, especially one that has its fuel tank on it. You would want an external mount or sealed compartment ventilated externally. It isn't just manifold gasses to worry about. If it's the noise you are worried about, why not build a box for...

I'm not saying you won't get any takers (or givers?), but renting a basic cargo van is something like $50/day. I recently rented a shoebox car for $17/day. How would you handle insurance? If you have the coin, lay it out. Sometimes I see vans from foreign tourists for sale, outfitted and all...

Maybe I need to get out more. Funny picture combo :) did the UFC fighter knock that part off???

I used a compact pickup with a tall camper shell for several years. I couldn't stealth camp in it because I had to remove some items to stay in the back but it worked for me. I was recently thinking about a van or something with more space for some comfort items and that stealth option. I...
