Check out the durango area. I have pretty sensitive sinuses and had great luck there and the area just feels safer. Just my 2 cents. YMMV

I hadn't considered this. Do most of the rigs have air brakes? I have my class b from driving a bus but it had hydralics and I've never gotten the airbrake endorsement.

It's inconvenient but in places where vanlife is common almost any late model van with accessories on the outside get's pegged as a vanlife van. I think the best method is to follow bob's tutorial on stealth camping. you may get some knocks but be respectful and move when asked and you'll...

Only slightly off topic. For those who want to be campground hosts do the national parks have issues with pets?

I've given some thought to this problem. I have an old G20 that was given to me. When the motor blows I'm going to give some serious thought to converting it to electric. Either get used tesla motors or an electric forklift motor and tie it into the current drive train. Simple ESC on the...

As you can imagine I'm a little overwhelmed.  I've been talking about buying a promaster and building it out but I didn't have the money.   A friend had been storing this and asked the owner if I could have it.  Mechanically it seems ok and I'll be going through all of that first... perhaps...
