    My lease ends in February

    Thanks for everyone's input. I have seen a different van I like: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/4624928086.html . I test drove it and it seemed to run ok. 2 owner van. I'm having it checked out on Monday by a mechanic. I told him $3000 if nothing is wrong with it. It has rust spots on...

    My lease ends in February

    I'm going to see this van tomorrow morning: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/4658227709.html . Any tips on what I should pay attention to? I'll look for obvious things like body damage and rust. I've never driven one of these before so I'm not sure what I should expect as far as how it...

    My lease ends in February

    Good thinking...http://www.etrailer.com/Enclosed-Trailer-Parts/Ventline/VP-543SP.html is the vent I'm getting. Guess I'll just have to look at it when it arrives and figure out if it will work or not.

    My lease ends in February

    I think I could make that work John. Since I'm going to have a top air vent with a fan anyways, why not have a small rubber hose leading from the battery container along the wall up to the ceiling and have it output right next to the fan. I've got to route power to the fan anyways so I could do...

    My lease ends in February

    Valid point and one that I'm definitely worried about.

Is there a simple way to keep them inside the van without drilling...

    My lease ends in February

    Good point on the 4glte. Looks like I only get 3gbs of tethered connectivity under my plan and have to pay more money for more gigs. Looks like you can do it illegally if you root your phone but I don't want to go that far yet. I'll download a program on my home computer to see how many gigs I...

    My lease ends in February

    I couldn't survive on 3 gigs. I use 5-8gigs just on my phone. Probably another 30 gigs at home on my charter cable Internet plan. I just tested my up and down speeds for 4glte and it's around 36down 32up. Hopefully good enough for some late night gaming.

    My lease ends in February

    I'll be going full time after my lease expires in February. I'm selling my car to buy a 15 passenger van to convert into my tiny apartment while I finish college at UTA for accounting. This is out of necessity but I've fallen in love with the idea of not paying someone else's mortgage and...
