    BUGS AND CRITTERS IN YOUR RIG?

    Mice are a constant complaint in the Skoolie forums. I think we may park in one place longer than some of the #vanlife folks. You will sometimes see folks leave their hood open while camping. This is in some part to discourage mice and pack rats. Steel wool is common in plumbing and for RV's...

    Anyone in NC willing to help me install battery system?

    Awesome! I've a mostly level pad large enough for a van if you need. The drive way has a bit of a slope to it. Give a little notice and Cory350 might make it over as well.

    I won't be able to afford my house in 2 years!

    Well, I won't be able to afford my house by my next payment without dipping in to savings. I'm franticly building my rig and trying to sell the house. Selling everything has been an adventure in how stupid and greedy people can really be! I have learned some interesting insults in Yoruba though!

    The As Of Yet Unnamed bus

    Nice thing about rain is it helps fins the leaks. :) Better now when everything is ripped out. Most of the sealing I did the other day is holding! Just a few little drips to shore up. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    What is this thing?

    124-105111 is listed on the sticker so I'm gonna go on the assumption that it is the correct part number. Based on what you see in the spec sheet do you think this will work to charge my batteries while driving? Will it prevent the starters (yes, there is an S on the end of that word. 2x850 CCA...

    Anyone in NC willing to help me install battery system?

    Maybe the blind leading the stupid! :) Cory350 and I did get together and in some ways he's way ahead of me. He has much more of his interior done, we both have fans installed. I've got my panels mounted but am still collecting other bits and pieces. I *HOPE* to be making some regional trips...
