Compared to many sleep surfaces memory foam is one of the best and affordable. Here is a report from Sleep like the Dead comparing memory foam and latex. http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/memory-foam-v-latex.html Near the end of this article it says that with those that have tried both they...

I use to be just like some of you with the arachnophobia. If I found a spider I could not kill I'd call for the wife and she would catch it and put it outside. I had to quit working around a year ago for health reasons. Used to being very active I get bored easy so always looking for...

Beautiful Appalachian mountains. All my people are from the North Carolina mountains close to Boone. Very strange how the area has changed. A lot of very rich people have built mansions with views on the mountain tops. It's still nice and maybe for the better as there are more resources...

I also have the towing with State Farm. It's less than 3 bucks for 6 months I think. Have used it many times. I was towed home from around 60 miles one time and they paid it. You have to pay the tow company yourself and give State Farm the invoice and they mail a check. I figured the first...

I recently returned home from a trip where I rendezvous with a group in the Mount Rodgers Recreation area in the Virginia Appalachians. it's ridiculous how many of us forgot our coffee pots. One of my friends brought his one cup backpacking espresso maker like this . . ...

highdesertranger, I just watched a lot of videos about the 3M VHB tape. That is some very good tape. It has high strength and can even be used instead of rivets. It's being used in so many applications . . . like holding the outside panels on cargo trailers. Great find hope its not too...

Luisafernandes I thought polysio did not need air gap and could be placed directly on roof. My main concern is stopping condensation drips in the winter from propane heat. maybe I could make spacers and small air gap. freenez2 not sure what will attach with. I looked at double sided tape and...

I have GAF polysio this. . . http://www.homedepot.com/p/GAF-0-75-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-EnergyGuard-PolyIsocyanurate-Sheathing-1S02/204322724 It has a bilaminate (aluminum and kraft) faces bonded to a core of polyiso foam. Should the aluminum side be against the van roof? Thanks A SEEKER

Maybe. . . just add the 49cc sticker and some pedals

Hi sassypickins, I to have read about the foam causing rust. I think it usually was with Great Stuff foam that is open cell foam and not water vapor proof. I am no insulation expert for sure but my understanding is warm moist air has to reach a cooler surface for condensation to occur. I...

I have a Walmart Spa Sensations that I am putting in my van. For the money it is a good mattress. I have the 8 inch one. It is memory foam on the top layers. If you look through the Walmart reviews some say it is too firm. Don't know where they get that from mine is very soft. Although it...

Van-Tramp you are right about the county and city thing. There were problems in Florida where some cities were making their own laws banning concealed carry to permit holders. Luckily the state legislatures made a new law and counties and cities in Florida can no longer enforce and have to...

I agree as I just did my floor with 3/4 plywood because I already had it and was thinking about how much extra weight it was. Do not know what I will use for the rest of the build yet. I will probably use slats for top of bed as I am sure it will be lighter than plywood. . . maybe I better...

I tried to order a Remington 22 pellet rifle online several years ago. Even though I live outside city limits I have A Saint Augustine address and the company could not ship to me because the city prohibits shipped air guns to residences. Guess they don't want their historic windows shot out...

I can not find any drainage holes along the walls in the cargo area. I think I will only insulate the roof now for this winter and see how that goes. Making the decision this weekend if I will spend needed money on Foam it Green . . . this...

+++1 What Patrick said. But after reset nothing wrong with going back. I also appreciate all the info you have gave everyone including me. I am sure you have saved lots of hair pulling and countless extended battery lives and our pocket books. I also enjoy all your post and you do not always...

Hey all, I took the rubber mat and whatever kind of insulation was under it out. The insulation was slightly damp but my floors were in pretty good shape. It had holes from some previous installed stuff so I patched them with some fiberglass stuff called kitty hair. Then painted the whole...

I changed my 86 Safari van over to R134a. The main problem is the oil is different. I think 134a takes ester but can't remember. The parts store can tell you for your model. The time to convert is usually when changing compressor but you could just pour out all the old incompatible oil from...

Grounded the van by taking a green colored copper house wire. A self tapping screw "drilled" in an existing hole under the van behind gas tank for one end, the other stripped end touching the ground dragging along as the van travels. What . . . is this for? A SEEKER
