I have a Yamaha Vino 125 that I am going to be pulling in a raised mesh side trailer behind my van. It's gonna hurt already low mpg but due to how I am going to live/travel, it'll help offset the van's low mpg when I'm stopped for extended periods.<br><br>Depending on what you weight, you might...

If you think that's different, check this out. A 5th wheel trailer and hitch system for a compact car:<br><br>

I assume you mean 225/75-16.. not 225/17-16. That would be a strange tire otherwise!

I've had a 97 E150 4.6L V8 conversion van and I liked it very well. But it lacked a high top sadly, or else I might have kept it.

They probably do have legs of steel compared to a lot of Americans... who instead tend to have butts of lard.

I say don't settle for less than what you want out of life.

Local phone books, or through Google maps (which is kind of a map based phone book). Or even by simply keeping your eyes pealed when driving. They won't be right off interstate exits usually. They'll be at least a few miles away along nearby US or state highways.

Well.. $300 isn't bad... the climate there is much of the time though. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

My laptop calls for 18.5 / 6.5A ... 120W. The universal car chargers for 120W don't have 18.5v. They have 18 and 19, but not 18.5. The ones that do output 18.5v are only 65w. My laptop pulls almost twice that... so sadly, there is no such product made.<br><br>---EDIT---<br>OK ignore that, i did...

One thing I really like about my ol' Xplorer is that it's very misery in it's energy needs. The only two things you "have" to use on 12v electric are the lights, water pump and starter motor for the built in Onan genset. <br><br>It's a slight disadvantage that the water heater (original...

You know.... I'm betting the best source is you-pull salvage yards. I got a couple short heavy gauge battery cables (for linking house batteries together) for a couple dollars in excellent condition, I think solid copper wire. They run about $10-15 new for cables like that which might be...

In some ways, I wish I had kept the '99 4.6L V8 F150 I had and gotten a better travel trailer than I had. But since I wanted to take a scooter with me... the biggest I could load myself easily in the back of the truck was a small 50cc. I have a 125cc now which I like better... but weights a lot...

As much as I don't like tablets I may end up getting one since I do like to spend a lot of time online and the battery can last better than even a netbook. I have an Android phone for Virgin Mobile (unlimited data for $35/mo, add WIFI tethering for $15 more) but being on such a small screen, it...

<br><br>Failing that, Google maps works great for finding small RV parks as I think I mentioned before. It seems to me,the older ones are along US highways back from the days when people traveled them more than interstates (either from not existing yet, being under construction or being brand...

Yeah, I was thinking about adding fenders. They aren't too awfully expensive ($50/each) and would bolt right on to the trailer after drilling some holes.

I will use my fridge some simply because it's already there and is a 3 way. I will mostly use it on 120v electric though when at RV parks. When it's not in use, it can be used for dry food storage so long as I dry it out good first and wipe it down.

A class C might be ok with a rear carrer... a class B has a lot less storage inside. Plus B's has single rear wheels, C's have a dually axle. I considered a rear carrier but I have a rear spare tire carrier, can't really use a carrier for the scooter with that in the way. Plus I think it would...

<br><br>Small town dealerships and large city dealers seem better than one in medium sized cities it seems like. It seems to me that ones in small towns really work for their business and ones in large cities can afford to pay for better employees. Medium sized cities... they seem to be in a...

The nice thing about my Craftsman 120v one since I have a generator in the van is I can also use it for an impact wrench for lugnut removal. It's not the best applicatioon for such a small tank but in a pinch, it really speeds things up since I have 8 lug wheels. It has a 1HP motor so it refills...

Just $500? Heck.. I've spent about $5,000 on mine so far (and I'm still not done..) including 5 tires and I did most of the work myself! I really have too much in this van... I can never resell it for what I have in it. But since 78-83 Dodge motorhomes are so common, if something happens to this...
