    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    accrete, It's not just the humidity it's the heat lol. With all the windows closed and sitting in the sun it will stay well over 100F and then cold in the fall/winter depending on where I'm at. Not sure if I should tune it down a little after playing or keep the tension on the neck. I wouldn't...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    Accrete, I was just looking at these amps, mini amps that run on 9v batteries. I don't really like using batteries for pedals or an amp so I'm going to build my own power supply for my 3 pedals and the 9v amp if I get one. I can get 4 7809 regulators and some caps for less than 10 bucks, throw...

    Electrical Simulator - RV Wiring

    Not sure it this has been posted here but I just ran across it. Very good simulator of the electrical system for an RV. Includes starting battery, house battery, generator, and shore power. You can toggle them on and off separately. Answers many of the questions I have. Been playing with it...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    I just don't want to get one with the Dreaded Death Wobble From what I can find out it might start at any mileage on certain Dodge chassis and it is hard/expensive to get rid of. I'd hate for this to happen in the mountains. Anyone know of this happening on any Roadtreks? Here's another video...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    fablefox, Class B sure would be nice but the prices are insane for a 15+ yr old vehicle. I do plan on long-term, minimum 1 year even after finding work. With the prices of housing and/or renting the goal is to save money. jeanontheroad, Good points, I've been trying to imagine how I would...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    DCosmc The more I think about it you may be right about doing the build on the road. A saw, screws, and cordless drill. Home Depot will cut plywood to size. I could put something together to get by and then upgrade from there. Just start with a passenger van, get rid of the seats and put some...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    Off Grid 24/7, I thought about buying a cargo van and doing some kind of conversion myself, the time for that has run out. I should have started months ago and I need to get out of here by the end of the month. Throwing a mattress and a cooler in the back and trying to do the build on the road...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    Patrick46, I haven't even looked at the prices of a class C. I will do that later this evening just to see what's out there. Let's say I do find a permanent job somewhere, with a class C I need to stay at a CG and pay the fees. Even if I don't find a permanent job I need to do the same. My...

    Camper Van or Real Class B?

    Hello all, my first post. I've been reading the forums for months and there is some great info here! My decision that I need to make(within days) is: Option #1: There is a camper van available 1999 Chevy Coachman with 90K miles for $7K. I drove it and it seems to run great, steering is tight...
