<div><br></div><div>While the basic idea of this is solid, I can't agree with it. Taj had a noticeable funk when I bought her. Going price for similar rigs (at the same mileage) in our area was $12k at the time. The "funk" was due to the previous owner's dog. I paid $4988 for the rig, and after...

I wouldn't go as far back as 93. There were too many significant changes to the Dodge vans in 94. They don't even look close. So maybe run it as a 94 instead.&nbsp;

They are decent rigs. The ones I have seen do ride a little higher than Taj or our other Dodge van, probably some kind of spring add-on in the back to support the additional weight of the camper. Taj has strong suspension, but RT's are a bit lower than other class B's from what I have...

A few years back I ran a Trojan brand group 24 AGM that was rated at 75 AH and I believe was just over $200.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>The two group 31 AGM's I have now are from "Full River" and work pretty well, no issues in the last couple years I have had them and they are well used every day...

<div>I can definitely understand that, times are tight for sure! That's a decent size pure sine inverter as a start anyway. You can always add a large modified sine later and have a pretty wide capability overall if you decide you need it.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Hey, give a review of it...

You know I got mine on Craigslist and tested it thoroughly before taking it home. If you can handle doing that, I do see deals on there often enough. I paid $350 for a quite expensive 2500 watt pure sine with charger etc. &nbsp;Thing is, had I not found that one, I probably would have gone with...

That is funny stuff! Sounds a lot like stuff Daughter Jay would say to Heidi.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Of course the bucket and baby wipes are not the only way to vandwell <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> You can do it with a built-in shower and toilet...

Hide in plain sight.<div><br></div><div>The ideas above all sound good and are would probably accomplish what you are after well. Likely if they failed in any way though, you would get the opposite of what you wanted, hidden stuff draws more attention a lot of the time. Especially in todays...

When we were traveling around the country on a sort of schedule(basically trying to get done with the cold states before winter), we spent way more than $300 a month on fuel. When we travel as we like which is a much slower pace, learning about an area, exploring it on bicycle etc, we can do the...

IMO, Maintain the clearest views possible every time it is up to you. About the time you go against that and even slightly block vision in one window is when you will have a child on a bike or guy on a motorcycle hidden by that obstruction. Murphy is always at play...It just isn't worth...

Hope so too, would be great to see ya again!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Probably will go with the shoulder punch and a beer for the marine <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"></div>

There are at least a few of the larger dairy's around that use methane to supply their electrical power. They have some creative ways to collect the manure while the gal cows are giving their milk then it goes through the digestion area and produces the methane which runs a large generator. They...

<div><br></div><div>I built a few of those big burnoff "flares" about 23 years back. Was cool to see my flaming creations on my way to Seattle in the mornings <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> &nbsp;</div>

Hey Bob, Yeah, I have been a bad blogger lately, &nbsp;I need to get back too it regularly again. It is one of those things where if you put it off a little too long, it is easy to keep putting off... Kinda like my poor guitar. I will post an update blog by tomorrow and try to get back to a more...

Actually, if you have a good inverter and a decent sized battery bank, it works just fine. Ours is a toaster/convection oven too, made by Black &amp; Decker and rated at 1850 watts. While it is in a high cooking cycle, it is pulling 106 amps (observed real time). Since it rarely runs for more...
