I slept in a hammock instead of a bed in my old apartment.  It was nice because it took up so much less space and it's also really good for your back (you're not putting weight or strain on any part of your body).  I have to agree that it's ideal for summer and not winter as much, although you...

The original owner of the van outfitted it for doing sewer maintenance work in Florida...they were running AC, some heavy machinery, lights and a bunch of computer stuff off it.  I have to get it serviced and then I might sell it.  There's a chunk cut out of the floor where it's installed with...

I bought a Chevy Express with a hi-top, and it came with a Honda EV6010 liquid-cooled RV generator already in it.  This thing needs some servicing...it's got an oil leak apparently and needs a battery and other stuff.  I am going to install solar panels so it would be a backup power source.  I'm...

Sonny, you can't please everyone. Somebody always ends up bitching.

I put a deposit on it, but haven't bought it yet.  I happen to have the Carfax (the dealer gave it to me) and there's no evidence of odometer rollbacks. I took it to my mechanic today, but he wasn't able to put it up on a lift because of the height.  With that said, everything seems to be in...

re: frater secessus...I did a KBB eval with my zipcode and got around $7k as a dealer quote. Add in the 4X4 and the hi top and I'd consider $8k or $9k as a good price (but it's so rare to find a 4x4 Chevy van that I'd probably just suck it up and pay full price if they don't come down...if it...

They're asking 10k even. With the 4wd and the hi top, it seems fair-ish to me (buying from a dealer)

Howdy there, I could use some feedback on this van.  I've been looking for a few months now and I think this might be it - it's just about ideal. It's a 2004 Chevy Express 3500 Extended (20ft long) with a fiberglass hi-top installed and 4wd.  6.0L V8 engine.  It's spacious enough for me to...

Hi all, I found this van close by.  http://www.edmunds.com/ram/promaster-cargo-van/2014/used/vin/?vin=3C6TRVCG1EE129508 The miles are super low and it drives great.  It has FWD which is supposed to be really good in snow.  It's also wide enough so I could put my bed sideways, even with...

Congratulations!!  Wow that must have been hard, good for you for getting rid of your stuff!

Hi Cheli - glad to hear someone else is grappling with the same issue!  Just curious, where do you think you'll store your van when you're away?  If I had a friend with a big empty garage it would make this decision a lot easier :)

So, I've been planning to do the van thing for a while now.  Saved up some money, found a place I'll be able to work on it as well as a friend to help me, and recently put a (refundable) deposit on a van that I like. However, I also want to travel outside the US for an extended period of time...

Thanks for the advice!  Can I ask what kind of Dodge van you have?  And how is it working for you?

I have, I would love to get one but they came out so recently it's impossible to find out that I can afford.  I really like the high roof versions because they have so much clearance.  I suppose I could try to finance one but anything like that makes me nervous, I'd rather be able to own it free...

I'm trying to decide on a van for my build.  I know I definitely need a high-top (my back is messed up and I won't last long crouched over all the time) and I'm planning to live in it full time for the foreseeable future.  I would love a high roof Ford Transit but they came out so recently I...

I might have a slight chance at going to Phoenix.  What would be the benefit of finding a van there, rather than Colorado?

I live in New York and I've been looking at used vans around here, but the prices in NY/NJ tend to be steep compared to other parts of the country, plus the fact that we have a lot of ice and salt on the roads in the winter which takes its toll on any used vehicle. I've heard the best place to...

Hi, my name is Alex and I'm going to start a van conversion project in the next month or two. I'm 26 and I decided on this lifestyle because I don't want to have to spend my life working just to be able to have my own place.  I also want to be able to relocate easily whenever and wherever I...
