That looks like my old 'Love Bug' I had back in the 70's on the right behind the pickup in Sparky's picture.  Mine had the curved fiberglass door too.  the door leaked wind like a sieve.  But we loved it.  It finally sat in the backyard and I used it for storage in Merritt...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my wife when she was 56. It's too young. But she's in a better place. Rejoice and you will see her again.

Welcome Jules

It's just a thought. I saved a bunch of the foam from where I work thinking it might be usable to insulate a cabin I had use of when I first started working in Tallahassee. I have used it to form fiberglass cloth over. I would build the form first. I then used Vaseline as a release agent...

Welcome to you. Glad to have ya aboard.

I have a fair amount of used foam board. The kind used for meeting display boards. It looks like closed cell foam. It's also backed on both sides with paper. You can find it at any crafts store. My question is how successful would it be to use for insulation. As its 1/4" thick I thought...

I've been looking for a. Transvan for about a year. At one of the places I used to work one of the bosses had a dodge transvan. He drove the crap out of it. Hard to find here in Florida and the next states.

Welcome. I guess it depends on what state you're in. Here in Florida I asked about registering a bus and they said bring it in and it gets inspected and registered as a mh. I have my eye out for a small van based transit bus. Just haven't connected yet. Although I reserve the right to change...

Good to hear you're over this. Take the time to recoup and heal. Great report.

Does the term "wedgies" refer to your rear end condition after riding a few miles? <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Well just looking at the pics I can tell right away that the ground wire, the little black wire going to the post with the green pad, is way too small. It looks to be 14 gauge maybe and it needs to be at least as thick as the positive side. The cartoon above where ohms is squeezing down the...

Well I disagree on the eggs and milk.&nbsp; Eggs in the frig are good way past that time.&nbsp; Just check them if it's over a month in a cup of water.&nbsp; If they float, then they're decomposing producing gas which makes them float.&nbsp; Throw away.<br><br>Skim milk is more stable than whole...

Ok looking at the pages you posted. The auxiliary battery is charged either from the RV charging system while being driven (that's the number 1 on the first page description) and secondly by the 110volt service at an RV park hookup. You can also run an a suitable extension cord from your home...

Far as I know.&nbsp; I've never had walmart install a battery, but I imagine they do.&nbsp; They do tire installation, oil changes etc.

If you read the comments/review section, at least one battery was sold that was over a year old.&nbsp; And you can't return it to Amazon you have to deal with Exide.&nbsp; And Exide just considers it an older battery, so no help there.&nbsp; I would steer clear of Amazon for this.&nbsp; Go to...

Welcome aboard. I'm an engineer too. Just not employed as one any more. This is a great bunch of folks.

If you google technomadia and go to Cherie and Chris's site you will find Cherie's latest chapter in their online ebook, "No Excuses, Go Nomadic".&nbsp; It's about safety on the road and boondocking.&nbsp; Very good for those that are or have been apprehensive about going it alone on the...

I have not had a Toyota Chinook. But one of the problems with the build is the over cab overhang. It's catalevered out over the cab and over time can sag. Have someone check that as well as for water damage from leaks. The roof needs to be maintained periodically, ie sealed. If that's been...

Also Florida is a homeschool friendly state. Plus most of it is warm. We homeschooled our last child, a daughter and she turned out great. Graduated college and married for 4 years now. We temporarily home schooled in a class A motor home I rented for two months in Key West to close out a...
