Check Kelly Blue Book and NADA.com for pricing.  I can't remember which one, maybe kelly BlueBook, but they will give you a private sale price.  Don't expect to get the dealer retail, but don't post it out there for wholesale either unless it doesn't move quickly enough.  You can...

What he said.  Get the debt off your back.  You'll feel so much better.

I can understand the stress part.  I had a neighbor in Cape Canaveral, FL when I lived there in the late 70's who had been a policeman in New York in the bad old days back before Giuliani cleaned it up.  He never talked about it much other than to say he really got tired of it.&nbsp...

Welcome, we are a diverse group here.&nbsp; I'm sure your POV will be appreciated.<br><br>Don't be too grim, Jack.<img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif">&nbsp; It's bad for the digestion.

So you have to work ~100 hours a month at $8.25/hour for a campsite.&nbsp; That works out to $825 a month for the site.&nbsp; Not a bad deal for them. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif"><br><br>Must have a gym, swimming pool and spa on site.

Always, <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Always, </strong><span style="font-size: small;">never go into debt.&nbsp; I'm out of debt and have been for several years now.&nbsp; And I will never go into debt again for any reason.&nbsp; If I can't save and then buy whatever it is I want I...

My 80 pound hound&nbsp;is deathly afraid of water unless she chooses to run in it.&nbsp; So it takes two people to wash her.&nbsp; One to hold her and one to do the washing.&nbsp; But then she's short haired, very short haired, so she stays relatively clean.&nbsp; It seems when I do wash her it...

I&nbsp;forgot to mention one other advantage Florida has for residency; no vehicle inspections.&nbsp; Of course if you are stopped and have a cracked windshield you will be ticketed.<br><br>Back in the late 70's Florida had a yearly inspection, but it was only for safety; exhaust system...

Yep, Born and raised in Montgomery. Moved to Florida in '78 and never looked back. I feel your pain. Lived until 10 years ago in central Florida on the coast. It is nice to live close enough, 8 miles to the state line, that I can take advantage of either location. You have much cheaper...

If you work in another state than your residence you will probably have taxes to deal with in that state.&nbsp; When I thought I would be going TDY up to New Jersey as a 1099 contract worker I found out I would be paying New Jersey taxes on money made in that state.&nbsp; I think New York is the...

At least in Florida, the rest areas on the interstates have water spigots in the picnic table areas.&nbsp; I used to fill up a 5 gallon plastic water jug for a couple of weeks when I was working on the well controller in the cabin I was using a couple of years ago. A lightning hit had taken out...

I guess I'll put my 2 bits in.<br><br>Back when I had&nbsp;a 'Love Bug" in the mid seventies, a fibre glass 12' trailer, I used dry ice in the Frig.&nbsp; It had a tray for ice (dry or wet), but had a door which lets the cold air fall out.&nbsp; Also there is no water to worry about cleaning up...

Mine was&nbsp;a 60's era Post Office 1/2 ton van, 1962 I believe.&nbsp; It was a Studebaker with right hand drive.&nbsp; It had a small 6 cylinder engine, smooth as silk. &nbsp;I paneled it with insulation and indoor/outdoor carpet.&nbsp; My wife named it Vance.&nbsp; We traveled all up and down...

Yep I understand. This one is a turbo. Has good oil pressure, 45 psi at idle. I will be changing all the rubber, filters and belts. I suppose if the engine goes I would put in a cummins, which I really like. On the detroit diesel versus gm diesel, they are different I think. My understanding...

I agree on the impact wrench on wheel studs.&nbsp; The impact wrenches, while having a dial where you can set the torque, aren't safe for wheel studs.&nbsp; The tightening is done with a hammer in the air impact wrench.&nbsp; This momentarily puts more force on the stud than it is designed...

I love GMC, I have an old 'vette, 1992.&nbsp; And have had an S-10 that went to 300k miles.&nbsp; It's just what I've heard on the GMC diesel though.&nbsp; You might go on some GMC diesel websites with the year etc. and just ask and see what they come back with.&nbsp; Maybe they can tell you...

I was looking at a box van with a gmc turbo diesel.&nbsp; Called my car repair place for their comment and they said to stay away from the gmc diesels.&nbsp; The owner was trying to sell it as&nbsp;a Detroit Diesel but it was&nbsp;not.<br><br>So I limited my looking to dodge with the cummins...

Nice locks. But you've just limited yourself to the front doors for an emergency exit in case of fire.

Also it seems most RV fires are because of the propane frigs. After they get some time on them they can leak and cause a fire. Compressor frig is the way to go IMHO.

Welcome to the menagerie aaroni. I can't help you with the box van. Although I think you are on the right track. Although getting 18 mpg is a bit optimistic I'm afraid. It's all a function of weight and wind resistance for mpg. There is a member on here that has an all aluminum box he takes...
