    It -really- sucks when you look for support here and there is none

    It -really- sucks when you look for support here and there is none

    You know, it really sucks when illness prevents you from converting your own van and you're forced to look for others who will do a good job without ripping you off. I've been ripped off already. Bob with all his big talk about he and his forums helping people and here I am, without even the...

Before degreaser, friends spent 7K 2x after rats destroyed the wiring harnesses in their two vehicles. After 3 years using degreaser, no...

    Any rats/mice eating your wiring?

    I know this is a problem for some folks so, I thought I'd share how to prevent rodents from going after your wiring in your engine.  The wiring contains soy and that entices rats/mice. The solution?  Degreaser. I've been staying with friends in my rv in AZ for 3 years. I spray my engine wiring...

    Hi everyone

    I've been lurking for a while getting acclimated  to the idea of van life and balancing peace with social connections. I'm not sure that's as easy as it sounds. I hope to finish my van by June/July and then hit the road.  It feels like entering an abyss...  I hope to learn more about how so many...

    Just bought a used Ford Transit to convert

    Can yeti's be expanded? Did you install the rack yourself? How much solar do you have?

    Lithium Batteries if charged like Lead Acid can blow up/catch fire

    Yikes, was that drawing them down 100% only one time?

    Lithium Batteries if charged like Lead Acid can blow up/catch fire

    I liked the almost maintenance-free, draw down and longevity aspects of lithium. I'd budgeted money for power vs furnishings. I could be wrong, but I'd rather spend it now instead of later with fried agm batteries. Thanks..
