    Vtwinkicker van build

    Thanks HDR, No experience in the trades but I own a home so one has to learn how to do everything or go broke paying someone else. This is my 4th van since '77 so I've made my share of mistakes, and still am. As long as it is functional and gets me in the woods I'm doing it right.  :^) Here's...

    Vtwinkicker van build

    I'm no carpenter/plumber/electrician either but we do what we can. I made the bed expandable like that so I can fit my motorcycle (XT250) in the van then expand the bed to the open position and same in reverse. Close the bed so I can roll the bike out. I was able to get a 4ft wide bed and still...

    Whynter 62 QT Ac/DC Fridge Freezer

    I had one. Ended up returning it. The unit having two separate compartments is why I bought it. When it arrived I plugged it in on AC and worked great! Cooled fast and held temp well although I thought it was a bit louder than I would have liked. Once I got my solar panels and battery bank...

    what bike? (motorbike)

    One has 1800 miles, that sounds a lot better than 11,000 miles. I'd be checking that one out. The 2002 has a handful of extras as well that might sweeten the pot. For comparison a new one (XT250) with fuel injection is running around $4500. They sure are a lot of fun too! Good Luck Greg

    Solar on the roof gets HOT!!!!

    I saw a chart a ways back that showed the different temperatures of car hoods by color. They ranged from about 130F for white to near 180F for black. OUCH!

    Has anyone considered an aerobic composting toilet?

    <P>I have a Nature's Head that's been in service since August 2011. It is being used in a small home that has no plumbing. Now going on 8 months use I have dumped the solids once so far. The 2+ gallon liquid container gets dumped 1-2 times a week. It is claimed to use about 2AH/day to power the...

    electric study overload, need a lil'guidance

    The most accurate way to keep track of your battery is with a battery monitor. Check out the Trimetric 2020 or 2025RV by Bogart Engineering. You can input the AH capacity of your battery and it will track how much you take out and how much you put back in from charging. It's&nbsp; a "gas gauge"...

    Motorcycles and Scooters

    I have a Kaw KLR250. A decent little dual sport. Not a lot of torque like a dirt bike but I've ridden it everywhere I wanted to go and a few places I shouldn't have. Had the speedo up to about 90mph but that was at least a year ago when I was still young and foolish.&nbsp; :^)<br>Thinking of...

    Hi, I'm Bob, owner of cheaprvliving.com.

    Hi All, Greg here. I've been reading Bob's CheapRVLiving on and off for a few years now. Counting the days till I free myself from the treadmill we were all on at one time or another getting trapped in consumerism. See you on the road!<br>
