i haven't read the reviews, and hadn't heard aobut the foul taste of the fluoride filters. but - i got a berkey almost two years ago, have been through 2 sets of fluoride filters, they recommend replacing them annualy for my useage, and the taste has been terrific... you are supposed to run...

thanks for asking about my progress ---- i'll be honest, i got a van, etc... but couldn't go through with it. i think it's just too much coming at me. it's very depressing. renting the thing, trying to pack, i got some sawdust for a bucket toilet, altho didn't get the toilet, prepared some...

i think i like the bins --- sterilite bins are cheap and you can see what is in them... i'm figuring the bigger bins, 58 qt..... i'd like to try to organize them so they hold related things.... maybe one will hold kitchen and washing things? i haven't started packing, nor purchased the bins... i...

TY.......... bins sound good.... i was, or will still, put in some bookshelves... but then stuff will fall out... i was going to somehow cover the front of it, but for this trip, that seems a little overkill. maybe just one shelf... maybe it'll be my kitchen. how high do people stack bins?? i...

thanks, makl2... makes sense to keep it simple... i'll head over to home depot and get a bunch of bungees... i'll have a couple shelves or three --- i guess i will use a cheap ratchet strap on that.... but most other stuff, i'll put in big boxes...bungee them...

i'd like to rent a van for the rtr.... so i'll have a ice cooler, bed, stove, i guess shelves... maybe a sheet of ply for the floor.... heater and propane tank... a total newbie w propane... oh......two fire extinguishers, lol........ half a dozen luci lights, lol again........ how do i attach...

thanks so much, everyone...... lots of good suggestions! i'll think about smaller rims. will consider a high lift conversion. sounds like letting air out of the tires will only buy me a couple inches.. but gtk. i would leave the van in my garage and take it out when i hit the open road...

hi all hopefully the dilemma is about to end...in time for the rtr????? i want to get a chevy van, 2018 or 2017...... long story short: chevy's height measurement for van is 85". i measured a 2018 van, and i measured it at 81 1/2" at the rear roof... actually, that is probably wrong, since i...

i'm not even in a van yet... but i have a bed heating pad  in my stix n brix. it gets down to 45F or so in my house at night. the warming pad i set on it's lowest setting. you can't really tell the bed is warm. it's just not cold. it's really great just to not have freezing spots in my bed. i've...

TY all........ you guys got it.............. yes, the first place i took it to claim they see stuck valves every other day.... i took it to another place ----- wow --- a HUGE propane tank is sitting in their lot.......like... 80' long?? jeezus... the guy took my lil tank.........filled it...

thanks, guys.... i'll try another place.... this is a flame king, 11 gal, not sure if i mentioned that... it's got an overflow protection device... i can see if that's stuck in the 'no more propane' position, where that might be the problem. i saw this opd described on a YT video...  but i'll...

hi all newbie to propane.... i bought a flameking 11lb new tank, and took it to a gas station near me that fills propane. he 'purged' it...i guess . ... by unscrewing a little screw in the valve. he called that purging. then he opened a lever to put propane in my tank. no propane goes in. he...

OMG...................................................... sigh............... i'll message you, thank you................ actually, i pulled out of trying for this econoline..... the guy seemed pretty questionable, had no records...... i was beginning to think he was flipping the thing........

it'll be my first van............. decided to try an older model, so it'd be easier to maintain, and cheaper to purchase ($2500). the guy says it's in good shape, no leaks, one owner, 205,000 miles. i know it's not an 8 cylinder, although it's a 2500 with a really good engine. (according to the...

thanks ------- wasn't aware of that........... i guess that's a reason to go with a dealer. they'd be more reputable....

what kind of mpg can i expect from a 3/4 ton, which i assume is a v8......? and for CV's --- it seems like people like Chevy Express? btw, i'm not planning on full timing it........ but it would be nice to have 2 week trips, or longer......... thanks! good travels...............

thanks everyone for your opinions........... i'll look at the 3/4 tons......... since i'm concerned about the lack of access to a modern engine in a cargo van --------- should i check out nv2500's? i am not currently thinking of pre 2000 vehicles, which are much simpler. yes, i prefer fuel...

thanks, gtk.... yes, it seems like private owners might offer more variable prices. i have read about buyers being robbed of $$... undoubtedly best to steer clear of dubious characters........

i'm having a hard time thinking of a v8, when i can't recall when i've had a v6.....  do you know what your stuff weighs, excluding your van?  should i start a spread sheet of the stuff i want to put in my van? i'd have to guess-timate the buld out....  it's just probably going to be shelves...

my build out, i think, will be pretty basic (he said.........). there'll be a floor...... at the start, just insulation? on the walls... it'll look... not that great... what a picture... i think it will be simple, so maybe a 1500 would work? i will have a fridge and or freezer... and food... and...
