    GM starts production of an all-electric step van

    I think it looks nice but a bit surprised it looks like a 63 kurbmaster, I would have thought they would have rounded the sides more and flaired out the back to eliminate some of the drag and extend the range but perhaps for the city it would not make that much difference as aero does not kick...

    RIP highdesertranger

    I am sad to hear that, I am proud to say that he gave me all 80 of my warnings and just to piss me off, made them for life, but I never resented him cause I knew despite all the warnings and threats that he would not click the 100 so we would not loose our relationship. I knew he had a big...

    Wanted: Short Term Rental Garage for Van Conversion in the Northeast USA

    It is unfortunate that it is winter, almost where you are, but you still have time. I started my build in summer, found a small section of plywood propped on a wheel well and a stump on the other end to balance it, slept there with a sleeping bag and a thermorest, used a small camp stove on the...

    Wanted: Short Term Rental Garage for Van Conversion in the Northeast USA

    I know you likely won’t take my advice but you got your garage and work space don’t waste your money. Inside your van 6x6x10. All you need is a jig saw, a skill saw, a drill and a driver. They should all be battery powered, I would suggest buying them all from the same recognized manufacturer...

    Question About The Idea Of Grow or Shrink

    By ceiling I mean, if your sales are say 600,000 a year, and have been like this for several years with your existing staff, giving you a fair wage and sustenance for all involved, you decide you want a new house, you want to get to a million, so you hire new people to do the sales then to do...

    Question About The Idea Of Grow or Shrink

    I am not sure where that idea developed, I often wondered why people said it. I know from experience once you are an established business with a share of the market in your area of service or expertise it is always very difficult to break ceilings, it often ends up with periods of times when...

    Step Van Black/Grey Tank?

    I would install the tank under the step van inside of the sliding doors, if that makes sense. In other words under and slightly behind the cab seats. I would just strap them to the aluminium cross bars with metal strapping bolted on a bit like the way your fuel tank is strapped on. The reason to...

    Flexible solar panels

    I have flexible solar panels on my kurbmaster they have been there for at least 10 years, still working good, no issues with heat, glued directly to alluminium roof.

    Installing a window on my van

    I don’t see a problem that should work. You could run a bead of sealant over the tape after you are done if you are still worried about the seal. It is a good idea over butyl I noticed on mine that the butyl tape tends to seep black down the drip line onto the the body after awhile. Maybe if I...

    This is one of the reasons why people hate camper vans now

    They don’t, that is an assumption by the op. I think if this worries anybody they need a chill out pill, or time to make a gratitude list. My friend Buddy used to say there are two rules in life rule one don’t sweat the small stuff rule 2 there ain’t no big stuff.

    Communities to avoid

    There are stupid or crazy people in every community they tend to taint a whole community if you happen to be exposed to them. Of course some areas have more then others. Thanks to covid it has been a lot easier to identify and avoid engaging with them. That is one silver lining in this mess, the...

    Jamie's 2022 Van Build

    When you buy your ticket can you say I want two things a new paint job and a rebuilt motor. In that case Jack is right, it is a bargain. On reflection I think this will appeal to the silicone valley worker or some other hard working well payed individuals, that just bought a new van for camping...

    Jamie's 2022 Van Build

    I am curious as to who would be the target audience for something like this. Certainly not someone with a built out van with skills wanting to help out other van dwellers with their builds which was the attraction to his first van build get together. Certainly not someone struggling who wants a...

    Best vehicle for stealth camping?

    I think ideally a minivan with a pop top is the most stealth and most comfortable for full timing. 3000 is possible but you have be very handy, or very lucky.

    I Feel Awful

    By the way there are a lot of reasons to pay more for your house, most houses in my area are going above rated value. Availability, location, condition, feel, kitchen, bathroom, septic tank, water quality.....neighbours...roof... windows...foundation...

    I Feel Awful

    I am not questioning your research or the value of this particular vehicle, I am only stating that offering 30% less is lowballing and suggesting that you keep the conversation going even if that means offering him 4301, if you are interested in buying this vehicle, seeing that you are already...

    I Feel Awful

    I think you low balled him, not that that matters, he was asking almost 6,000, you offered him a bit over 4000, that is almost 30% less, you low balled him, when he suggested sharpening your pencil a bit you told him his car and his assessment on it’s value were flawed, then came here to...

    How to troubleshoot my new propane and stove setup

    My guess is the little green tanks have an end that when screwed in activates a valve in the regulator which the propane hose doesn’t have.
