I don’t see a problem with just laying 3/8 ply over the ribs. If it was me I would then add foam board then the laminate flooring.

You should hire on with those RV caravans that head to Alaska. I saw them once on my way up thé Alaska highway, they were a dozen or so, all big long expensive rigs, they had their own service person follow them in the event of breakdowns. Just send them this thread as a resume.

I understand the permanent bed thing however if you make it to retract, it doesn’t mean you have to retract it every night. On those special days when you got your best prospect coming over for dinner you open up your bulkhead swivel the seat fold away the bed, you don’t want to have your...

Ok you asked for it, it is a dumb design. My wife does this with beds,kitchen, tables,couches,it takes up too much space, she thinks it looks cool, a matter of opinion. If you want more floor space which is the right way to go, turn your wet area the other way push the bed against the wall, make...

Bolers is one brand of fiberglass trailers that could easily be towed by your rig, with a small canopy on the Mazda and one of those egg trailers you would have a fair amount of space. You could probably tow any ten foot trailer with your rig. They even make slide ons for those trucks not sure...

He’s not looking for 60 mpg he is looking for 30mpg at 60 mph. Which should be doable or close to with a deisel or a small van like the caravan, Toyota, does Chevy put deisels in there vans, surely the big Ford transits, Mercedes, pro master, Fiat Ducati’s, LVD or Renault’s come with deisels...

It’s a 94 i think it’s expensive. I think maybe 1/2 of what he is asking would be ok given it is in good condition. I got 93 Dodge caravan with a factory pop top, professionally fitted out, no rust, heater fridge stove sleeps 4, 150,000 miles, brand new transmission, drive axles, brakes, tires...

Hi just curious why your truck won’t work?

The short answer imho is Yes. It does depend on what you need or can’t let go of. If you intend to continue to be a double bass musician, you will have to be prepared to loose a large part of already limited space to accommodate your instrument. Maybe your van needs to remove the passenger seat...

Yes you can do all that on a factory Aluminium Grumman roof but you still have to be careful, at least on mine I was amazed at how thin the aluminium was when I cut through for my chimney. They used a very light gauge for my roof much lighter then I thought it would be. I agree an aluminium roof...

Interesting My Grumman Olson step van roof is made with two pieces, sealed and pop riveted, from factory, to the cross beams inside and out, with insulation in between. it is an 86 and there are no leaks, but there was one along the gutter, I think from stress from my awning, at one point which...

It is simple you can buy 4x8 sheets of aluminium, the van is 93 inches wide, a small break either borrowed or you pay someone to do it where you buy the aluminium, à 90 degree bend at both ends 1 3/8 inches in ,5 sheets overlapped sealed and pop riveted off a step ladder or one section of...

I think the Ford looks cool What I don’t like is the large rear overhang behind the wheels. As for the fibreglass roof that would not worry me, a few sheets of aluminum, a tube of caulking and a box of pop rivets would sort that out in no time if it turned out to be a problem, it may not be a...

I get the idea you live for this kind of stuff, great problem solving skills, great attitude, good stuff, did you end up doing it where you stopped?

99.2 % of 18000 COVID deaths last month in the USA were non vaccinated individuals, carry on

I think a coloured van like this one is a lot more stealth in a city street thén a white van. It doesn’t make sense but for some reason I think they blend in better in a row of parked cars.

I don’t bother with a tent, I use a swimsuit, i ditched the showers as well, a small bucket of water and one of my cooking pots. Warm water in the sun or from a couple of boiled pots off the stove mixed in, pour water over body with pot, soap up, rinse the same way, job done, no shame in washing.

Depending on where you are, there ar3 shops that sell third world country wares at fair prices that go almost directly back to the producer, they have everything from coffee from Peru to drums from Africa I think that would be a good place to look if you can find one, likely in a city. I have...
