    New van life camping...

    Chrysler T&C.. have the transmission flushed and the filter changed. If you can do this every 35k the transmission will last forever. A weak area is the line that connects to the power steering fluid cooler under the car. Make sure you can get at the spare tire, that sucker is in a weird...

    How soon will electric or hybrid vans/RVs be common?

    So.... EV Rvs.... not for a long time. Storage density and consumption per mile means batteries are out for now. Hydrogen fuel cells powering elec motors will be the way to go, but not until cracking water to get the H becomes cheap....

    62 I worked for 50 years. The SSI rep even had my input from my paper route, but somehow 2 years in the middle were missing in my 30s.... huh...

    Hello all. This is my first day here, and also my first post. I am single, 75 years old, and on SS. Also live in the blue ridge mountains of TN.
