    HELP PLEASE: I am still deciding if a van would be the right vehicle for me to travel the US, Canada, Mexico, and maybe

    Nissan makes really good stuff so I don't know what he's talking about there.&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />

    My New "Invisible" Outdoor Wifi Antenna

    Good point, but why do you need to hide the WiFi antenna anyway? Is the help at Starbucks, Home Depot, or McDonalds really that savvy about busting people with certain kind of antennas? Also, what is that weird antenna above the WiFi antenna used for?<br /><br /><br /><br />

    Recommedations for Mobile Hotspot

    <br /><br />Do you think I would need to use Android headers on my computers browser if I use the FoxFi app with the proxy on? By the way, who is your carrier?

    Recommedations for Mobile Hotspot

    I use SimpleMobile ($40 per month "unlimited" data, text, calls) that uses T-Mobile towers although I'm going to switch to their $50 4G plan as soon as I replace my current phone. Anyway, as a test yesterday I used my Android phone with the free FoxFi app (proxy on) as a mobile access point and...

    My New "Invisible" Outdoor Wifi Antenna

    Bradford - Does having your wifi antenna stuffed in the PVC tube impede its performance at all?

    HELP PLEASE: I am still deciding if a van would be the right vehicle for me to travel the US, Canada, Mexico, and maybe

    Hi Bri,<br /><br />I've spent way too much of my life holding myself back from doing the traveling I want because of relationships I was in so I'm committed to staying single and traveling alone.<br /><br />Yes I plan on surfing uncrowded tubes and fishing for food whenever I can.&nbsp;I used to...

    Anyone know how I can find auction sources that sell vans formally in a fleet?

    I've been getting rid of stuff in preparation for life on the road but I'm having a heck of a time finding the right vehicle. I found what looked like a killer deal on a super clean 1992 Ford Class B with only 28,000 original miles but because I waited until the next morning to call them...

    Hi wandering mike,<br /><br />I agree with you that its media that hypes up this stuff (as usual) and I always feel safer in Mexico than I do in the states.<br /><br />Steve

    Which cellphone provider has the best coverage at the lowest price and doesn't care if you tether your phone a lot witho

    Is there a consensus yet on which cellphone provider has the best coverage at the lowest price and does NOT care if you tether your phone a lot without having their expensive data plan? Or maybe they care but they don't do anything about it because you use an app that masks it like FoxFi or...

    Yakima Skybox installed

    I'm not sure if they just shook it from side to side and pulled it off or carefully pried it off at the Q towers. Bottom line is that a scumbag thief can steal anything if they want it bad enough.

    Anyone know how I can find auction sources that sell vans formally in a fleet?

    Les H - What a coincidence as I was just looking at that govdeals.com site a little before you posted this.<br /><br />I spoke to a retired car dealer and he suggested I look for a vehicle in Arizona because they are a lot cheaper than California. He's right too because they are a lot less...

    Yakima Skybox installed

    Thats an expensive but very nice setup you have there. I suspect you've got more in that than many here have in their entire rigs.<br /><br />I don't want to get all negative here but consider doing EVERYTHING possible to make them as theft proof as you can. You can only do so much of course. I...

    paddling_man<br /><br />Wow, I've never even heard of canoe polling before! Seems like you'd get the same great core workout you get paddling an SUP.

    Need to know the advantages and disadvantages of owning, maintaining, and repair costs of 1 ton vans compared with 3/4

    I've had both sliding side doors and hinged side doors and the one thing I like about the hinged side doors is that I can have a little more privacy from the side with the doors open. Hmmm, I may have to re-evaluate because I didn't think about the top of the hinged doors conflicting with an...

    Anyone know how I can find auction sources that sell vans formally in a fleet?

    Does anyone know how I can tap into buying a van at a fleet auction? I'm thinking of former FedEx, Ryder, etc. vehicles.<br /><br />I'm on the prowl for a killer deal on a full size 3/4 ton Ford, Chevy, Dodge extended van, gas small block, auto trans, hinged side doors, and no windows in the...

    blkjak - Nice! I'm looking for one just like yours with hinged side doors. Was that a former FEDEX van?<br /><br />akrvbob - I had E150's when I was in the construction business. My last one had Helwig Load Adjusters in the back which helped a lot, but you are right that the suspensions get...
