    Old Vans versus New Vans?

    Hey TexasWoman, I never took the time to go and look at this van, but it peaked my curiosity.  It appeared to be very clean, and even had electrical installed in it with access from the outside which makes it easy to plug in if you are at a full hook up site.  Keep in mind though that the 43K...

    Old Vans versus New Vans?

    And in the end, in case you didn't catch my latest post, you were correct, basically.  As it turned out, the gasket for the pcm was badly deteriorated and even the two halves of the pcm were pulled apart with a pretty good sized gap in some places.  That, I believe was the key factor for the...

    Hello from Texas ...

    Well...howdy TexasWoman.  I have relatives in the Denton area north of you and also in Plano. I travel to see them quite often and even have my regular maintenance done on my van by a mechanic in Lewisville. I don't know who boondocks there.  I have boondocked in the Texas panhandle several...

    A bad luck van story and a possible way to avoid it.

    I actually contacted the guy in the video a few weeks ago when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my 2002 Dodge Ram Van.  He owns a Dodge van too.  In fact, at one point he owned two of them at the same time while he tried to figure out which one he wanted to keep.  I don't remember...

    That sounds great FlowerGirl.  I don't know much about the Tiger vehicles, but they look cool from what I have seen they fascinate me.  I got my van back this past weekend and am thrilled at the work that got done.  I am in Oklahoma right now visiting family.  I am hoping to head back west in...

    What about camp hosting jobs [split]

    Hello Bob. Thanks for sharing and for everything that you are doing to help so many people. I would like to know more about the campground host jobs you do and how you are able to then draw unemployment in the winters.   Because of health reasons, I will start drawing Social Security...

    Calling all Astro/Safari van owners

    I agree.  The more I look into these the less of a desire I am having to want to own one.  My biggest impression at first was that there would be a much bigger gain in mpg, but I am finding out that this isn't true.  The more I think about the size the more I am thinking that it would be hard...

    Old Vans versus New Vans?

    I agree.  I am willing to bet that it is more like 143k, which would be much better for all the reasons you mentioned.

    Done working Amazon

    Hi methos54 I have heard that same thing about Amazon from other people too so I never went that route.  I started working and traveling five years ago full time and have worked temp jobs such as campground host positions and then traveled inbetween jobs.  I will be turning 62 this coming...

    Old Vans versus New Vans?

    Thanks for the feedback vfourmax. I have discovered that these issues are very common with Dodge and I am not at all pleased about it.  I got my van back over the weekend and, in my case, both myself and the mechanic, who I know and trust, believe that the issue this time is the PCM.  The...

    My Van Won't Start & Stalls

    Hello Everyone! I finally have an update on my van.  After three weeks of pacing the floor, tossing and turning at night, and imagining all kinds of scenarios, I got "The Call" from my mechanic and I now have my van back in my possession.    My mechanic told me that the gasket that seals the...

    Hello from Northeast PA

    Hello Swtpea1003 and welcome. Be sure and check out the store link here for solar systems.  A lot of people are using the Renegy system that I know and they are having good luck with them.  I might recommend that you contact them directly and ask them how many watts you need.  They will walk...

    Newbie saying Hello for first time

    I was just wondering if there was a connection for you in Manhattan so thanks for sharing the news.  That is great! After sending you a response awhile ago I wish I had added another thought so now I guess that I get to do that.  :-)  It's just a thought, but if it was possible, it would seem...

    Newbie saying Hello for first time

    Hi Flower Girl; Congratulations on making the decision.  That is courageous and I respect you for that.  As time goes on you will find a lot more people who feel the same way and you will find yourself asking why you didn't do this sooner! I think that your decision to spend time with someone...
