Have you checked the local "pull-a-part" junk yards?

I'd like to take mine off cuz the passenger side is covered in car paint and some sort of clear... epoxy, maybe? The driver's side looks great, though and I am so short legged that I need it to get into the van easier. Wonder if anyone would notice if I had one on and one off? I mean, how well...

I think that's what I'll do.  :) I would greatly appreciate the advice and community and whatever help was offered. I do have to get repairs done to the van before I can do much else toward the build, though. I do have my potty and a cot and a cooler and I'm going to get a stove so I won't be...

No, not yet. Gotta wait til the 3rd and my check before I can do anything. But repairs to the van have to come first. I can live without electric a lot longer than I can live without a reliable way to get around.  ;)

Actually, I was kinda thinking about heading to Flagstaff since I'm in Albuquerque right now.  :P

So, sh!t has hit the fan at the family member's house where I was planning to stay while I did my build. That means I will be doing my build while living in my van. This should be interesting, to say the least. An old Chinese (I think) saying/curse goes "May your life be interesting". Mine...

Do you keep your tire pressure at the recommended levels and equal all around? That will make a big difference in mpg.

Since I plan to cover this in a vinyl or cloth (probably vinyl for cleaning purposes) the surface appearance isn't a concern for me.  For me, the fact that it's eco-friendly (er) is more of a concern.

Could contact the company and ask. Chances are, if they're concerned with the environment then they probably use something eco-friendly in the glue, as well.

Lowe's has this at a decent price. I don't remember exactly what the price was but I'm thinking it was around $13 for a 4x6 (8?). http://www.patriottimber.com/RevolutionPly-Plywood.php

I looked at this at Lowes today. Decent price and very flexible but it would need painted... or something. http://www.patriottimber.com/RevolutionPly-Plywood.php

Well, I have started on my tear-down. I changed my floor plans; eliminated the Camp Chef stove/oven and added a sink cabinet (thanks Got Smart   :D ). Here are my new floor plans and the before and afters (so far).

I did! That's what I used to make friends with the last dog I rescued.  :heart: My Lucy.

I wish I could but my van won't be anywhere near ready by then. :(  I am planning to hit the regular winter RTR, though!  :D

I'm with you on the computerized vehicles. Too much possibility of leaving me stranded. Besides, I know a major solar flare isn't going to knock me out of the running.  ;)

Which is why I plan to spend the vast majority of my time in the middle of nowhere.  ;)

:D :heart: :D

Ok, just saw a different thread. What I'm looking for may be the Luggable Loo...  :s

Is there someplace to buy just the seat or do you have to buy it with the bucket? All I could find was on Amazon and comes with the bucket.

I just found out my 1989 GMC Vandura has a 5.7 350 in it.  :D  I know it's gonna suck down the gas but, by golly, it'll have plenty of power to haul it's big self up Pike's Peak if I choose to go!
