    Spotted really cool rig today

    this was at my store, when I went in to buy groceries I passed the owner on the way in, a woman with a herding breed dog (blue heeler?) but didn't realize they went with the rig till I was inside

    Seriously tempted, thoughts?

    Yeah, I know, a 454 will drink gas like water, probably, but man would it pull! shoot, if it was a 350, I'd be on the way with cash in hand https://victoriatx.craigslist.org/cto/6021103754.html

    Two vans for consideration

    https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5994030664.html https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5992584107.html TBH I lean toward Dodge, but mostly due to bias

    94 F150 with I-6 as tow vehicle?

    I have an opportunity to get a 94 F 150 as a tow vehicle for my Travel Trailer, which weighs in around 4k fully loaded. It's a 300 I-6, automatic, single cab, long bed My thoughts The 6 with auto gives a tow rating of 4700, compared to the Ranger's 4000, with the possibility to up the gears to...

    OK folks, I didn't make RTR (and cant) but I'd still like to try out the dirtbag if, and when, I ever get any of my vacation time I've never actually visited any of the state or national parks in my own fool home state, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions So if you're familiar with Tx...

    For the folks one here with mechanical knowledge

    I've come across a 1976 Chevy 1 ton (so the add says) with a 1983 body, the seller say it's complete aside from wiring, and claims to have the harness, for $500 total cost I hate wiring, but I've done a bit of it Downsides: older vehicle might have some issues Upsides: older vehicle easier to...

    nutty idea?

    So seeing Nadine's post re flying in and renting a van ,I got to thinking, and checking Driving to Quartzsite will run me maybe $250-300 in gas at a guess Looking at Cheapo air I could fly round trip to Las Vegas for $100, and the Jucy RV minivans rent for $40 or so, so for 7 days it'd be a bit...

    ArtW's dirtbag camper conversion

    I've looked at several options for attending RTR, and finally settled on doing a 'dirtbag' conversion on my Ranger with cap, inspired by this website http://www.desktodirtbag.com/articles/ This rather sad looking ford ranger is my starting point

    Ford Econoline E 150 - $500 (Montrose)

    https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5829672813.htmlush start? maybe needs a new starter, but then why sell so cheap when a new starter will add value?  https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5829672813.html

    1985 Ford E350 Extended Van - $350 (Pearland)

    straight 6 motor would be tempting if I thought this would pull my RV, but I think 4000 lb might be a bit much to ask on top of the weight of the van itself https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5851767697.html

    Has anyone ever seen one of these?

    Any idea who made it? any idea if the company still exists? If this one wasn't in Washington, with me in texas, I'd be all over it, supposed to fit my truck http://www.ebay.com/itm/282105483722?item=282105483722&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

    jumped into a new RV

    so here's how this happened My landlord and his wife were both in hospital a while back, and since my land is a rent to own deal, I had a bit of a panic; if they both passed, I could be tossed off my land by their heirs so that led me to the fact that my cabin is, duh, not mobile at all, and my...
