Hello, looking to add a 24in high top to my Chevy Express 3500 Extended. There are several options to choose from, see below, but the one I'd like some feedback on is the installed insulation. Does anyone have experience with the insulation as installed in a high top by fiberine? I am a...

Hello- I have a van and itchy feet.  I also have a Renogy 100W portable suitcase solar panel.  What I do not have is a fully converted van yet.  I plan (dream) of embarking on the conversion soon and it will include roof-top solar and a bank or two of 6 V batteries. But I want to go camping...

Hello, I'm a newbie with a new gutted (soon) passenger van but still aways away form hitting the road.  Been overthinking security- mainly while away from the van in Urban areas, but also when parked at a trailhead during an overnight hike.  And maybe even when I'm in it. I realize that with...

Thank you all- I've been trying to soak in the various dissucions on 6 vs 12 volt and general solar/ battery installation. A question I have, which maybe typical, premature overthinking: I've bought the100 W Renogy folding solar case.  But have "analysis paralysis" regarding a first battery. ...

Hello all, seems like there is a consensus that Verizon network may be the best for being out and about in the West.  Wondering if there is any consensus on Apple OS vs Android?  And if Android, a great phone known with reliable features that the Boondocking tribe require: reception, battery...

Add solar, remove some of the fluff and go..? Thoughts from the brain trust? http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/5615189561.html 1999 Dodge v8 condition: excellent cylinders: 8 cylinders drive: fwd fuel: gas odometer: 161000 paint color: white title status: salvage transmission: automatic...

Not a lot of information but I'd be interested in folks' impressions- I'd likely use this for extended boondocking- not racking up huge milage but slowly crawling around the remote west.  I would, of course gut it- add solar and a practical build. Is the Chevy 1500 with this mileage and of this...

One of the first conversion videos I watched featured a van with an "escape hatch," which the owner loved.  I'm imagining a very tall van, with tilting Solar etc.  Thinking, with the right set-up, an escape hatch would make roof access much easier. Also in bed sky watching/ telescope viewing...

Greetings!  So new I can't even claim newbie status.  Too much work, too much house, too little freedom, no van....yet.  Thank you all for this site and these posts; reading this site is my new time-waster.  thx a lot!  I have so many under-informed ideas; half baked plans; Amazon wish lists...
