    Is Swapping gas for diesel engine feasible?

    It would be far far easier to find a diesel cab and chassis truck and mount a box. CAb and chassis are also at many of the RBAuctions.com They do a lot of oilfield, constructiion, landscape type sales. The box can be had for 2 or 3K from Uhaul salvage or other. The trucks be it dodge cummins...

    News Choices

    It is fact. The outlets influence by a much greater margin by what they don't report than what they do. NPR, BBC, the majors are all extremely slanted news. I'm curious did any of these sources inform you of recent wiki details? Spirit cooking with podesta? Lolita Express? No? Gasp!! There is a...

    Van vs. egg camper

    Always start small and cheap and as education, experience, and cash is available then move on to a more favored van or egg trailer. I'd review Becky at interstellar orchard http://www.interstellarorchard.com/ on the trailer. I think thats the way to go. Much less maintenance than a larger rv. A...

    30 vs. 50 Amp Service?

    My 2 cents. 50's are for larger campers with dual a/c's and the like. I always prefer getting a 50 amp service and just use an adapter to fit my 30 amp cable. 30 amp service is weak for winter heat power needs. Always monitor your plugs and cable for heat and/or discoloration. You should be able...

    Hydrogen Sulfide Gas

    I doubt it was from the battery. H2S is common near sewers, swamps, oil production, mining, or landfills. It's naturally occurring and is extremely hazardous. It puts off a strong rotten egg smell. I'm guessing they would have left messages, text, something about the smell prior to suffering...

    So I'm not crazy- or I found my people..

    Sounds great and welcome. I've done it for years as alternative. Currently in Van. I've been a work/camper thru North Dakota winters for few years and dusty West Texas among other. Hauled oil up North. The campers do fine but you will need some updating if not already done. The water freeze ups...

    Two people on $15 a day

    Long time trucker here. Hot water in thermos for hard boiled eggs and oatmeal breakfast is a must. Add lemon juice for healthy liver, cutting fats, oils, etc... Without lemon juice or I use the crystalized lemon paks- it's just not living. The hot water is free at any convenience store or the...

    vancamping, vandwelling, comfortcamping, vacationcamping, but all of it...

    may end up SURVIVALcamping. With the Colonial Pipeline issue among others, a van or camper as means to escape or wait out any political or God forbid economic tsunami seems to make sense. I'd much rather live among the known entity of hungry bears and coyotes than unknown hungry city "animals"...

    Door math?

    If it has a handle it's a door. If not it's an entryway. I think we just count the handles tho not the locks. Maybe?

    Rest in Peace Remington and God Bless you

    Rest assured dear friend, Remy is in comfort waiting for his friend(s). The Bible says, "does a sparrow fall and the Lord not notice?" Of Lazarus Christ said to the rich man, "even the dogs did come and lick his wounds". When Noah found the dove with a twig in it's beak, he knew landfall was...

    Sprinter Mileage/Things to Look For? - Help a youngin'

    I think the sprinter van argument is about standing/ stretching space for some equivalent cost. The gas powered chevy's or ford's are more common, yet can also get expensive to repair. The cummins diesel will go 300K before overhaul, the gas rigs not near as far. I think it depends how many...

    5.2 million

    Unless they are only part-time work related which most are due to insurance/payroll taxes/eeoc requirements/ and etc... Caterpillar just layed off, then hired H1-B visa holders. Disney did same. Nice!
