    I-5 winter driving

    The worst summit your going to hit is the Siskiyou Summit on the CA/OR border. Just a shade over 4500ft I believe. Look up the website "Tripcheck". It has lots of camera's in Oregon on the Hwy's etc...., and a pretty reliable forcast. We have a storm coming in pretty good right now, but Oregon...

    polystyrene (styrofoam) as insulation

    thanks HDR. When I was younger (12) I tried to make a surfboard out of Styrofoam. I learned then that it does not like solvents of any type or poly resins for that matter haha

    polystyrene (styrofoam) as insulation

    In most of our vans we have stuff that can kill us if a fire starts. I'm thinking carpet, bedding, cabinets and walls would go first.. I'm just trying to weigh out the free stuff over the pink or white board at say like Home Depot....

    polystyrene (styrofoam) as insulation

    Hi all, Had a quick question about Styrofoam boards as insulation. I have a friend who owns a hot tub shop and has a ton of 12"x 4-5 ft boards of 2 or 3 inch Styrofoam packaging boards they ship new hot tubs in. I know the R value is not the best, but my climate is pretty mellow here in S...

    Malibu, CA stealth situation

    To my recollection it is less than 1/4 mile. I believe it is the backside of a shopping center/post office... You will know as the road widens. Check out Google maps. Last time I was there a few big rigs were there... Hope it is still that way and not just for construction... I am always total...

    Malibu, CA stealth situation

    I travel thru Malibu a few times a year and stealth camp. Best spot I have found in on Malibu Rd. From HWY 1, head south on Webb Rd (like 30 sec.). Take a right and your on Malibu Rd. There is a stretch of the road that is very wide. Park on the right when you see apts on your left and a fence...

    Adding Hi top to van

    Corners do not fit perfect. The Ford is more square at the front (these generation vans, Chevys had a gutter all the way around) whereas Fords are not as round. Rear corners are the same so had to cut corners out to fit. Luckily this top angled in, in all directions for quite a ways so I could...

    Adding Hi top to van

    I am not a new member, just has to put a space in my user name due to loosing all info on a computer crash....  Anyway, I used to have a 89' E250 that I converted to a stealth getaway van that I used quite frequently to SoCal to urban camp and hang at the beach. I sold it a few months ago and...
