Howdy mes amigos! I have issues! A seal failed in my transmission and I had some good ol' boys fix it and now ain't nothin' right. I'm appealing to y'all because I need to know how to talk to a mechanic about what happened and what is now happening so I don't get screwed too badly. I've been...

Since I'm still in the planning stages of my build and haven't put anything permanent in yet, I thought I'd try to get an idea of what I need to store so I can figure out how and where it's going in the van. If there's anything I'm missing, please feel free to add! I could also use some ideas on...

I just wanted to put this resource out there since so many of us are in the care taking phase of life right now! Please take care of yourself first! http://www.compassionfatigue.org/

I have two old Coleman 2-burner stoves and they are both pretty crusty after years of use. I want to clean them and wondered what everyone does... Those wings on the sides are so greasy it's hard to open them!! I did look up what Coleman suggests, but I feel like basic dish soap is not going to...

In my efforts to "downsize" or basically get rid of everything that won't fit in the van, I sorted through my cookbooks (which were not stored with my library) and found these three that seemed interesting: The "Truck Stop Cookbook" is actually recipes used by truck stops all over the...

I'm putting this in insulation because we need to fill the holes before we install the floors and insulate the walls of our vehicles, but if it fits in a better topic, please move it Mods!! From BradKW's...

Spent all day Saturday and part of Sunday at the Central Missouri Renaissance Festival. Always a good time. I took about 300 pictures, but as usual, only a few came out worthy of editing! Here's a sample: PICTUS: From the Latin word meaning “painted.” PICTUS: Primal, thundering war drums and...

I could use some advice/ideas on how to attach overhead cabinets onto the sides of my fiberglass high top. I'm planning on using the foam board/screen technique so they'll be pretty darned light, but the lip between the high top and the metal of the van is only about 3 inches deep. I'm thinking...

I just ordered the Hy-Tech Insulating Paint and the primer. Trish, the sales lady, said it would work great on the fiberglass top, so a gallon of primer and a gallon of the paint (I've forgotten the type, but will update when I get the email) is $79 plus shipping made it $117 and some change...

I've decided making my own screens for the windows/doors of the van is a good idea, but what magnets should I use? I want the strongest possible. I found the no-see-um screen at SailRite.com for $2.95/yd and 3.95 shipping for priority first class, so I thought I'd be pretty silly not to do this...

Loved meeting you on Ausia's channel, jimindenver! Can't wait to meet you in person!

Well, she is finally home and in my drive (actually the side yard). I don't know when anything will start, but here are some pictures as she sits now: From the front passenger side From the rear... not sure if you can see the metal latch they've put there... funny, but will cost me...

I've fallen in love! She's right down the street from me and at a price that I can well, well, well afford and I just have to share my excitement and ask that y'all send me positive thoughts and prayers and anything else you think might help me get her!! I've already named her "Juanita" and...

Anybody wanna give initial thoughts on this van? Not exactly a high-top, but well within my price range! https://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/6001092991.html

Another conversion van I like... It is above my budget by quite a bit, but the owner is wanting to leave the country, so I could always just offer and wait and hope and not hold my breath!! :-)  It's been on CL for almost a month! https://columbiamo.craigslist.org/cto/5958183477.html

I would probably want to negotiate on the price, I'm sure... but what mechanical issues would I need to worry about? He says the floor is not in good shape, but I would ask about whether that's the carpeting or the metal!! Also... I saw somewhere that there is a spray on paint for vehicles now...

A little politics, a little religion and a whole lotta van talk!! Enjoyed picking your brain, John!!

Really like this van... Any opinions or advice? I really want a high top for comfort with my health issues.... https://loz.craigslist.org/cto/5940064308.html

Is anyone heading to the pharmacy in Mexico? I would like to know if they sell Prednisone or any other steroids. Eta: Mods please delete if not appropriate!
