    Making a PMF roof with a hidden area for Propane?

    Hey folks, so I am planning on making a hightop with PMF. I've checked the height of my van and the height of propane cannisters. My idea is to make the high top look like any old high top from the outside. But in the back foot of space across the roof, will be an area for two 20# propane...

    I LOVE you people

    After everyone helped me with installing my fuse box, I put the bus-bar on for all my grounds as I was told to do.  I have my LED lights hooked up to it, and two 12v sockets.  Tonight, I made coffee with my Roadpro.  :D  I also put toggle switches because I was concerned about always plugging...

    New Fuse Block immediately blows fuse

    Hey folks, I finally got around to hooking up a fuse block to my system. Mainly because I want lights. I've been using my solar system for a few months now and it's all good to go.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    One of my favorite spots is at a rest stop on the Highway. But I'm always anticipating that one day that I think I have cash.. and I don't.. because usually, that Highway is the only reason I have some change.. to pay the toll...  I considered getting EZ PASS... but my concern with the EZ PASS...

    I've accepted the shuffle...

    I haven't embraced it... but I've accepted it.   I'd seen all the videos on VanDwelling where the kitchen has to become the bedroom which has to become the study, etc etc.   After rebuilding twice, reorganizing multiple times... as a person who likes things in their places.... even if chaotic...

    Developing Courage to do my own Fuel Filter

    So, I went to ask how much a TuneUp would be for my van. Chevy Express 1500 and was told $610.   I noticed how ridiculously easy it would be to change the air filter myself....and did that.. now I'm wondering how safe and easy - realistically - it would be for me to do the fuel filter myself. ...
