    My van camper

    That's a good looking set up. Great work, should be very comfortable and functional.

    Anyone using WalMart Hart tools? Or looking for a tool set?

    Harbor Freight sells a lot of junk also. For power tools I stick with Lowes or Home Depot. As my dad used to say about tools, "If you buy cheap stuff, you got cheap stuff.

    Anyone using WalMart Hart tools? Or looking for a tool set?

    Walmart tools are usually poorly tempered junk from China. Sockets will split and spanner wrenches round out.

    New engine

    My understanding is that Jasper rebuilds are hit and miss. Some good, some bad, no way to tell.

    What company can you insure a modified van through?

    From what I’ve heard it takes a miracle to get GEICO to pay a claim. You’re better off with another company anyway.

    Camper Top Build Plans

    I am retiring at age 65  in Dec. of this year. I have another part time job I'm keeping for extra income while I do construction. I've looked at a lot of different set ups. My vehicle is a 2007 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab, so it has a six foot bed. I purchased it new and have followed all required...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed

    The camper top is the option I'm going with for now. I've got a 07 Tacoma 4x4 with 150k. I've done all the maintenance by the schedule and it is in great shape. Looking for either an A.R.E or Leer, I've built both up on their websites, just need to go to a dealer and get a quote. I've got a list...

    Found my home

    I have a 2003 Aliner Expedition, have owned it since 2010. The lack of storage is my biggest complaint. I use those plastic tubs to store food and groceries. Just have to move them back and forth between the camper and the truck.  It and a 2007 Toyota Tacoma will be my home when I retire on...

    '88 Chevy G20 w Quigley 4x4

    I used to restore a lot of old Mercedes diesels. I bought only one with rust. It will only get worse unless the rust areas are taken care asap. Much easier and cheaper to find a rust free model. If you really want this one check the frame carefully, if the body has rust, the frame is almost sure...

    Are most Vehicle Dwellers Single

    I didn't make myself clear. I am pleased to be entering singlehood. It is a joyful, blissful state in which I will remain until death. I have no interest in meeting a woman to romance. Been there, down that and have the emotional and financial scars.  Just wondering what to expect out there and...

    Are most Vehicle Dwellers Single

    I am soon to become single after 30 years of marriage. Plan to retire in July of 2018 at age 63 1/2. Insurance on Cobra until Medicare, I've got to have insurance due to some ongoing permanent medical problems. I will either rent an apartment or buy an RV until then, as I will give up the home...

    Toyota RV in southeast

    I think it would be woefully under powered pulling that kind of weight with a 92 model 6 cylinder engine.

    Looking at Conversion Vans and have no idea what is good price

    I feel you pain on that point. I've been looking at class B's on my local Craigslist. Did some online searching and found the local ads seem to be several thousand above what I am seeing on the internet. Not sure why that is unless some folks want to get more money for their rig than they paid...

    Ford Falcon 1989 Year

    Thanks for the link, I did a search on Falcons and didn't get that thread. It is the E350 model. Is the only problem with this the engine size and mpg? He says he gets about 10 mpg.

    Ford Falcon 1989 Year

    Looking for more information on the Ford Falcon Class B campers.  There is one for sale locally that is clean with 48,000 miles. Just viewed it online and it looks great and the owner says it is well maintained. Biggest problem it's listed for quite a bit more than ads I've seen searching the...
