My friend has a 1986 Bounder, and he is parked in  Pahrump. There are a few things not working properly- like the Onan generator for start, then batteries not charging when hooked up to my generator. Any help or suggestions?? Thanks a bunch!

The bare metal in my van has been driving me nutty, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not a carpenter!  So, I finally hit upon a solution that is good for me, for now. I took Velcro and attached it to Reflectix, then I covered one side of the Reflectix with a party vinyl tablecloth...

I’m only going to be able to stay a couple of days at the RTR. I am going to try to arrive Saturday night. My problem is that I have a hard time finding things in the daylight, much less after dark. If I arrive after dark is there an easy place to park until the morning, and then try to find the...

I think I might understand, but it’s fragile knowledge, so I would love input. First, the Grape solar kit, is not going to be picked up- the beauty of ordering from Home Depot is that there is a lag between ordering and taking it home. My ultimate electrical needs, which will probably never...

Home Depot has a 200 watt panel kit for 399. Has anyone heard anything about this brand? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grape-Solar-200-Watt-Off-Grid-Solar-Panel-Kit-GS-200-KIT/203505912

I'm curious, and I'm sure someone knows. I want an ac/D.C. Fridge, but I don't have solar yet. I can plug into shore power from 5pm- 6am daily and I drive about 30 minutes a day- the rest of the time the van sits. Could I run the fridge off a battery during the day and re-charge it with the...

Today was a great day to buy the bed for my van!! 20% off on beds over 150 until Oct 9. If you are bed shopping, now is the time! I saved 60.00 and will cut the one I chose and make 2 beds out of it.

Some of my outlets quit working when I had the air conditioner going and the new giantex washer that was in the shower. I'm in a 25ft Starcraft travel trailer, and plugged into shore power. None of the breakers were in the wrong position, but I flipped them back and forth anyway. I checked the...

Today is the day I can order my hightop from Fiberine! Alas, I'm still debating 20" or 24". I like the looks of the 20" far more than the 24" , and I think it would be high enough. There is 56" at the high point now- so if I allow for 2" for insulation, flooring, and a headliner- I would have...

This has probably been talked about before, but I can't find it, and I'm totally perplexed! I really do wonder why everything I need to do in this van becones a new learning experience.... Which tools will I need to cut the plywood for the floor, make the box s around the wheel wells, screw the...

I've come to the conclusion that I need to hire help to get this van converted! I have a plan, but really no skills that will help me get started. I still have the rails in my Chevy Extended bed van. I have the headliner out, the side wall plastic out, and the seats out, and all of the stuff I...

I just watched Bob's newest video and his awesome hightop is in it!  Bob, if you're listening, can you tell us more about it? I'm planning to go to Fiberine in Nov and get one installed, but I would like to know about yours before I get mine. (It's quite an investment!)

I subscribe to a list serve that looks like it's on its way out. Only because it's an outdated way  to share info, especially with the allstays app. I like to know what the other dude if the fender thinks, so to speak. I thought these two posts were particularly interesting, so what do you...

I plan to get a high top on my van in Nov or Dec. I can't leave my dogs or husband overnight. I was wondering if anyone has ever been to Fiberine in Long Beach? The woman I spoke with said I could overnight at a nearby Walmart, and take our 25ft Travel Trailer, and park it across the street or...

Holy smokes, Batman! I read, I watched, I asked questions, I went to a dealer with a measuring tape a few days ago, and, voila, I now own a used 2017 Chevy Express 3500 extended wheel base van with 24,000 miles. I wanted used, but barely used, and I plan to pay this off in the next couple of...

I posted before that I was looking for a class c, but the mileage I would have to inherit for what I'm willing to pay would be too great. Plus, it would just be too much- big, etc So, now I'm looking at a van- I looked at Roadtreks, but I would still be buying an older higher mileage and they...

I am in the dreaming/researching phase of looking for a Class C. Currently, I'm in a TT, but I don't want to put much more strain on my 2004 truck, and I just think it would be easier in a class c.  I have browsed Lazy Daze, Coachman, Thor via El Monte Sales, and my question comes from some info...

Hello,  I'm downsizing from a house to a 25ft travel trailer and moving from South Carolina to Nevada. From there, I hope to save and trade up to a class c, with a toad I may or may not tow with me when I travel.  For the last few summers my husband, dogs, and I have camped in a converted cargo...
