    Finding street parking with Google Maps

    I once watched a video about finding street parking via Google Maps by Will Prowse but seems like it has since been taken down. What are good techniques to finding street parking via Google Maps? Thanks

    Ceiling Panels

    I'm building out a 2013 Nissan NV2500 high roof and I can't seem to figure out what is the best way to connect plywood panels to the ceiling ribs? I have the body builder's guide for the van and it says the holes need a M8x1.25 bolt but I'm not sure how to connect it properly since I don't have...

    Charging Batteries Without Solar

    Is Off Gassing Something I Should Be Concerned About?

    After watching Bob's video on his latest battery setup I'm looking into getting a pair of 224AH 6V batteries and connecting them in series to get 12V. In the video Bob mentions that there might be some off-gassing (thermal runaway?) from the batteries but he himself is not concerned about it...

    Run Fan Without Solar

    I'm planning to install the Maxxair 5100K that I ordered soon but won't be hooking up solar yet. What are some good ways of being able to run the fan without solar for the time being? I was thinking about running it off the van battery (Nissan NV2500) but not sure if that would damage the...

    Maxxair Dexlue On A Nissan NV2500

    I'm currently thinking of getting the Maxxair Deluxe 5100K and installing it in the middle of the roof with one solar panel in the back and one in the front of the roof. I was wondering if anyone has any experience installing that model (14" x 14") on a Nissan NV2500 (roof is 62" x 111"). There...

    Cylinder 3 Misfire (P0303) On Nissan NV2500

    I just bought a 2013 Nissan NV2500 V8 with about 60,000 miles on it from a car dealership a couple of weeks ago. When I bought the vehicle I used a OBDII reader to check the codes on it and it came out clear. After I test drove I checked the codes again just to make sure nothing popped up and it...

    Thoughts about possible parking

    I just recently got my van and I'm starting the conversion. From the research I've done I compiled a list of possible parking locations for city boondocking which includes Walmart, hospitals, hotels, colleges, 24-hour gyms, residential and industrial locations. I had an idea for another...
