Hi, I am wondering how to mount a mountain bike on a stowaway cargo carrier. I seen this on a few rigs at last years RTR, and I want to do the same. Is there a hitch accessory I can attach to the hitch then to the cargo carrier that will accept a bike rack? What do you people think? I could...

Hi All, I just put a hitch on the van, I already have a swing away cargo carrier that will go into it. Now I was wondering what would be a good cargo box for it to store gear? I have a wooden foot locker like we used in the army back in the day, god knows how old it is. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I feel real sorry for this guy. Lost everything. https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2018/08/oregon_man_bemoans_van_lost_at.html A tide book would have been a good idea for him. But, he knows now. I think he has a gofundme page. Hope it works out.

Hi All, I heard about this at the RTR. Sounds like it will be great. I am going to get one...

Hi All, I am building my first van by following Bob's series on YouTube. I am just finishing up the shelves and was wondering on the water system used for keeping clean and doing dishes. He did not show any water system on the final build video. I will not be able to install solar until late...

Hi All, Noob here. I am installing 0.5 in CDX in 2006 Ford E 150. Watched Bobs video of it and followed it. My question; how do you attach the sub floor to the van? That was not in the video. I tried spray adhesive from another video, did not seem to work very well. Funny aside here, the 3 M...

Hi All, Noob here building his first van. I am doing the insulation now and then will panel it. Then the floor. I was wondering if it is worth it to sound proof the floor with this...

Hi VanDwellers, I have a question, I bet it has already been covered in a thread somewhere. But here goes. What does it cost to convert a van into a simple camper. What I would like is: paneling and insulation bed a cupboard where I could put my camp stove (already have it) a cabinet Led...

Nomads,  I am getting ready to buy my first Class C. I was wondering if anyone had a handle on the yearly maintenance cost for a class C. I know it depends on age and all I can afford is maybe a 10 to 15 year range. Is there a thread discussing this or does anyone know? A ballpark estimate is...

Hi all, I like to fish and currently live in CA on the coast. Lots of opportunities and I have a license. I want to start the Nomad lifestyle and was wondering about the cost of fishing. Every state requires a license, and this with gear could cost quite a bit. What are fishing...

Nomads,  I am hoping to try the nomadic lifestyle. As such I have been looking to buy a used Class C RV. The problem is I am having trouble finding one on Craigslist. There are several there, and all are WAY above the NADA guidelines. I was looking at the range of spending between 20 and 40K...
