    Best route

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I'm in Holbrook AZ tonight from Reynoldsburg Ohio. I want to join the caravan near Ehrenburg but I can't decide the best route. Go through Flagstaff and drop down on interstate 17 or take Highway 377. I'm planning on the weather not being the best. Thanks

    Prius

    Well today I stopped buy a Toyota dealer to look at a van and while he was getting the keys for it I checked out a 2015 Prius V and fell in love with it. I took it for a test drive and 4 hours later I drove it home. I'm surprised how much room there is. It doesn't have the headroom of a van but...

He just replaced  the transmission with a rebuilt one, and right now he's replacing the timing belt and water pump. He's going to list it for $1900.00 but he said he'd sell it to me for...

    Becoming a tent nomad

    I watched Bob's video with the woman who camps with the Springbar tent and have decided to go that route. I've been trying to trade my 2014 Ford Fiesta sedan, but I'm too upside down on it. I had an 88 Dodge B250 but it would have nickeled and dimed me to death. So I will use the tent and my...

    Rebuild my van?

    I have a 1988 Dodge B250 Van with the 318. The things I know it needs are a complete front end rebuild, a steering column, a complete brake job, and I need to fix the rocker panels. The frame is solid, and I had the engine and transmission checked out and the mechanic said there's no apparent...

    1989 Dodge B250 318

    It looks like I have a van. One owner an elderly couple who got it from their mom with the paper work from when they bought it. It was a 12 seater I think. There's one row of seats left behind the front drivers and passenger seats. The seats are almost like new. The only rust is on one door. It...

    Conversion van insulation

    I've been searching for a van and I've watched a lot of You Tube videos and all of Bobs. My question is when people buy a used conversion van I haven't seen anyone add insulation to them.  I hardly see anyone even talk about the subject for the most part. Am I missing something? By the way you...

    Honda Pilot

    Today I'm going to go look at some Honda Pilots. I've been watching some videos on how people have converted them into homes. I've seen some road tests with the Pilot AWD going up against some 4WD's and they hold there own nicely. My eventual plan is to get a trailer, maybe at the RTR if I'm...

    PU Truck

    Hi guys. I wanted to get your opinion on this truck I'm looking at. It's a 2010 Dodge 1500 with 100,000 miles on it. I live in Ohio so I looked and there's no visual rust anywhere on the vehicle. The body is straight and it's a 4x4. Transmission is smooth and the engine sounds good. The hoses...

    Aliner

    So I've watched all of Bob's and Carolyn's videos and others, and was sure I was going to buy an older van to make into a stealth camper even yesterday that was my plan. But now I saw some videos about the Aliner travel trailers and they seem to be perfect for me. I've seen them priced from...

    Hi All

    Hello everyone. My name is Neal from Ohio. I've watched hundreds of hours of videos on Youtube and I've decided the best thing to fit my lifestyle would be a van or cargo trailer. In either case I'll have to buy a tow vehicle or a van with a lot of miles to fit my budget and that worries me...
