    12 Volt and Tiny ACs for Nomads

    I think I lost the fight to a window AC. I guess a 5000 BTU is the lowest energy I can expend.

    Rattle trap; is it worth the money?

    I thought Lizard Skin was for reflecting heat, not sound deadening?

    Rattle trap; is it worth the money?

    Question: Isn't there another option, of using something like truck bed liner or other roll-on rubberized product? Not sure where I heard that. If so, which product is low VOC making it ok for interior use?

    Van build videos showing framing floor/walls?

    I would be very appreciative if someone would refer me to the best videos/articles on framing out the interior, putting insulation etc.

    It -really- sucks when you look for support here and there is none

    FWIW, I just got a lot of information in one thread and nothing in another. I guess it depends on who's available and what they're interested in. The post that got no response was a reply in a thread where my issue was already being discussed. Maybe I should have started a new thread, but I...

    12 Volt and Tiny ACs for Nomads

    ... or separate the condenser coils and put them under the van. Otherwise you're heating and cooling the van at the same time. Although if it's really hot out there the system won't work very well. I'll have a freezer (115 Volt 1 amp); I guess I could make ice cubes and leave them in bowls...

    12 Volt and Tiny ACs for Nomads

    Thank you for all the great discussion! I'll have an inverter (with 1000 Watt Goal Zero), so I guess my question is which unit uses the lowest amount of energy? I am not a person who needs a lot of cooling. I live in Florida using minimal AC. My issue is keeping my dogs cool when I leave the...

    Smallest, most low profile AC for van to run off solar?

    I'm so sorry I didn't find this thread before I just posted a new one! I think it's what you're looking for: "Tiny & 12 volt ACs" - asking for someone [Bob] to do product reviews in vans.

    12 Volt and Tiny ACs for Nomads

    Bob recently posted a video about someone with a window air conditioner in the window of their van or RV. I was like, "So 2015." I saw a van conversion video where a conversion company installs these: KingtecUSA Air Conditioner KTF-1 https://kingtecusa.com/product/ktf-1 Looks like it's...

    RearView/Backup /Dash Cam - Nice

    I'm bumping this thread to see if I can get any more cam recommendations without starting a new thread. Ideally I want dash cam, interior cam, and backup cam that mounts at the top of a high roof van.

    RearView/Backup /Dash Cam - Nice

    This one looks pretty cool - https://www.amazon.com/Panoramic-Dashboard-Recorder-Bluetooth-Monitoring/dp/B07QXJZXBY/ref=sr_1_6 Is there a better place to get these other than Amazon? I ordered something from Costco and then realized that it doesn't meet me needs at all.

    RearView/Backup /Dash Cam - Nice

    This looks like what I need but the one at the links is "unavailable." Is this the same one - https://www.amazon.com/VanTop-Waterproof-Enhanced-Starvis-Assistance/dp/B07XZ1D226/ref=pd_sbs_107_1/144-3324136-0516727 ? Even better, is there one that I can use to also watch my dogs in the van and...

    Exterior Rubber Coating

    Hi ... I've seen a few videos where people have coated the exterior of their vans/RVs with some sort of rubber coating. I think it's like a truck bed liner. I think I've seen black, green and white. Does anyone know the name of this product/products and can anyone comment on...

    1999 Pleasure Way or 2004 Sprinter?

    2004 SPrinters don't have particulate filters. Is anyone in this group knowledgeable about old sprinters? Apparently 2006 and earlier are desirable.

    Best engine/body (pref shuttle bus)

    Here's a chevy bus: 1997 Chevrolet Bus, $5,400. Seller's Description: 18 Passenger Bus, AC, Runs Good, Wheel Chair Access, Great for Conversation & Food Truck Project [I think they mean conversion]. Link, which I understand will expire soon but if you see the pic you'll know it's pretty unusual...

    Best engine/body (pref shuttle bus)

    I'm still looking! About to buy now. Most of what I'm finding is Ford. The Fords all are older and have big engines and poor fuel economy but lower miles. Possibly a 2005 Dodge Sprinter for only $3500 because they bashed in the front corner of the roof, and over 220,000 miles. We have someone...
