Im using a 12V electric blanket that plugs into cig lighter. As it gets colder Im not sure how long I can run it overnight before it drains main battery , leaving the engine unable to start. Is there a tool to alert when the battery is approaching critical level?

while reading, i wondered if the writer exaggerated to generate emotion rather than to go into the experience with a open mind. IE when she wakes up feeling claustrophobic+ freaking out thinking there is a lack of oxygene and jumps outside the van onto the ice cold ground. who reacts that way...

I have no solar set up currently, the van is all stock from the factory (its a 2003 Chevy Astrovan) And the cig lighter is powered even with the ignition off. I read reviews on amazon which people claim the trickle chargers actually Damaged their stock battery. I am looking to simply keep my...

Hello Im traveling from NYC and my friend is traveling from Montreal, we will be meeting midpoint at Lake George, then hopping into 1 car and driving west to Syracuse. Walmarts of the areas have a No Overnight RV parking policy, so dont want to chance it. Anyone know a good spot to leave a...

I want to detach the roof from the frame and mount it on sliders, and be able to raise/lower it.  i want to make it into a Pop Top!  Have you seen anyone do this with the raised roof?  (if not i want to try)

Does anyone know: If the raise roof (Bubble top) portion of a van is screwed down with sealant or a rubber gasket as the waterproofing material in between?  How difficult would it be to detach it from the frame? The approx weight of a 12" raised top?

Thank you for the responses. Next time the first thing I will do is only crack my window down just enough to exchange words and ask "are you a officer" and feel out the person's vibe. If he is unfriendly, I will simply say I will move and move from there. No point exchanging more words than...

Ok friends, its official, im committing myself to the van dwelling lifestyle for at least the next 8 months.  But then again, I have a feeling I will go much longer than that.  I started by traveling from NY to Quebec to Vancouver to San Diego, a 6 week planned trip became 3 months long, driving...
