    make great toast on a single burner portable stove

    I also use the Coleman 4 slice toaster and it does make a fairly good defuser. It keeps that "hot spot" from burning if it's left folded flat. But remember!, It stays warm for a while tap test it before you grab a hold of one hot potato! Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk

    02 Ford E150 van seat swivel

    It depends on the mount, some work with ease and others require a little adjusting. But no matter what they are a great addition to the van. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk

    Whynter FM-65G

    Very rarely do they have a sale but if you look at a comparable model they really are a great value. I'm also going to be installing the 65 just because of the reviews from fellow members. And also because I can add another solar panel with the savings! I'd call that a winner! Sent from my Z981...

    Disabled Shower Tent?

    If you have an aluminum portable toilet they can be used as a bathroom with a shower. Dual use is always good! I've helped build a van that the toilet portion could be put inside at night by cutting an opening in the bed platform and by flipping the foam pad back can be used at night without...

    So I f9nd an van .. then what ?

    Just try camping with the vehicle you have already. If possible borrow a mini van or full size van and give it a try. Do it in all the conditions that you can. Rain, heat, etc. Do it as often as possible and see how it goes. It's far better to know how you are going to feel about living on the...

    Fishing!

    Trout is most prolific species in the west but they vary in size and taste. And pound for pound they give a good fight. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk

    This was a good mistake I made.

    Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm thinking about the same approach. Work from my van live in the trailer. But keep it flexible maybe dropping the trailer at the job site and live in the van on longer jobs. That way I'd keep the load down on the van while having a tool shed on site. I had a...

    Director of School of Agriculture has offered to house me through winter?

    Great to hear that there's still folks who actually care about others and open a door when winter takes hold. I've been ok sofar in Cleveland Ohio without running any heat. I just finished repairs on the adjustment arm on the passenger side. So while I was on jack stands I couldn't go get fuel...

    Acorns and solar panels

    "On to each panel a little acorn shall fall" nothing to worry about, they can take it. I've had a small branch land on mine and wake me out of a comatose sleep and it was just fine. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk

    how hard to work on van engine, etc?

    In comparison to the cars they are building now it's in my opinion easier to work with van's. In my Ford I pull the dog house and I have the back half of the engine exposed and in front it's like any other vehicle you have to tear it down to get at mostly anything. But with a manual and some...

    I know the feeling, mine are so used to running free they forget I'm not as fast as they are. But we all get a workout! Lol. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk
