I have used plywood as a counter top in the past. I agree with Maki2 and would suggest you using at least 1/2" plywood. Using methods like maki2 pointed out is the key to success. The bottom line is.....how much water/heat it will be asked to deal with.....and how much weight it will have to...

I have seen many sites that only accept credit cards. I think its a security thing to reduce the possibility of being robbed. When I visited quartzite, I was surprized that the long term camping only accepted cash?? I like using my credit card so I can track how much I spend on each of my trips.

I named my van Big Foot but have never had the pleasure of meeting one. :cautious:

You will need to look at something that can handle an inital surge of 1000 kw or better.

I've been a numbers man all of my life. We use Quick books and maintain a budget. When there is something we want, we add it to our Amazon wish list and then compare the cost with retail stores. We also shop around on sites like face book or craiglist for used items. Garage sales and flea...

I agree. What I was trying to say is that the more gas you buy, the more you pay to maintain the roads. So if you live in a state and use the state parks often, you should pay more than the person just passing through. That is not the case with annual fees because the person who lives there...

As a traveler, the state parks fees are always a pain in my side. I still don't see the logic in why out of state people have to pay more. Someone within the state pays less but uses the park more. Some say its about the instate people paying for the parks through taxes, thus they pay less...

My first van was a Ford Transit Connect cargo van. It was large enough to to provide for my needs. It had great gas mileage, a max fan, and I added a window. As you said, I got "creaky" so I sold it and bought a Ford Transit 250. It not as good on gas as the connect, but it did provide me...

I'm not a big deal person about eating. In fact one could say I'm very picky so I don't cook fancy meals. When I travel I carry mostly dry goods...pasta, canned soup, ceral, and precooked meals that you can buy in most grocery stores. I budget $30 a day for meals and always come back under...

Having owned a transit connect in the past, I was informed that that some models prior to 2016 where taller than they are today.......but I'm not sure they would have been called a high top. I have a transit high top now and its over 72" inside. Inside height of 64 would be more like a mid top...

I'm mechanically clueless, so unfortunately I must rely on experts. Over the years I have had mechanics replace parts only to discover that replacing the parts wasn't the issue, so they would replace something else. In my mind, replacing used parts should have an overall positive effect on...

I think that is because when most people talk about gray water.......they are talking about larger storage tanks, like their black water tanks. There are many people, myself included, that have small gray water "tanks" (a gallon or less) that simply catch water from our sinks. I think the...

We live in a world of freedom. We should all recycle, but most people don't. You aren't suppose to throw used batteries in the trash, but most people do. You are'nt supposed to drain your grey water, but many people do. Some take precautions and use proper soaps which is great, but some...

I have been watching his videos for a while. Every camper I have seen seems cheap. I bought an Aliner and only owned it for a year. I have water leaks, bugs getting in, and the door began giving me problems because it was going out of alignment. That next sumer was when we all saw the huge...

I installed two windows, one on each side of the van. I have plans to install 2 on the rear doors. I consider my van like my house, anyone who wants to get in can get in. Its always about opportunity and risk. Like they stated above, if someone sees a lap top or wallet on the front...

Its a wonderful feeling and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I'm insured through Progressive as a commercial van used for personal pleasure. NE catagorizes all vans as commercial vehicles because that is there purpose and design. I did modify the van by adding windows and installing a roof vent/fan. I did my own build and spent less than $1500 doing...

My first van had an annolog antenna and like mpruet stated, you have to spin it around in the direction of the singal. It radiats out from the source and many things in between you and the singal can interfere with the recption.

Cold is a relative term. I just spent a few days at Quartzite and I found the temps comfortable. Yes it was cool in the morning, but it was something I could live with. Most days started out with sweat pants and by mid day I was wearing shorts.

I have a small TV that has a DVD player on it. When I have access to shore power, I watch DVD's. I have tried a variety of different antennas in an attempt to get local channels without much success. Most of the time I stream TV on my phone. I have Spectrum for TV service and I use their app.
