    So I may have overdone it with the canned goods, but ...

    The Russian are the LARGEST exporter of Wheat around the world, they also are the largest exporter of fertilizer which farmers use to grow their produce so this will create a huge food shortage around the world with the sanctions put on them from the US. Think of all of the industrial farming...

    1987 Chevy Horizon Camper Van w/ Pics

    I drove two hours to go see it and ended up not taking it. The front left upper bunk has a leak in the gasket on the window and it was all moldy rotted. I knew as soon as they gave me the keys to start it and I sat in the drivers seat and I could smell the moldy smell and they claimed they...

    Do vans typically sell well over blue book "value"?

    Hi Crofter, You have me intrigued on your build. I, like you don't feel it's necessary to go out and send hundreds of thousands of dollars to have someone build out a home a wheels, nor do I actually have the money to do that.

    Toyota Hybrid Dimensions

    In a Highlander I would say no. The wheel wells measures 46" so unless your 3'10 it would not be possible. I am 5'10. ?

    Toyota Hybrid Dimensions

    I have a 2010 Highlander, not Hybrid. The issue I have is that I also have to the two captain chairs and they do not fold down flat so I will have to build a platform and pull the front seat up to be comfortable for my 5'11 frame. I tried it with the front seat all the way back and my mattress...

    Air mattress for back seat of car

    I just bought this one for the back of my SUV...it's 25 x 77 and it's foam and air together...I've spent the last two nights on the floor of my bedroom sleeping on it. It is pretty comfortable and you can add air once it's self inflates to your own comfort. I look forward to using it to camp in...

    Fingers crossed and saying a prayer...found a Chevy 5.3 V-8 with 120,147 miles and I'm awaiting a text message back to see if I can go look at it tomorrow. I found a mechanic called "Redeemed Repair" and he happens to be a Christian which I'm a quite happy about. I have a message into him as...

    2002 Ford E-350 Superduty Cab & Chasis Commercial Van

    The gentleman who is selling this said it would be very easy to use the closet space by the screen door to put in a full size bed and that this vehicle use to be a Red Cross Command Center and like you said...would explain the only 29,000 miles on it. It gets only about 10-12 mpg so that's an...

    2002 Ford E-350 Superduty Cab & Chasis Commercial Van

    Hi Highdesertranger, It's too bad they didn't take pic of one of the seating areas was transformed into the bed to better gauge the room and length...and as both you and "IG" stated...boondocking may be an issue with this rig and I do plan on boondocking. Thanks for your response!

    2002 Ford E-350 Superduty Cab & Chasis Commercial Van

    Thank you for mentioning that IGBT, it does look very low and boondocking is what I'll be doing so, it may not be a good vehicle for that. I do presently drive a Toyota Highlander and have been contemplating whether to keep it or not due to it not being as high as larger SUV and I've...
