So my step van is now empty and obviously she once belonged to the Pope as she is as hokey as ever. (We really need gif options here). What’s the best way to plug up and seal the holes? I have the ceiling panels that I could cut into squares and glue own with silicon and pressure. There are...

If you’re a REI member you can use the 20% off (1 for reg price, 1 for outlet). Obviously not on everything, but they do have so.at generators/solar panels, the Dom chest fridges lots of people like which are like $1k. 20% off those things are big. That’s where I got my EcoFlow Delta max...

I have one tie rod that is broke and needs fixing. I was quoted $1050 for parts and $550 for labor. Does that sound in the ballpark? (I’m in Alaska, so all our prices are inflated, and price of parts include shipping… or at least they tack that on a shipping charge and claim it “overhead” or...

Just noticed I can get one through Home Depot. There are several types. I’m looking for a 16’ cargo step van and not sure which is the best model. I do kinda like the idea of a portable one, but not sure that’s the best for a van build. Any thoughts? I feel a bit better being able to buy them...

So you folks, in their mid-80’s (bless their hearts)said they have 12 things of insulation sitting around that I could use on my build. I thought.. score! Turned out to be 16” x 25’ rolls of reflectix…12 of them. No idea what they had planned for them, they’ve built many houses, cabins...

The cab is as expected, dirty and greasy with old yellow foam and who knows what. How best to clean “gut” and redo the cab and dash?

It was recommended that I start my own story tread … which feels a bit like doing a biography and I’ve never understood why anyone would read mine. 🤣. But I think i l do this more for me (as suggested) for my own personal documentation. Which makes sense, I’m more apt to write to “others” than...

If it’s okay, I’d like to post pictures of underneath to see if anyone spits anything of concern as well possible suggestions of using the space for storage, tanks, can I cut down from the floor and add compartments accessible for the floor… or even like a drop down kind of tub thing? Not that...

I just adopted a stepvan and trying narrow down the best room or channel or whatever for posting. I get a bit lost with all of this. We don’t fit in with the sprinter pro master .. soccer mom vans (idk that’s what I always called them when I was a soccer mom with my Jeep). But not really an...

So the van I bought remotely actually has a higher floor, which is great for clearance, but is not the 7’ I was expecting. Please don’t tell me to buy a new van or cut on me buying this one.. I’ve seen some posts where people are pretty brutal to the poster. This is what it is, I’m asking where...

So the other MT45 deal fell through … but I got an even better one. 2001 P42 140,000 miles used as a contractors rig. Decent Step Vans are near impossible to find up here in AK or beat to hell. But I had to get a guy to do my deal… as he wouldn’t respond to a “girl”. The MT45 had translucent...

Just starting on this journey. In my youth I traveled around the worth with a backpack, buggered up/down the Alcan with my dog, and basically roamed. I was married to Air Force for 13 years and lived in Japan and traveled around that area. I divorced him 10 years ago, at which time my kids...
