Here is a youtube channel with a couple living in an extended van (low top) full time with two small dogs. https://www.youtube.com/user/RubberTrampsReviews/videos They have videos on all kinds of things including the original conversion. It can be done but it looks pretty cramped.

The G1W is about as china as they get, haha. Its cheap in the sense that the mount is plastic, the case is plastic, the buttons are cheap plastic, and the firmware has been used on thousands of chinese cameras. The actual hardware is decent for the price though. The lens is good, with a wide...

The general consensus is that the G1W dash cam is the best for ~$50. http://www.ebay.com/itm/310891426086 This is the best bet for me it seems, and it records 720p at 60 fps. I have no reason to spend any more, after all I do have a decent camera on my phone. This has the wide angles I need...

I am wondering if anyone has experience with different camcorders with still picture ability. I will be doing quite a bit of research on cameras today. I want something that I can take still pictures at decent resolution. I also want the ability to record video at framerates of at least 60 fps...

These are the main reasons I see for going passenger van over cargo, esp one used by a church or something. Watching craigslist over the past few months I have seen tons of good looking vehicles come and go. I dont have the budget to go inspecting/looking right now, but I know there are tons...

The windows would be nice when I am out in the woods camping, but I know I would cover them if I near people. If I didnt mind people knowing I was in there, id consider a class c rv. Crazy low miles on some of them for cheap. I might go for a passenger van like yours, but only if the price is...

Thats the first thing I thought of when I read that. Storage in the rolling seat is a good idea too, though they want 120 dollars for their version.. I bet I can make something comparable for like 30 dollars.

I hadnt considered that, thats a great idea. I will have to see how much space is left when Im through, as it might not be worth it. Cargo is probably my best option, I just need to find one that hasn't been abused. Thats easier said than done, esp in the price range under 5k. Seems like...

Eh I plan to do most of my standing outside the van either way, honestly most of my time spend indoors is sitting down. It is difficult to find a large hi top without a ton of windows, short of an ice cream truck. I guess I could look into box trucks like uhauls. I have seen some pretty nice...

Title says it all, basically the more I think about it the more I cant decide. The conversion vans commonly have a high top, as well as insulation, wiring, and most have a bed already. This would save me a bit of money. With a cargo van, I am more likely to find one that is extended in my price...

I didnt know you could get the core charge waived.. I guess they only want the other battery/batteries if they exist lol. Good to know

Thats a pretty big problem around here too.. Some sort of metal wrap would help definitely. I dont think anyone would take a grinder to a fuel line wrapped in metal, with all the sparks it would cause. Then again, I wouldnt think anyone would steal fuel like this in a well lit parking lot. Its...

[video=youtube] Scary to think about how these vans handle when emergency situations arise, and how high the center of gravity is. The suspension upgrade suggested in the video is about $400, are there better suspension upgrades available around that price range?

Amazon mechanical turk deposits to a bank account, or you can credit to an amazon gift card. I believe they do paypal as well. Most of the others deposit to bank accounts, but you would have to check with the specific employer.

Ive been there awhile, this forum is far more active it seems.

I need need to find a good balance of price and performance, as well as longevity. Looking at the prices of these batteries, I can see why people try to cheap out this step. Since this will be my primary power supply, I need to make sure it is adequate. Does anyone have experience with the...

The reasons I plan to get a cargo van instead of a conversion van is because the cargo vans come extended, and the conversion vans do not. I can pretty much add what I need, without all the extra electronics already incorporated into the conversion van. Plus I hear that people buy conversion...

I am 20, I live on the East coast and my insurance is over $150 a month. Thing is I currently drive a 1.3l Aspire that loses drag races to semis. I also quoted rv insurance (for several different vans/campers) and found it was cheaper. I think the logic is that you are less likely to speed and...

That is a very affordable system, I have seen panels with the same ratings selling for quadruple the price. That wire gauge link was very helpful, there is a lot less loss than I originally thought.

I have read that you can increase panel efficiency up to 40% just by angling it towards the sun instead of laying flat. This makes sense as a flat panel is only in direct sunlight around noon, depending on the time of year and location. Ive also read it is good to tilt the panels south, but...
