    House battery doesn't charge while driving

    Thanks guys! A friend is gonna help me poke around tomorrow and see what's what. I have hope again that she is actually wired to charge off of the chassis battery! I'll let you know what we find. Thanks, DMV

    House battery doesn't charge while driving

    Hey folks- I recently bought a '96 Ford E150 Turtle Top Class B. It's already outfitted with 30 amp hookup and a house battery. I replaced the dead house battery and all was good until I realized that it's only being charged when I'm plugged in. Which stinks because I don't want to have to rely...

    The Return of the Newbie

    Thanks ramblingvanman. The UP is magical. You're missing mosquito season right now, so that's good. They're out of control up there this time of year. They say to pack for all four seasons up there and that's no joke. Woke up in chill and fog, and a mile and half down the road it was sunny and...

    The Return of the Newbie

    Thanks rvpopeye! '96 really isn't that old. My anxiety over making the move really made those car years seem much longer. I really wanted to go older. I like the character and body style of the older vans. I looked at a '72 Ford Turtle Top and loved it. Maybe I can paint a wild stallion mural...

    The Return of the Newbie

    Hey There Fellow Wanderers - I’m back, and this time with a van! Back in April I finally took the plunge and sold my most loyal SUV and bought a 1996 Ford E150 Turtle Top Weekender Class B with 110K. I’ve named her Shelly. (Turtle Top..Shell…hehe) She was quite a steal for the price, has...

    Greetings All and Hello from the Chicagoland area!

    I've been admiring this lifestyle from afar for quite some time now, bookmarking websites, creating boards on Pinterest, and planning and daydreaming endlessly. I'm really interested in stealth camping in a decent size van with kitchen, solar, and all. The stars have aligned and I have a...

    In Search of Wisdom; What Van to Buy?

    Thanks for your input. The '93 Chevy has a V-8, 5.7 Liter 350 Chevy Engine, and I've heard good things about it.

    In Search of Wisdom; What Van to Buy?

    Greetings fellow travelers- Looking for input from some experienced dwellers. I have a generous offer for my '06 Lexus RX330 with 106K. She has been LOYAL! But she's not big enough for my van dwelling dream. I was offered 11k, kbb acurate, but generous for the hail damage she has. SO...Do...
