    Question for the lazy marketing department at Toyota/Champ/Whatever

    So $55k sounds like a decent price. Do you get matching wheels? Is it really that hard to find/release a picture of a new camper with wheels that match? Do the front seats match or is that a mixed bag too? Howbout the knobs on the cabinets. Just random stuff out of the extra parts bin or do...

    Big skylights on Amazon

    These things. I am interested in trying on on a van top but I have found no reviews anywhere on them. They are 20x20. I'm trying to get away from the standard Maxxair/Fantastic Vent 14x14 style for a few reasons, mostly lack of light and airflow and that they aren't very reliable fans long...

    Grenadier buyer selling, short video

    Most of the stuff in this video doesn't apply to U.S. buyers but I figured I would pass it on. I'd love to know more about the trim/interior issues he speaks of. As for the start/stop not working, sounds like a good thing to me! I hate it on every vehicle I've had with it.

    The quest for the perfect van seats

    Don't say Scheel-Manns, unless you're buying. Help me brainstorm some alternative ideas for front van seats. I know the usual players, Sienna, etc. but I know there are some other good options I'm not thinking of. I can fab any flat bottom seat to my swivel bases just about but seats designed...

    Misguided marketing award of the year - Black Sheep taillight drawers

    Brilliant, yes. That’s an innovative, yet wildly overpriced product. It takes advantage of a dead space in every truck bed. Just brilliant. But, why market it as a place to hide booze? Just stupid. Why not show some tool storage, jumper cables, an air hose, emergency kit, recovery gear or...

    Need Rotopax vent

    Not sure where to put this, so here goes. On the spare of my Jeep I have a rack for two Rotopax water cans. They are thick plastic if you aren't familiar with them. I have them set up to store upright with the spouts on top so they don't leak in transit and I flip one when camping and use a...

    The Oversleeper

    This is a thread about a Jeep. I hate these trendy titles but I suppose what I like to do is overland, however I despise what has become of the term 'overlander'. This Jeep is literally a sleeper, driven by the daily need vs. the 'overland' need. I guess I'm not immune to the silly way we...

    Slim battery needed, lithium or AGM

    I'm looking for an unusual battery size to mount in the 'trunk' of a new Jeep JLU. I have 5.5" to work with, so a battery no wider than 5.5" laid on it's side will do. Pretty much everything I'm seeing is 6" or more and I really don't want to cut up the tray. I have found some much smaller...

    Smallest EZ-up

    I'm outfitting a JLU for solo trips and have a garage height problem. I will be working out exterior lighting, outdoor storage and things like an awning some other way than adding ANY height to my Jeep. I have 1" to spare above the stock height of my Jeep so unfortunately no roof rack or...

    Chevy AWD camper van $34,500 TN

    Sale Pending EDIT! I forgot to add that this van has a Ravelco security system with two keys. Too many projects, this one must go. It's not a project really, it's a perfectly usable camper van. I had planned to add a sink, stove, fridge and heater and make this a more complete camper van...

    GM mirror fix

    I've always been unhappy with the stock GM van mirrors. They are simply lousy IMO. They are unsafe. I've had a few personal GM vans with these mirrors and also driven lots of work vans over the years with them. The newer ones with the lower blind spot 'sliver' are even worse than the old...

    Smartphone apps on new fridges

    Does anyone have any experience with these. I have not searched Youtube or here, for that matter, so sorry if it's been covered. Please link. I am buying two, possibly 3 12V fridges in the next year or so. One or two will be chest type. I am very familiar with all of the older names in the...

    SOLD Well, I will probably regret doing this but we've decided to build another van since it suits our mode of travel. Therefore, my new Super Pacific camper is for sale. I was an early adopter of SP and waited on this camper for about 10 months but circumstances change and we have bought...

    Chevy/GMC floor mats

    I'm working on a new-to-me van, 2010 Chevy AWD. I'm totally amazed that I cannot find one company that sells a floor mat for this van. These vans are all over the place! It's the only vehicle I have ever had this problem with. What I'm looking for is a decent pre-cut all weather mat or...

    Best heater for extreme altitude

    My apologies if this has been discussed already. If it has, please link. Here's my dilemma. Living in the Southeast most of the time any heater will work, so the rational go-to these days is the small form factor Webasto/Espar type heaters, diesel or gas. They are hard to beat. But, the...
