Three years ago, I asked the question "Maggiolina; anyone ever mount one directly to the roof?" My search for info on this mod was birthed out of frustration with my many efforts to squeeze more space out of my beloved short wheelbase Safari GT mini-rv. Paying to have a pop-top installed was...

Anyone know if you can put solar panels on a 'glass roof top tent? I looking at Maggiolina and James Baroud tents. I was also thinking of moving my Fan-Tastic Vent to the tent roof due to the area ton the floor taken up by the tent.

I recently contacted the manufacturer of my Genius battery charger (hardwired into my van's 2 6V deep cycle batteries) to ask a question. In the course of getting information on using this charger with solar panels, the tech person informed me that it's not recommended that you charge your...

I recently took my GMC Safari based mini-rv on its maiden voyage. Since the temperatures over our 5 day outing were moderate, we slept comfortably every night. Since returning, we've begun to consider what should be the next refinements in our vehicle. Heating/cooling seemed like an area we...

As I began formulating plans to convert my Safari into a camper-van, I had these vague ideas about using a Kanz field kitchen with a propane stove. I even thought that maybe I would look into whether or not there were suitable propane powered furnaces available for my van. But because I hadn't...

Can anyone tell me whether you can fit a Fox Wing awning to a GMC Safari with a medium Autohome Airtop? Thanks.

I've been debating whether to go with an Autohome rooftop tent mounted on a minivan, or an Astro-Safari camper van. The Autohome allows you to move the unit from vehicle to vehicle, should you decide to change vehicles for some reason (accident, major mechanical issues), but the Astro-Safari...
