For the section immediately after the compressor, you definitely want either hard line or some kind of high-temp (braided) leader hose. The adiabatic heating from compression is serious business and it will absolutely be too hot for rubber line right there. The choice of hard-line vs. braided...

What engine in your Savana? I bet we could track down a 4x4 truck with the same Engine, and thus the same PCM. You're looking for this type of pin. (This is for a 2003 5.3 PCM, so likely not the same pin on your ECU...)

Looks great. I'm glad this is still "a thing", as the easy conversion of GMC/Chevy vans was one of the reasons I chose mine. As I mentioned in Zuren's thread, the solution for the shifting issue is most likely just finding the right 4LO input pin on the ECU and rigging up a switch to short it...

Whew. I was thinking the same thing, but was relieved to see others with the same advice.

At 4-5 people is where an expanding trailer or big ground tent start to make a lot of sense. Kids don't stay small for very long (as me how I know), so even if you can squeeze a couple in someplace this year, it won't work in a couple year's time - which makes any $$ investment seem harder to...

GLWS!! Your rig (and your documentation, and the many many questions you answered for us on IG), were one of the things that helped us settle on a very similar package for our own rig. We're loving ours, and can't wait to see what y'all are up to next.

All of my above math aside, the reason I tend to choose hard-wired house battery systems vs. a portable system is hassle factor. I completely hate having to spend any mental energy dealing with any of my camping systems while I'm out camping. I want the system to always be charged and ready...

It's important to note that when fridge manufacturer calls out which input is "preferred", what they really mean is just which input to the controller going to be selected by the controller to drive the compressor. This does NOT imply that one input is more efficient than the other. There are...

I think they stopped doing them on Fords because the TTB components they were using got hard/impossible to source. They still list conversions for Chevy's on their site, but if they've stopped doing those too, I don't know the reason.

I see Superduty stuff on their site - do they have something for the F150's too? Still trying to find an aluminum winch bumper for my truck.

This is a great combo at a more-than-fair price. I hope someone snatches this one quickly. GLWS.

I used the TMax on my van from ~2010. Was still working well when I sold the van last year, with a couple of caveats: As others have noted, the included cables are probably undersized. I ditched these and cut up a pair of 2-gauge jumper cables to build all my wiring. The included solenoid...

https://poptopoverland.com/ These guys are in east San Diego. They do repairs on a lot of camper types and very recently posted on Instagram with a Flippac they did a bunch of restoration work on (at the hinge area, etc.). I'd give them a call.

Your KSL link is busted. Here's the fixed version: https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/71487391 To help you comply with Forum Rules: This van is in Salt Lake City, UT, according to the listing.

Our F150 was the first vehicle I've ever owned there there were off-the-shelf mounting options for any accessories. I liked the Builtright dash-mount "riser" for that dash tray, but I figured it would be a PITA to mount various accessories to it once it was installed. Instead, I mounted a 2x...

The common theme here is... vans. That was where we originally landed for our family of three. The original "Westy" layout on a pop-top van persists for a reason - 2+2 sitting and sleeping. We built a hybrid Westy/Weekender layout with a GTRV pop-top on a late-model Astro van, then converted...

Thinking about how I would react if I were in the field and somebody even remotely nearby was running a massive array of lights, I'd be annoyed. So yeah, I'm like SDDiver5 - fairly minimal lights. (And noise, too.)

First, I could definitely feel when the 12g unbaffled tank in my 6400lb Astro was sloshing the wrong way. Second, it isn't just a matter of "scaling by weight". Unless the truck is sprung so stiffly that 1000lbs doesn't compress the springs to the least degree (and I pity your backside if that...

And 125 gallon tank without baffles is a road disaster waiting to happen.

More than 1000lbs of water. Woof.
