We do the same, and love our portable toilets. We started with a Thetford 135 that was small enough to fit between the front seats of the van: The "cap" on it served to strap it down during driving (and made a nice center console), then doubled as a riser to get it up to a more useful height...

Yes. I do this all the time. I stream music and (more recently) podcasts directly from my android phone to my car stereo. More importantly, I have done this for years - this is not new technology at this point. Bluetooth 2.0 was introduced in 2004 and already supported A2DP/L2CAP for...

Eh, follow it up with a 5k run or an 8 mile hike. Eat a light lunch and some lean protein for dinner, you'll be fine. Everything in moderation including moderation. Looks tasty. We do a lot of similar stuff. Try a sriracha aioli with it next time, too!

Actually, any factual, accurate, and true statements would be neither libel nor slander. Speaking only the truth or with clear statements of opinion is perfectly defensible.

Van in the ad has 6-lug wheels, so I'm slightly dubious. Have we ever confirmed if AWD 2500's got the 8-lug axles just like the RWD versions?

Astro van benches can definitely be flipped. Imagine Express/Savanna can also, but can't attest to that for sure.

Finally, a topic I'm qualified to answer. My wife has been vegetarian since before we met 22 years ago. I do all the cooking, both at home and in-camp. Our daughter and I eat meat. 90% of the time it's zero problem, and honestly cooking for a 6 year old is way harder than cooking veggie...

Somewhere I've got a photo of a squadron of Formula Fords with mufflers fitted. It's quite the mind-warp, all these open wheel/open cockpit race cars going hard with muffler cans sticking up off the back with little elbows strategically pointed away from the spot the sound guy sits off-track.

Just putting this in here in case someone is ever doing a search: I learned some interesting stuff from shop4seats.com this week: I had inquired about getting a Princess sofa in a 48" width (4" narrower than the smallest size listed on the site). I received the following: Potentially useful...

Sweet. I'm out of the Subaru game currently, but I always hoped there'd be more interest in swapping one of these into an expo/soft roader in North America.

Hey Mike, I've got a non-current-situation question, if you have the bandwidth: How did the rear Pelican box fare, long term? I really like that solution, and I'm pretty sure I'm headed down that path for my van - a nice rear-mounted box hanging on a door-mounted rack will be perfect for my...

Renderings, perhaps, but not full-on CAD. The other issue here is cost for labor. You've basically asked someone to deliver a finished (or at least well-advanced) design, without giving them any money. Until you have a contract in place, and have paid a deposit, any time a vendor spends...

Weird. That's about the same price I paid for one from Amazon back in December. Checking now, it seems prices have gone UP by ~$47 since then. That's a great tablet, and I think $150 is a decent price, but I'm surprised at the fluctuation in street price (usually it's just a decline)

Re: Monstaliner: Two questions: 1) Brush on? 2) Could one do light tints? My 20+ year old GTRV pop-top (technically a LuLu Island top) is probably going to need some sort of re-coat soon. GTRV was not very forthcoming with info on what they'd charge to recoat. I'd DIY, but the prospect of...

Wrapping the loom with cloth tape is really the key to making it last, especially if there will be grit, grease, or a lot of heat.

I was referring more to the idea of convincing myself that a non-flatbed might suit our needs, I've resigned myself that finding a used flatbed model would be a rare event, but if a more "common" model will suit, I can patiently stalk the 'net until a good option comes available. (That's how...

Thanks everyone for the info so far. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious, but I'll keep looking at it. Worst case, I may have to save up for longer. I'm not opposed to the price of a new flatbed model (although that's a very big gulp), but I'm also a bit of a patient...

Hello all. I normally frequent the van section, but I'm hoping to get some insight from people with more truck camper experience. Our daughter is getting a bit bigger, and despite my best efforts at optimizing our space, life in our pop-top Astro van is getting crowded, so I find my thoughts...

I know KK/Hydroflask have been good about interchange with the Widemouth and Narrow-moutn caps. The widemouth is also compatible with the Nalgene bottle thread, incidentally. When my kid was young I used the KK "sippy cup" lid on a Hyrdoflask bottle to make an insulated milk/juice box for her...

There's always a relevant XKCD.
