or insane. I have been called both, sometimes in the same breath.

Biggest ambo issue is seating for the kid(s). For a couple it is easy, but adding the third seat without them feeling "locked in the back of the paddy wagon" can be a challenge, even for a walk-through. Other challenge is HOA's and parking the things--they are NOT stealthy. But for a good...

I always thought it would be easier to just cut the fiberglass top in half and reglass in a hatch-like frame if you were DIY'ing a one-off.

If they knocked about 50k off the price, MAYBE. I have dealt with fresh water flooded vehicles with minimal electronics (old tractors and dirtbikes) and they are a PITA. Salt, aluminum, and lots of crevices you can't get access to? NO WAY.

Love it. It definitely looks better, but more importantly they will WORK better.

I don't think that VW has a stock engine. LOVE IT. Really slick snorkel.

possibly because the old one tore easily ;) But they still should have had a pointer to the new part number in the system.

You could add a second disconnect outside so you could run from the main propane tank. Outdoor kitchen under the awning.

That ladder is simply brilliant! I love how you lined it up with the window profile--not that they really have a lot of visibility, it just makes it look "right" You seem to have a really talent for melding boxes and curves together and making them look natural.

Maybe it was always there. Could it have been condensation?

Where is the van now? start searching craigslist for seats. The mounting points for the seats haven't changed since I can't remember when (like the 70's), BUT the thread pitch for the mounting bolts did (I found out the hard way) and the brackets changed as well--so look for seats WITH...

http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/55074-UJOR-Build-Thread?p=1273995#post1273995 And that van sounds really cheap--like something is about to go. If it is the tranny, fine since that probably needs work anyway for the conversion. If it is the engine, not so fine. The rear axle...

Well, U-joint is dropping a cummins into an econovan. Anything is possible with time, money, and skills. Unfortunately we all are missing at least one of those, I am missing all three.

This. You can do it cheap with a 6" chunk of strap iron with the nut welded near one end to be the fender washer and strap to position it, but bolting it solid makes it much easier in the future. I have positioned nuts and fender washers in position by taping them into a box end wrench, just...

It's a DeLorean!!

On your picture, it would replace the battery isolator** but with the current running the other way. Listen to show#2 here for details: http://www.battery1234.com/ He uses his regular jumper cables to jump the starting battery from his "house" batteries--I agree that is the right answer if...

Solar charge controllers make fine battery isolators. Charge the house batteries when the engine is running, won't backfeed, limit current so you can downsize your interconnect wires (still need welding cables if you want to self-jump), smart charge, and isolate so you can have multiple...

VERY slick.

That says something, doesn't it?

You can always add one of the toggle hold-down clamps to stop rattles. https://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.asp?catname=misc&keyword=XTTT How is it for effort to lift and lower? will it be wife approved?
