    12V Refrigerator Questions

    A lot of the newer Amazon brands are getting to be well proven but to answer your query specifically.... I would recommend: ARB Snowmaster National Luna Engel Dometic Indelb There are a million of these things out there now. Most of the above brands are going to have an equal and pretty...

    Such limited 4x4 van choices with decent gas mileage (in the US)

    I think the lines are getting too blurry here. An Outback is not a van and an SUV certainly isn't. Totally different. Van = flat floor and walk through (more or less) from front to rear. This is less practical the smaller the van but it's still the most literal definition. The best small van...

    Such limited 4x4 van choices with decent gas mileage (in the US)

    Henry Ford started this in America with his line "You can have any color you want as long as it's black". The modern translation of that is "You can have any vehicle you want (in America) as long as it's a pick up." Pick-ups get the love here. It's all America really does well. Oh, that and...

    Adhesive Identification and Removal Advice - Help!

    Why remove it? It's there for a purpose. Stick some new moisture barrier (plastic sheeting) on it, reinstall door panel and move on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    On board air options

    I had a Powertank for a while. I sold it. Yes, you can air up tires fast if there is air in the tank but what after that? It's just like the idea of electric overland vehicles. What do you do in the middle of nowhere when the gauge reads empty? I live in a pretty good size town which is a...

    Econoline measurement between driver and passenger seat?

    Sounds about right. Never seen a fridge that's 36" unless you mean 36" long. A word of caution though. The beauty of a van is the walk through. Why jam it up with a fridge there? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This could be a game changer for some, Ford Transit Trail coming to the US

    I agree, I'm not a power nut but for a couple of things. First, once you've had a smallish turbo diesel in something big such as the T1N I mentioned above or the 3.5 Ecoboost in a Transit you become addicted. It's hard to go back to less. Also, how the power is made. Small turbos are just...

    This could be a game changer for some, Ford Transit Trail coming to the US

    What MB should do, though OEMs never go back on things even if it makes good sense, is return to the uber reliable, quick and strong inline 5 (OM647?) they put in the T1N's. These were great engines which gave no trouble for 2-300k. Unfortunately they couldn't built a body around it that...

    2002 Sprinter camper in Denver SOLD

    I agree ^^^ I put lots and lots of miles on T1N's many years ago and still think they are the best thing out there if you can find one. As far as rust this one looks pretty good IMO, especially for the price. There is no more economical (read fuel efficient) van of this size to be had, period.

    ***SOLD*** 1996 Toyota Hiace Super Custom 4WD

    Hey there Prime. Hope you are well. I bought a Jetta from you last year. For anyone looking, I can attest that this is a nice, clean van. I don't know a ton about them but I saw it in person and was intrigued and impressed. GLWS

    2001 4x4 Ford Diesel Sportmobile, Anchorage FB Marketplace

    It's a Sportsmobile conversion, interior at least. All 3 SMB locations used to be managed separately and they would take on work using customer's used vans sometimes, depending on location and time. It's possible he brought the van to them with that top already, also possible it was spec'd by...
