    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Hey EzzPete, how was that alien hooker? I tried to get at least one girl of every flavor, but that's one I never got to check off my list before being fully domesticated:victory:

    Building La Tortuga: 1983 Ford-Collins E350 4x4 ShortBus

    yeah they made me give him a name, He's Datt-Mamon, stranded alone on the planet Sarm. My wife tells me they're wanting me to put together a build thread for it, luckily I took a bunch of pictures. A lot more work goes into something like that than it looks like. I've got a lot of fiberglass...

    Building La Tortuga: 1983 Ford-Collins E350 4x4 ShortBus

    Speaking of spacemen- and I'm not sure how I ended up with the theme, but we are planning our first trip with the Tortuga Bus June 29-July4 to the Roswell UFO Festival (where my wife is going to be a vendor selling her gotoartcamp.com art kits) and then on to Carlsbad Caverns (about a 600 mile...

    Building La Tortuga: 1983 Ford-Collins E350 4x4 ShortBus

    So I cleared my pallet a bit for the Tortuga build. last couple of weeks I've had to finish up an old project- building a fiberglass Spaceman statuette for the Intergalactic Cultural Relations Institute (i.e. group of artist friends of my wife). It was fun project, but a much larger chore than I...

    So awesome! Great pics, one of my favorite rigs on this site, was an inspiration to me in searching for (and now in building out) my Tortuga bus.

    Are you traveling through NM right now? I swear I saw that ambo in the past few days in Albuquerque, or it's twin sister. Nice rig, love the double barn doors.

    Has anyone ever used hydraulic door closers for pop-top or bed lift?

    again for posterity- at the risk of making this a build thread- ` I went ahead and bought a set of 6 door-closers off of E-bay. ` http://www.ebay.com/itm/321923259892 ` These are obviously pretty cheapy-deapy aluminum relative to some of the cast iron models available, and I may live to regret...

    FOUND Vans For Sale!

    I lived in a Scamp trailer for a year while divorcing my first wife- I could ****-shower-shave-cook an egg, and watch the ball game at the same time without moving my feet. Good times.

    Wired Rear-View Camera/Monitor - any (current) recommendations or cautions?

    He has a few different monitor packages, and he will substitute and create packages for you. For example, had I gone with the two-camera capable monitor package ($70), he would have substituted the included single camera with the dual-double camera for another $40. I went with the 3 camera...

    Mission Dawn Patrol

    Sweet, thanks. Was thinking of something similar, my van-bus is 16' long at the roof, and was thinking of building 8' awning supports with about a 12" rise- swivel mounted at the corners of the roof rack. The way I've got it figured they'd be held open (out) with gas pistons or a slam-latch...

    Has anyone ever used hydraulic door closers for pop-top or bed lift?

    That's a great idea I hadn't thought of, mount the female on the roof and stuff the straps under the bed when it's down. thanks.

    Has anyone ever used hydraulic door closers for pop-top or bed lift?

    just for the posterity of this thread -here's a more thorough depiction of what I've got planned for these. These are made to scale using measurements from my van- the mattress pictured for example is a full size, but the lift could theoretically accommodate a queen size mattress depending on...

    Gallivanter: An Ominous Beginning and an Optimistic Future

    I'm keeping mine, and if a meteor hits it I'll buy another one just like it- 2001-V8-4x4 with the suicide 4door. I love my van-bus like a new baby daughter, but I know where my bread is buttered.

    Mission Dawn Patrol

    Since this thread is recently back on top, seems like a good time to ask for an update on the van- I really dig your roof-rack canopy idea and was wondering if you have any updates of how the design has fared in the real world, and maybe some pics? You've got my wheels spinning on a similar...

    Wired Rear-View Camera/Monitor - any (current) recommendations or cautions?

    This discussion has helped me a bunch- I probably seem like an idiot or a child with some of the naive questions I've been asking here, I've just had bad luck making assumptions about electronic devices. ` I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these systems. I did not go with the RVS...
