    Subarctic ambulance

    The sliding "glass" doors on the left rear cabinet wouldn't slide. The slides/guides/whachamacallems are trashed. They were beercan thickness aluminum channels, covered in cloth. One of them is almost surely beyond salvaging, and the other will never be right. What am I searching for to...

    Subarctic ambulance

    I learned there is such a thing as a divided queen mattress, so I'm building a bed platform that will work with a divided queen. I roughed out the bed platform. It's in two halves which stack. Stacked, seen through the back doors: There's plenty of room to use the space for cooking and...

    Subarctic ambulance

    I've installed a US Shift controller for the e4od transmission, changed the fluids,and started driving it. So far so good. I pulled out the overhead cabinet from the passenger side and the interior cabinet behind the drivers seat, and the door between cab and house.

    Subarctic ambulance

    This winter I got a '94 idi powered Road Rescue ambulance, 158" wheel base, E350. I'm planning to use it as a camper for weekend trips, and for grocery runs to town, 100 miles each way.

    Heating Options

    I used to heat my house in Fairbanks with a drip burner, I'm very familiar with them. Clean fuel is definitely a big deal. My plan is cement board mounted via standoffs on the walls, and aluminum expanded metal shielding on the other two sides, to make sure the blankets don't get too close. I'm...

    Has anyone used a Dickinson marine heater? A friend is using a propane Dickinson in his van, says it kept them warm overnight at -27F. I have a diesel model on the way for myself.

    Zero budget just get out there adventure van

    You asked about what tools to carry. My plan is to carry parts that I might reasonably change on the side of the road, and the tools to do the job. E.g. I want a spare tire, so I carry a lug wrench and jack. When I drove a power stroke, I carried a cam position sensor, and the wrench that fit. I...

    Chinese Hydronic Heater Troubleshooting Resources?

    I bought a Chinese Webasto air heater clone. It kinda works: it'll heat air, and it hasn't caught the place on fire...so far. The manual is useless gibberish. Youtube videos showing what looks like my controller show functions it doesn't have, like thermostatic control. It's not satisfactory...
