Just want to double check, is storing one these things in a place that will get well below zero ok? It's just you don't want to charge it when it is cold. Is that correct? Thanks JM

I am hoping to use this van in the winter more, and on some rougher FSR & back country roads. This vehicle would be used a lot in British Columbia and making a trip up to the way way north. It is a 2014, 78K miles, 5.4L It is a 12ft box truck with a kickover above the cab. From a cylinder...

Well, something went thump and I now have a cylinder misfire in #3. No one here will touch it. Have to slow drive 380km. . Any suggestions? Do I make that trip or leave it here for.... Literally a month before it can be fixed. ???

Saw this unit on the everlanders channel. Curious how people are powering it,c and if they managed to get the umbilical cord detached. I wonder if on newer units it is no longer possible. I was planning on using it with shore power

Here are two things written in the invoice for the truck. "52,000 BTU "Glycol" engine driven heater" " is an engine-powered coolant-fed heater" Does that mean it uses the engines coolant? Can a noob like me remove it or will I murder my engine somehow....

Curious if people use more than one kind. Never stayed at an RV park. I was looking at two 120v receptacles, then just have a few different xxxV / xxAMP adapters for whatever is there. Does that make sense, or is there some electrical voodoo reason that is a bad idea....

Picked this up the other day. Has a 12ft ITB box on it. Anyone have a guess at what the cab over might be rated for weight wise? I am guessing the walls are built with a similar channel as the ceiling. I have messaged ITB for some specs. But I just got this thing. Can you fill the cavity...

Maybe there is something I don't understand about how these systems work... but... the graphic below from their site shows this. Also, the "give us your email for secret product information", not a fan of this kind of marketing. How do you go from 6 to 18 hours by doubling the KWh ...

2012 E250 4.6L $20,500 US 15,500 miles 4.6L 2009 E350 5.4L $18,900 US 34,100 Miles 5.4L Both look like they are short wheelbase. 4x4 Conversion in the fall, so is that a deciding factor on the 250 vs 350 or 4.6 vs 5.4? Yes, the prices are probably crazy wrt locations XYZ and year...

Found a truck I am interested in, but the guy says the PCM is mafled and so it is running rough. I tried searching, but don't really see a clear answer. Lots of ECM but not PCM, not clear answer if the part is readily available. Is this an expensive thing to fix? Thanks JM

I can't for life of me find the thread where someone mentioned a difference in the frames of these two types of vehicles. One I believe was a box frame, more rigid say, than the other. I was wondering if this also applies to the E-Series or Express Vans vs Cutaways of those vehicles...

Was looking at getting a Garmin GPS/messenger. It seems when I am hiking, where I am going I get nothing on my phone for GPS. Will a Garmin have the same problem or do they get better reception? Do some have better GPS reception than others? Say inreachmini vs montana700i Thanks

I tried contacting Jackery, but heard nothing back. They don't seem to sell them. Mine vanished on me.... :( This is for the Jackery 1000 I can't see any specs on it on their site. Thanks JM

Is it possible to have a 4x4 conversion and dual swivel seats in either an e-series or Chev/GMC van? Thanks JM

Looking at either the 1000w or the 2200w Honda portable generator. Is this something I can keep in the back of a Subaru Outback with other gear? When in the off position, do they smell gassy? I have a larger 3000w one but it doesn't make trips and lives outside under cover. Thanks, JM

Just bought one of these. $415 bux off. Not sure what they are up to in the USA, and this is funny money before you go thinking this is in US dollars. https://www.amazon.ca/Generac-GP3000i-Super-Inverter-Generator/dp/B079KRHJ5C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=generac+3500&qid=1608232329&sr=8-2

I searched, but didn't see anything on how those are constructed. Aluminum outside.... but is there a steel/aluminum frame? Wood monocoque? Been digging through all the different teardrop build methods.... lots of ways to skin a cat (where does that horrible expression come from anyway)...

I have looked through a number threads, so forgive me if I missed one that included this. Could you use something like the Happijac Jacks to lift your roof? Why not have those serve two purposes. Just flip them back around a remount them when you want to take the camper/topper off. Given...

Nope, I'm not trying to get out of learning welding, still the plan for the new year. But I came across this place and wondered how far you could take this stuff. Looks good for building things inside, but could it be used to build a frame on a trailer or flatbed...
