So I've started thinking about mounting a propane tank again. Lots of reasons, including being able to hard mount a Propex furnace, but here's the wrinkle: It looks like Manchester Tank is no longer making the smallest diameter horizontal tanks? (Or at least they've stopped listing it on their...

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/rvs/2382609531.html All the usual caveats, no affiliation, etc., just something my net dragged up. Price seems high as AWD isn't mentioned, but might be negotiable. This one is close enough to me that if an out-of-town forum member needed it looked at, I...

Since a few people saw my kite photography rig flying at Overland Expo, and several more people have expressed interest since I posted one of the resulting photos, I thought I would post a thread to give as much info as possible about the rig and the theory behind it. First off, credit for...

OK radio experts. I need help determining where to mount a couple of antennae on my van. The difficulty comes from the GTRV fiberglass pop-top I've mounted that covers the entire roof structure. Beyond just covering the roof in (movable) fiberglass, there's also a big hole cut out from the...

I'm getting close to doing the lift on my van, and just before I do, I will be adding some sliders that will double as a step rail to help my shorter wife get into the van, so now is the time to settle the details of that design. I remember seeing some German vehicles (Vanagons and some...

So here's an odd question, with explanation to follow: If I have two AGM house batteries of arbitrary capacity, but likely at different states-of-charge, voltage wise, would I need two (parallel) isolating/charging systems? Moreover, shouldn't they be isolated whenever not being charged...

No affiliation, I just still have my RSS feeds setup to scrape for all North American listings for GTRVs: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/cto/2000842464.html Ad copy: If I may say, not a "great" price, based on the 177k miles on the clock, and (apparent) 2WD, but it seems that so many...

Hello all. I'm looking for comments from owners of single-burner stoves, preferably stuff like the Coleman 442, 533, or Exponent multi-fuel stoves. Specifically, I'm questioning whether or not I would put a big pot of boiling water on top of one of those... with the possibility of children in...

I'm looking for some long-term feedback from anyone who has had a side-ladder installed on a van. Specifically: visibility (in mirrors) when on-road?, usefulness?, does it get hung-up on stuff?, hard to use with awnings?, passenger vs. driver side?, etc.? I'm just short enough that standing on...

OK, I'm at the point of my Van project where I need to get my curtains done. I want to see yours! Specifically, I want to see your DIY curtain rods or other hanging schemes. Since my Van is also my daily driver, I was originally thinking about something that didn't require a permanent...

Well, after more than a year of lurking, reading, and even some spending, its about time I got a build thread going for my little project. This project really got kicked off early in 2009 while my wife and I were expecting our first child. A friend was telling the story of his nieces and...

Hey everyone, as I get closer to pulling the trigger on a Pop-Top for my Astro van project, I'm finding myself a bit stuck on whether or not to paint the popper to body color or leave it white... Cost is a secondary concern, one vendor quoted me ~$700, others less, so my main concern is...

Hey all. Looking for a little input into my nascent expo/camper vehicle build up. Due to a variety of criteria too numerous to detail here, I had settled for a long while on doing an Astro Pop-top van very much like that of T.Low here on the forum. However I'm trying to explore all angles...
