When I purchased my non turbo 500 it had 16 inch wheels and tires on it . this allowed me to get about 62 mph out of it . I switched to 15 inch wheels and KO2 and now I am running about 58 MPH . Just check the 110 volt as the plugs are different ,including the shore power plug . also the pump...

Yes I should have read the other posts closer . I did not have coffee yet so my mistake .If a bolt fixed it that's great .

Have you pulled apart the motor yet ? I had something like this happen once. The crank shaft had broken just inside the motor . First it through the belts .we put new belts on and it did it again ,then we noticed the balancer wobbly . funny thing is it would still start up and run .Be for you...

Sorry to say this ,but I just heard back from the car dealer . The van was traded in yesterday and sold when they opened this morning . Salesman said the guy was waiting there when they opened .

Thanks for the info .Yes I am in the rust belt ,we need to get are vehicles oiled/undercoated at least once a year. The van looks very much like a Roadtrek. A Roadtrek this year and mileage and condition would go for 60 k ,and that's without AWD . I am trying to get some pictures of the inside...

Hi I have been looking for one of these vans . One as come up for sale in my area . I have been reading this thread but only made it to page 15 so far ,but I thought I would ask opinions on what I have found . It is a 2010 awd van with 100,000 Kilometers on it ,little over 60,000 miles . I is a...

You know what they say . Happy wife, happy life . I find it best to have one rig for when the wife comes along and one rig for me .

The type of weather you plan on traveling in should be a big factor . I think the most appreciated time for my crawl through was in well below freezing Temps and a big snow storm . Ran out of propane in the middle of the night ,and woke up freezing . My truck is a manual Diesel so you have to be...

I agree 100 % with you ,when I vote pass through I am referring to purchasing a vehicle that was meant to be a pass through .Like a cut away van ,or building out a van. I would not consider cutting a hole in a new pick up truck . like you say ,it would destroy the value of the truck .My pass...

Sorry but I have not . I don't even know what a URL is . I figure when I am done I will get someone to help me do a build post . I can send pictures from my I phone if you give me a number to send it to . I am retired and worked with my hands all my life not computers .Sorry about that

Yes that is what i was trying to ask . I think I will have my son come over with a loaded and set mine on the truck so I can get the measurements correct . I built a 2 and 3/4 inch plywood and foam base plate that goes in first ,the camper will sit on top of it . I am in the north so R10 base...

Well first its a JB I think you mean ?I be leave the numbers are the metric measurement of the camper ,they were made in Germany .So one is 4.7 meters long and the other is 5 meters long . That is about one foot longer . The biggest difference is they cut the truck frame for the 500 and added...

I currently have one of each ,pass through and slide in camper . Three reasons I vote for a Pass through . 1- heat and air can pass through and keep sleeping area warm or cool .This is a big advantage in the winter ,so nice to have a warm bed when stop for the night . 2- wife has to go to the...

I think the hardest part of what I am trying to do is get the offset right . These caps are pretty much flush with the sides of the box . Would you think 6 inches or a foot is needed ?Can you remember how far off the jacks your guy had were ?

Well after waiting 4 months and then being told may order for new Jack's was canceled by Amazon CA I ordered 4 trailer tung Jack's .. They are 3000 lb rated and have the side screw handles with 15 inches of adjustment . I figure add proper sized pipe extension to the bottom of the legs and...

I don't know if you are willing to compromise . Costco CA now sells silverwing fiberglass/ABS RTT . just type in Roof top tents and it will show up . $2500 Canadian dollars delivered . In US they have 300 off price once in a while and that brings them down to 1700 over there . I keep waiting to...

I do not know if its too far away ,but look at KIJIJI in Ontario .they have a 2004 GMC safari 100,931 K for $8950. also a very rear 2005 Safari condo SC ,pop top like a VW . kitchen, bed . only thing it has 300,000 K and $16,900 price tag . Buying out of US right now is expensive 44% exchange...

So would a 2000 Astro AWD with around 200,000 miles be considered worn out ? Or worth putting some money into ? They say it just needs front brakes and tires ,and runs good .Just looking for something to do quick and easy camping trips .

Ah yes . Mine are hooked up to auxiliary battery systems with less then 3 feet of wire to the fridge plug . One of them is in a gear trailer .Maybe because I am referring to an engineered system ,they want to eliminate any chance of problems that may already exist . and assure voltage supply. I...

Right in the bottom of the socket cover so the wire runs straight into the spade . Mine were installed inside protective boxes so the wiring is exposed anyway . As far as wiring through a fuse block ,I can only repeat ARB tells you not to .Wire direct to the battery they say. I know your...
