I said it looked liked it wasn't a scam, never said they were not dreaming on the price :sombrero: :Wow1:

This may be good as the location that much snow is possible, the plates are from BC Canada but the listing is for Saskatchewan and the phone number is Saskatchewan.

Why not get a ladder from a van or RV and use the bolts on the hinges to attach it then you have properly spaced steps? Then it would open with the door as long as you never bolted it to the box.

I was already to put a fireplace in for so many reasons but this van is for travel more than parking and I think that having a hole in the roof would be more hassle than helpful 99% of the time. If I ever did a bus to live in I would put a fireplace in first thing.

At this point I don't think it was noticeable enough to calculate as it was on and off all day so not sure that it used much. On the one trip I got 23mpg with it running (calculated on fill-up) but cannot say how long it ran as when driving it is not noticeable. On shorter trips I think I used...

So got out with the van for several day trips this past week (what it is actually designed for) in COLD weather. Nice having the Espar to help heat the van when driving or when stopped, a couple mornings it was -25 & -28C when we started out so I would turn the Espar on 20 minutes before...

I got most of my stuff done now or lined up, only a couple small things remaining on this build. The next one I will know better, oh wait I am not suppose to do another one :sombrero::sombrero::sombrero:

I have been finding it hard... okay to be honest nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find people that are able to help with anything outside the box. Lots of talk but when it comes down to actually doing, even getting a quote and there is no action. I hope you found a group that will do what you want. I got...

I told them to make sure that the fuel pump is isolated from the frame and so far can only hear it when I am outside the vehicle, but like i say I have not slept in it yet.

UPDATE B2 installed First thoughts (and these are only from a couple minutes with it running) Noise - not bad inside but I do need to put on a muffler as outside it is loud so I am assuming there is no muffler on it, I would have looked but we are having a snow storm so did not want to try to...

The older I get the less I enjoy the cold weather :-) but it is sure nice to come back to a warm unit when I have been out shooting. Sounds like you have thought the cold thing over as well. I have a cassette toilet so not lines to or from and on board water will be all under the sink.

You hit that on the head!!! On the Transit I have both van batteries inside (smart idea IMHO) and the coach battery (ies) will also be inside. On my Dodge Journey the battery is mounted below the engine in the wheel well - STUPID idea as it never gets warmth from the engine!

So I have the Espar scheduled for install this week. Went with the B2 and I am paying to get it installed for many reasons (weather, skills, my health). Decided on the gas as it makes sense for me as the van is gas. One thing that I am REALLY happy with on the Transit that I have is how warm...

I have been at a standstill as I need to get the Espar B2 installed before I can do more. I want it under the passenger seat but I am 99% sure the install guys are going to say no so my second location is in the cupboard under the sink, but I was going to put the house battery in there so if it...

Well the weather warmed up just in time for me to get out on Friday and do some work. Earlier on the week I went looking for a door for the bathroom last week and all the ones that I found were $400 plus or way to heavy so I picked up some knotty pine and used some left over Baltic Birch to make...

Believe me I am anti noise!!!! Nothing worse than 8 hours of driving listening to squeak squeak all the way - actually I usually pull over after 5 minutes and start looking for noises. I am thinking of two magnetic latches one on the top and one on the bottom. I was all set for a chest cooler...

Road block day :sombrero: Got the lino trimmed for the bathroom floor and the floor dropped in and that was it. I need to make a bathroom door and was trying to decide all day how to do it. Would prefer to buy something premade but size not anywhere close to standard so that is out. Came up...

I thought driving my vehicle for 2 hours with plates borrowed from another vehicle was hair raising!!! Glad you made it safe and sound. Sad thing is when you try to do the right thing they toss roadblocks in front of you but for the thousands that regularly break the law and don't care they...
