    Kaiser 6x6 RV. Rogue River, Oregon

    Judging from the picture of the speedometer, which tops out at 60 MPH, I'd say the top speed,or at least top sustained speed is in the 40 - 50 MPH range. Note: often you will see much more modern vehicles with an 85 MPH limit, this was due to gummint meddling in an attempt to keep us in line...

    Van camping in -40

    What about the Winnebago Revel? (Other than not having a pile of spare money...) They seem to have built at least some ability to do cold-weather camping in it. It has a diesel-powered hydronic heater in it, dual-pane windows, insulated and heated tanks and probably more. Dang - I just talked...

    New Sprinter coming in 2018

    It's all about safety, protecting the precious van regardless of what happens to the people depending on it to function. Since limp mode allows a limited amount of functionality, the door is probably held open just a few inches, err, cm. Anything to make sure the driver is inconvenienced...

    German Taco?

    I think VW shot itself in the feet with this one. It seems that most of the models come with TDI (diesel) engines, especially in 4Motion trim. Need I say more? Too, too bad. Speaking of 4Motion, below is a shot of my favorite VW badging, usually seen on older Passats - Get it? - Wait for...

    EarthRoamer on CL in SF area

    Thanks for the input, SDDiver5. I wasn't sure if the price was reasonable. Because this is an ER, and at over $100K, I would expect a bit more effort to be put into an ad. A bit o' research and I found what looks to be other legitimate postings -...

    Fixing incorrect image rotation Just a guess as to why the pictures are rotated / upside-down - The camera embeds EXIF data into the images, including the orientation of the camera from "normal" when the picture was taken. Your home viewer uses the EXIF data to rotate the image to...
