For the record, I don’t mind the noise coming from the exhaust but it’s only a matter of time before some clown calls the cops on me and reports “suspicious black van with strange noise” What are some decent options for a 1” exhaust line? I’m already getting an exhaust line extension to get...

Pretty sure 16.5” is the shortest after that you need paperwork. The rifle above is a 20rd box feed semi auto .308 FN-FAL stg-58 “the right arm of the free world” or “the Belgium sledgehammer” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL

Anybody have any experience with this Australian company? They have great reviews and seem to offer a solid product at a decent price. I’m looking to put together an area light package for my Sprinter van with close to 8-10 lights so a few dollars per light really adds up...

these look nicer installed in the ceiling.

Finding reasonable red lights isn’t easy so I decided to make my own with a few left over lights I had laying around. I used red transparent vinyl wrap cut out to fit over the lens. I had to double up the film to get the right depth to the red so that it wouldn’t look pinkish. I also ordered...

I cleaned it up a bit more and did the best I could. Not bad.

The unit has been great for the 3 years I’ve had it. I really push it well past it’s design so this failure here lies squarely on my shoulders. From now on I’m going to run cool water through it first before ignition. This will get the air out and also bring the piping and water up to an...

My van is only setup for showers. no sink with tap water or anything like that.

I found the leak. I was able to tap it down and get it sanded. What’s the best way to go about repairing this? JB WELD or their water version JB Water Weld? Other suggestions?

I went to use my water heater last night for a shower. We have an Ecotemp L5 mounted on the back door of our van set up for outside showers. It was pretty cold, 22 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned the water pump on and in a few seconds there was steam and water pouring out from everywhere. I...

I’m thinking about mounting a few of these in the van for just in case. Seems like cheap insurance for when we’re not in the van or worse, asleep. Maybe one up front in the living area, one under the sleeping platform and one in the engine compartment? https://www.elidefireus.com/

I bought a set of Konig XG-12 Pro’s for my Sprinter van. I bought them specifically because they can be attached quickly without having to move the van. This past week it snowed pretty good here and turned to ice while I was leaving work amd things got really bad coming down a hill...

I need a 2000w Generator but I don’t need one bad enough to spend $1,000 for the Honda. I see there’s a decent selection of $500 sets from harbor freight and generac to name a few. Any recommendations for any of these $500 units? I’ll be using it to run a van heater in the winter until I get a...

I just came across this group while searching for satellite based road side assistance options. Seems like a great program they have going. They’re helping out, teaching and at the same getting out on the trail themselves. https://www.co4x4rnr.org/ WHAT WE DO Colorado 4x4 Rescue and...

I’m not worried about flat tires. I drive a Mercedes Sprinter van and these things can go into limp mode and leave you stranded or any number of DEF issues can you leave you high and dry as well. We travel cross country so having contacts ahead of time isn’t going to happen because most of the...

My main concern is the van breaking down and needing to contact a service shop. The vans in great shape but I just don’t have the skills needs work on a Sprinter van on the side of a trail. Our other concern would be an SOS for a broken leg or something along those lines where we couldn’t move...

I can tell you for sure what is junk though and that’s the flat panel directional antenna for RV’s. It sends the signal 2’ at best and most times I have to have the phone physically touching the antenna. I bough it with the intentions of mounting it behind the drivers seat facing outwards...

I have one attached to a magnetic CB base then sits on my metal van roof. I can’t really tell a difference but then again my tests aren’t exactly scientific. Maybe the base I’m using is interfering?

No activation fee or contract so if you only need it for a month, you pay for a month. This can also be paired with your cellphone so you send your text messages through there and you can also view maps via the app on your phone. I’m still undecided myself.

I’m looking into getting one of these for when we’re out and about in the van. From what I understand it pairs with your phone and allows you to send text messages via satellite, view maps on the app and send out an SOS. My question is, let’s say my van breaks down and I don’t necessarily want...
