I agree, since this is not backpacking, I am not concerned about weight I find a lot of camping equipment is great for a few days on the trail but not great for daily use for months on end I am more into stuff that wont get damaged when I am bouncing round on the dirt roads of baja I am hard...

Filled it out last night, only took a few minutes of my opinionated ranting Cant wait to see what you come up with Excited to get my stickers!

Its says aftermarket 4x4 in the PDF, Quigly I am guessing. Sounds like a local shop botched a helicoil repair so pulling the head would be a must. Kind of a small gas motor for such a big van but I would take it! People would have been going nuts for this two years ago

A locking rear end, walking tricky portions of road before you cross them, and airing down your tires will get you to 90 % of the cool campsites in Baja Those 4x4 sprinters are too worried about their paint to get to remote beaches. I have an AWD chevy express with the G80 locker and I love it...

Forums were the best way to exchange information and swap gear for special interests groups that the world has ever seen Facebook and reddit killed them and offer very little value in return Just not enough people left here anymore for the critical mass needed for a community

I wish there was something like that for the chevy express

I pride myself on being a lifelong skeptic For years I even had a subscription to Skeptic Magazine. But if that were my van I would contact the Catholic Church and tell them of your unholy situation. That van does not need a mechanic , it needs an exorcist.

There will be some stuff like that I am sure but this is more of a party 4 days of whiskey tasting DJs and dancing its really about building a community of nomads as most of the folks are at least part time and many full time travelers, Many digital nomads working from their vans There were a...

Put on by the same guys that do the gathering in La Paz Should be fun. moonlandinggathering.com

That said, if you treat it (and the prior owner treated it) as a 1500 which it is, its fine

No other 2500 van has that transmission because it cant tow much of anything Also the rear end is not the heavier duty 3/4 ton rear end Its a 1500 with heavy duty leaf springs There was huge demand for a 2500 awd but it was too much trouble to make a real one They abandoned the thing after a...

There were very few of those made and my understanding is its not a real 2500 If it has the 4L60E transmission like I think it does, thats the weak link

Oh sorry , that was kind of a last minute deal. I had some houseguests from Mexico that run a vanlife campsite in La Paz Baja sur. They wanted to put it on top of a Jeep Cherokee for a rental unit down there but they are already at the border in Mexicali

How old is this unit? I could not find a similar one on their website What did you pay for it? Why did you never use it? Are you around tomorrow to show it?

Just pointing out that not all human waste is equal and once you mix urine and feces it becomes sewage. Adding the blue dye just makes things worse. There are better ways to do this

Every toilet has its weaknesses but remember those produce the dreaded blue sewage. If you are on an extended trip offroad and need to dump it , its pretty grim for the environment. A composting toilet can go much longer between emptying and I am firmly of the belief that peeing outdoors is what...

Very cool minimalist van. I have wanted to put together something like this in europe for years now rather than ship one of my vans over there. Do you mind if I ask what you paid for it? Also what might I expect to pay for a ten to 15 year old builders van over there in this new market ? I know...

Very cool headlights How do you like them?

Marriage is far far worse

Any idea how many miles you have put on this rig so far? I cant wrap my head around how many problems you have had with this rig. Does this have like half a million miles on it?
