    FOUND Vans For Sale!

    reduced to 14k Seriously tempting but I am looking for a new rig because my express awd is at 225k I know that engine is pretty amazing but the rest is going to need a lot of attention I guess if it had low miles it would be double the price at least

    Re-Posting In Correct Forum(i think...)

    I think the problem is that facebook has killed forums like these. All the places I have loved over the years have dwindled down until there are only a handful of people left. Facebook pages for stuff like this are next to worthless because they are hard to search for information , I wish...

    GM mirror fix

    I wonder how hard it would be to make an adapter plate. Those truck mirrors are pretty nice.

    GM mirror fix

    GM trucks used to have normal looking mirrors much like ours but that would pull out when you had to tow something. Are there none like this for our vans? Can the ones for GM trucks be modified to fit?

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    The awd is amazing on sand if you air down . Great for getting over a few steep tricky obstacles on a long dirt road It can do better than you would think but mine is geared way too high and with no low range , you really feel it sometimes A quigly is not going to give you the same awesome...

    What's the story on the vans with a hat (Airstream B190 and the likes)?

    I have toyed with the idea of adding a top to my express van for years . The problem is that I need a bunch of rooftop stuff like solar panels , solar water heater and my kayak. I dont do any rock crawling but I do use my AWD to get me to some very remote beaches in mexico. I have to pull a few...

    2021 Savana 2500 2.8l Duramax, Tufport Van top. Sportsman/Clydesdale 4x4. Why or why not?

    12k for the tuffport? I thought they were half that. I have the Express AWD and I love it but if I had to start with a brand new unit it would be a midroof transit in the shortest available cargo length. Then a quigley 4x4 conversion Pre pandemic this was actually pretty reasonably priced I...

    Ambulance build - 2006 Chevy Kodiak

    A five gallon bucket with peat moss and a little diatomaceous earth is all you need out west . Not sure how well that combo works in high humidity though Any progress on the build? Sometimes they take years

    Pop top on high roof van

    This is the Yurtle problem I have been alluding to : How high is enough? Two rooftop tents? One on top of the other? That is just crazy and pretty sure you are going to have to put the smallest children in the highest tent because of top heaviness issues. Now what if OP decides he wants : A...

    Vanlife apps

    Bumping to see if anyone has new apps they just love or if anyone has ponied up the cash for "Harvest Host" and has input on that. Since I made this thread in 2019, iOverlander has gotten way better in the western US so I have not branched out much

    Ironcloud Metalworks Express/Savana + Astro/Safari Swivel Seat Bases for Sale

    Really great looking bit of kit If these had been around when I did my build I would have done a different design in my AWD express. In fact this is so inspiring I might redesign a few things and see if I can make a hybrid layout work Really nice work, thanks for supporting the community...

    Box Truck w/PTO

    I have seen a ford transit van with a bucket on the roof so anything is possible. I would not expect to find exactly what you are looking for right off the shelf though

    Pop top on high roof van

    Americans always want to go one further. Did you guys not read Yurtle the Turtle ? You are heading down a road that will end in madness

    Box Truck w/PTO

    Ok you have me stumped. What on earth could you possibly do with a PTO on a camper van? I have never heard of such a thing in the commercial world either so I guessing this is going to be a tough thing to find. Do you need it to be heavy duty like right off the transmission ?
