Are there any good apps for finding things like campsites in north america? I have downloaded a few today and they either did not work or did not have enough users to make them viable. The only thing I have found that works well is iOverlander but it seems better in the baja than it does in the...

Double check but I THINK these might be the ones. Not at all 100% though https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYNJAVW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

How does that front bracket over the door attach? I dont have an account there so I cant open the the thumbnail.

I have a fiama awning with gutter mounts on my westfalia and they are extremely durable. Dont see how they would work on my express though as they need an exposed B pillar for the lower tab to rest against. You could easily mount it on the drivers side but not the passenger .

it would be good enough for me if I could get some decent sized tires on it

This build has gotten way out of hand. How crazy expensive is this thing gonna be?

sadly no , it will still come with those horrible tiny tires

Why not just wait a few months for the new AWD 2020 transit?

You are on it mate! you are doing great, steady as she goes

This is definitely in the spirit of the vanlife board. Lets not move this thread anywhere. I wonder if a torsion box made out of 1/8 inch ply would add the needed rigidity and make this top sturdy enough for all the solar panels and kayaks I desperately want to bolt onto it.

Thanks for the detailed info Grampswrx. So 20k a year in revenue for about 20k in miles? Roughly a buck a mile of wear and tear on the rig. This really puts things into perspective for me. That math will work well at some pricepoints and horribly on others.

When stuff comes back broken, do you charge the customer for that? Is there a deposit or are you just eating those costs?

X3 sort of I did half inch of the blue foam board then went directly to bamboo flooring. Its been in almost three years and I have never had a problem. I used the flooring that snaps together to form one big piece. I just did not want to lose another inch of limited space and so far I am happy...

That is really cheap.

what will a tufport top cost you?

I love the front seats in my VW westy. They are firm , give good back support and generally rock. The express van seat makes driving more than 5 hours a pretty brutal task for my low back. For one thing, the seat portion on the express is 20 inches long. The westfalia seat is only 17 inches...

The AWD syncro westfalia absolutely has a granny gear, you get one with lockers and with its short wheelbase it will go places a van should not be able to go. The 2wd version (I have 2 , an auto and a standard) has no low gear and is a real problem on steep offroad hills. First gear in the...

The reason I have not gotten a sprinter is because I dont want diesel. Saw too many problems with the fuel in Baja making modern diesels have problems not to mention that the price of diesel is supposed to go way up compared to gasoline in 2020 when container ships will be mandated to use low...

I tried this years ago in a vanagon westfalia . The off gassing was unbearable , total failure

I had not thought about this. I really hope that first gear is nice and low. Its the one thing I really lament about my Express AWD
