So before I start I'm going to admit this is a stupid idea. I'm also going to admit I know lots of reasons why we shouldn't do it. But my question is how come van people don't have all the bolt on toys for the side of the van that other overlanders have?? Side gear for pick-ups I know that...

I am on many forums and groups about #vanlife #tinyhomes #buslife #ambulanceconversions etc. I cannot believe all the misinformation that is out there. Some of the misinformation is done by accident. But just as much, if not more, is put out there by people that are trying to sell a product...

I have had a build thread going on the Transit forum but thought that I would bring some of the things here more for ideas in the expedition area than the actual van. I like the feedback from different people and have found cool ideas on many forums so the more information the better. Some...

In my other thread I have been working out ideas for a cold weather unit. If I go with the build it myself idea I have it narrowed down to a 2016 / 2017, 2500 or 3500 model of either the Ford Transit or the Dodge Promaster. I would like a unit with some warranty but I don't think that I would...

Okay I think I have researched everything but thought I would toss this out there just in case I missed something. Anyone done any conversions for extreme cold? Looking for a all season vehicle and part of the seasons is the crazy cold. I have camped in my truck camper in the extreme weather...

Has anyone seen one of these in person? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-travel-trailer-camper/grande-prairie/all-new-carado-banff-camperized-van/1278230991?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true I would like one for year round use but understand that it probably falls short but was looking for any opinions...

I hate it when I stop someplace for fuel and all they have are greasy chips, not that I don't eat them but I know that I shouldn't, and after a couple days of chips as snacks I don't feel the best. As well when I am on the road I find that many times I am trying to get someplace to shoot at a...

This is not a for sale thread but rather a question about a sale. Some background, I bought my dream bike in 1985. It is a Miyata 1000 touring bike, and it is my baby. It has gone many places, slept in my bedroom when I was single and has been babied. My dream for 35 years was to ride across...

Well I have a trailer to haul in the summer with all the extras, or when I am taking a group out, but for when I want to use the truck for a quick run someplace with one or two people towing the trailer is overkill if all I want is the barbeque. I can fit my inflatable kayak, actually both...

My fridge (3 way absorbsion model) in my Tcer is acting up. I am thinking of replacing it with an electric fridge, I heard that there is a model that can run vertically like a normal fridge, is this true?

Just saw this, VERY tempting to buy. Do not see a lot around these parts and it looks in good shape as well. http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2004-Ford-E-350-econoline-Minivan-lifted-4x4-W0QQAdIdZ377385268 I have no idea what the van is like, just saw on line.

Okay I could be crazy (that is nothing new), but I remember many years ago my mother kept a container of lemon juice in the cupboard. It was never refrigerated and we never died because of this. My question is was that a special kind of lemon juice or was it just the way things were done back...

Someone needs to buy this before I do Unimog for sale in Edmonton Alberta I only know what is in the ad, do not know the people selling it.

You would need the right camper but this would be a cool addition to a truck camper. Locker for back of camper I have nothing to do with this item and do not know the person that has it for sale.

Just saw this for sale. Not mine and have never seen it.

Have been looking at a CB for my truck and camper for a couple of years, Never bought one as it wasn't a priority. The other day a neighbor came over with a couple 2 way radios and two marine radios to give to my kids. I mentioned that if he had a CB that I would take it (it is spring...

First let me say I tried doing a search for information but came up with way too many threads to check. I am looking at new tires for my trailer. I bought new tires and rims last year (15" rims) as a package and wore them out after 1500km as the axle was bent. So the trailer is in having a...

My boys and I camp in all weather conditions. In the winter the biggest problem is drying out clothes that have gotten wet (usually very wet as the boys love to play in the snow). Have tried in the camper with us but the humidity is a drawback and they dry slowly. By a fire but many times it...
