So embedding on an iPad is useless, so here is the link for thermometer detector in all its glory http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2G5KZQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00

I have a CO detector also. I figure that fire is the last way I wanna die, so I threw in the smoke detector. I sleep the sleep of the dead, through the Hayward earthquate, through a shooting outside my front door in Denver, through fire I suspect. Perhaps the smoke detector will awaken me...

I suppose there are a few quirks. The finish is a bit funky. The sliding door was painted with a different batch of paint than the body and other doors. So it does not quite match. The rear door latches broke the day after I got it. Fixed two days later. The sliding door does not like to...

Mike, I want to fish the McKenzie. I have been flicking nymphs and dries the last few weeks up around Mt Hood. It has been good. So at some point I will PM you and take you up on that offer. Thanks Mike! From Mike!

So that is pretty much where the project sits right now. Summertime is sucking up all my time, with pretty girls, and swimming holes, and adventures at the beach, and shows and festivals. So I will update later, as I dial it in some more. This fall I hope to do the following. Blizzack tires...

I really wanted a smoke detector, but not a huge, beige, flying saucer of a detector. So I found this number. It is a particulate detector, so less false positives in a little space, plus it is tiny, and has a five year battery life. Finger for size reference. I should have been a hand...

DzlToy, fyi, all girls on Duc's are hot.

Electricity. Finally the one thing that I understand. So I am not a carpenter, and not a designer. I purchased for this build a jigsaw, circular saw, nail gun and compressor, sandpaper, and just started building stuff. I am an electrician, by trade, by education, and by god I should be able...

Zombies, like the Tooth Fairy do not exist. But I still think that an axe cannot hurt. So rubber mounts and the axe and awning stick have a place to live. You may have also noticed that the floor is an engineered "hardwood". I do not know much about it. It was leftover from a tiny house...

I built some additional shelves (I still am debating doors or slides or Virgin Mother beaded curtains to close them in.) screwed them down and attached them to the side wall of the ProMaster. As you can see they also still need some trim to hide the ply. And on top, while there need to be a...

Any way, enough with the excuses. I am going to use this van for fishing remote little streams on dirt roads to nowhere. To camp out freezing, in order to make the dawn patrol and skin in for glorious backcountry ski days. For drunken days at the swimming hole, when there is no way to get...

So I know the ProMaster is not a huge 4WD "expedition" vehicle. But I have travelled and worked this crazy world from Antarctica to Northern Africa and all the way to Nebraska. I have lived in crappy mountain towns (sorry Leadville, CO) and commuted to even crappier mountain towns (looking at...

I built some cabinets for the other side, to support the trip fold bed to bench that I made. It is 5/8 maple finished plywood, and I thought that it would be strong enough not to sag, but I am a large gentleman, who enjoys camping with strong women, and it flexed too much, this will get fixed...

So I got the single large floor mat for the front seats from Eurocampers.com, and it is just dotty. And I bought the van sans the U-Connect system so that I could install my own choice of stereo. It turns out it also prevents hacking of the entire drive system, accessories and electrical...

As you can see in the post above, I have now fully de-badged the van. Ram ProMaster sound like the name of a porn star. Probably starring in BSDM action, funded by someone named Kaiser Wheilhelm. Not saying that Germans are pervs, but they have birthed more than one "Ram ProMaster" All back...

Time for a camp break!

And the fan was in. I used a plywood cutout on the bottom, drilled all the holes for the bolts, and ran stainless machine screws through to mount the fan in the super mega plus strong way that I tend to use on everything I build. Maxx Air fan review. I love this fan, it will suck the...

So Amazon has now made many wonderful cardboard boxes appear on my doorstep, and they are starting to pile up in my garage. Solar panel, charge controller, LED lights, smoke alarms, screws and well nuts, and a Maxx Air fan. The van has about 1200 miles on it now, so might as well cut a 14 inch...

I bought some roof racks that bolted right to the factor roof studs, have a #600 lb rating and were silver anodized to match the car. because if you can't match then why bother. Fashion always comes before function. Actually just happy coincidence. I was also looking for an awning. A crank...

The first order of business was to see what would fit in it, so my friend Tank called and said she needed help moving her Ducati. It fits! Duh. But it really fits. I could have jumped it off a ramp and landed it in the back. So there it was, and it needed exactly 3 cardboard door...
