Keep us posted, BTW. Best of luck. Vans do make the best campers (IMHO), even though I certainly like trucks with campers, shells, tear drop trailers, roof top tents on wagons, etc., etc.... Another option is a mini-van. Take a look at Jucy Rentals. We rented one, and the rear kitchen is...

Conversion vans with a slight raised fiberglass roof can be had for pretty cheap, it seems. Personally, I'd want to take all the decals they tend to have, and the fiberglass running boards, but that slightly higher roof would be nice, and worth the effort. Even it meant a monstaliner paint job...

Funny you should mentions this. We bought some used equip from a contractor with a brand new Transit van, so we would up talking vans. He had a Sprinter for about 100K miles, and the engine was fine, but it was rusting out. The nail in coffin was the exhaust needed replacing and it was going...

Budget build and what to stay away from? Vanagons, stay away from Vanagons...

But with the fridge, I've found that we could slip two beers in before supper and have them cool enough to drink with supper. This was with a rental van (Jucy Camper) and the fridge was a 29L (30 qt) drawer. Our family of 4 could get by with this, but a larger one would have allowed stocking...

Weird, not listed for sale anywhere. Slumberjack website, says available early July. So much for getting this week for next weeks vacation!

Says they are made out of polyethylene; MaxxTrax are made out of glass filled Nylon, a much stronger material. That doesn't mean polyethylene is unsuitable, but I'd probably pass until the reviews come in.

Can't find it for sale anywhere - weird, since it's new. Maybe it has not been released yet?

You mean like the one asking if you can drive with it open😅

"Made from the same lightweight and breathable materials as backcountry tents - 210D nylon" Back country gear is made to keep the weight low, so the durability has to suffer, at least somewhat. I wonder if they will offer replacement tents, at a fair cost? Knowing you could replace the tent...

I do like the dual chamber pad of the Sea to Summit Comfort Light pad you tested. We recently experienced a leak on an old Big Agnes pad. And even with two different people submerging the pad in a stock tub, on two different occasions, we could never find the any leak. So the patch kit would...

I have a Vanagon pop-top and love it. But if I am by myself and it is rainy or cold, I leave it down. For solo travel, I believe I'd have no problem at all with a tin-top. Perhaps the same for two people as well. But I have a "Weekender" interior, that is no stove, sink, etc. so really I onky...

Yeah I have a Katadyn metal-ceramic filter that my wife bought me. It will likely out-last me. And yeah, it's a work out. I don't like the weight for back backing, but if I carry only a pt. to a qt. & just filter water on the trail, more or less as needed, I'm ahead of my co-hikers carrying...

My thoughts on adding the transfer case was to provide a creeper gear. That probably isn't possible with a standard transmission, and if it is, then a rebuild is needed to install the creeper gear and you then loose one gear, because it would be so low that it would not be used, or useful, in...

Anyone ever think of adding a transfer case to get a creeper gear? I'll be adding a Syncro trans to my Vanagon. That will give me a creeper gear and a locker, since on a vanagon we say transmission, but it is really a transaxle.

Can I ride along next time? Stock or modded; CJ, JK, LC, (insert any letter designation here) or G-Wagen - I don't care. I'll spot as best as I can. I'll shoot pictures as best as I can. I'll cook and get pointers from my wife ahead of time. I'll clean the windows and check the oil and tire...

My first big trip - cross country, with my first adventure rig went over Monarch Pass as well, in 1984. The adventure "rig" had 18 speeds, as that was the most that bicycles had in the day:ylsmoke: BTW - nice looking truck surprised more people don't run vans.

Whoa, He's not stopping at Dunkin Donuts while in Mass? I wouldn't trust him! If it falls through, or he gets maimed for something like wearing a Yankee's hat, I am interested. Know plenty of people in the are to pick it up.
