Thanks Turtle and Ontario, I know I am a ways out from this undertaking (have about 5 years till I hit my 20 year mark) But I like to learn as much as I can before getting into anything. The information you guys share is invaluable to someone like me and I thank you for it. In the short...

WOW!! Um that is a very good reason to not go that route, truly an electrician I am not. Thank you for the very informative explanation. :o

Turtle, In your experience/opinion would you recommend starting out in this business in a sprinter or a cargo van? I realize everyone has there preference, but if I remember correctly you had a ford first then went to the sprinter. With that knowledge and if you could start over...

I'm not an electrician by any means but it appears to me that unit is meant for use while the truck is in operation and the batteries are being recharged "if you will". My limited knowledge of such things tells me running this one off of batteries solely is gonna take a lot of batteries. :o

Turtle, I was looking over the Camping World site, and saw they have many a selection of roof mounted A/C units that run on 115 AC. My question is, could one of those work with the right battery pack and inverter set up? Some even have a heat strip that can be added as well. Thanks...

I am from PA originally and was looking to retire there as well. I'm from the Bedford county area but also have family in Chambersburg. As a vet I'll have my own health insurance which will come in handy by not having to pay for that plus my pension, will be nice. My wife is a nurse...

Do you have to live in Ohio to sign on with DeMaris?

Looking over the drivers wanted ads on the site, I am wandering how or who will hire a fellow who is getting started in the business? That is to say, how does one get experience? I have read several post saying don't buy a van right off but start as a driver first, but most of the ads are...

I also have another question, (look what you guys did you got me started:rolleyes:) has anyone seen the domestic vans outfitted by Maxx Automotive in the business? Here are some pics! Maxx Automotive Corporation - UltraMaxx - TerraMaxx - Photo Gallery

Thanks Big Al, and yes I have had more that a few 24 to 36 hour days getting the job done so the fighters can go off the pointy end. I enjoy a little urgency when I'm working keeps me on point. I have a question and I hope it doesn't stir up a hornets nest, who is a good company to sign on...

Do you find that offering that might possibly generate repeat calls to haul for them?

I'm a composite technician in the Navy, I truly enjoy the work, but the higher I go in rank the farther from the hands on I become. Kinda takes the fun outta things for me. :( But I enjoy driving, and seeing new places so this line of work kinda appealed to me, I realize as with anything...

Slo-Ride, Well my roots are on the road, my Dad is a 37 year vet of hauling coal and steel, O/O. He retired in 1998, but as a boy I spent many a weekend helping with the maintenance of his KW. And occasionally would go along with him. I fell in love with the lifestyle. But life has a...

Brisco, I am an aviation structural mechanic, we maintain the the air crafts skin, flight control surfaces, hydraulic system, landing gear, and wheels. So I know a bit about preventive maintenance in a very harsh environment. Controlled crashes on the flight deck of a carrier takes it's...

Re: Rev's Ride 5 Great looking rig, if I may ask how did you attach the ends of the bed to the sides of the van? Is there a inner wall of sorts to the body? Thanks for your time.

Hello All, As I read threw the threads on this site, it seems expedite work with a cargo van can be a challenge, and rewarding at the same time. I am looking towards this as a job after I retire from the Navy. I've traveled the world, now it's time to travel my country. :o I enjoy all...
