    using a larger generator

    As much as I'd really like to use one of the slimmer, lower profile generators like the small Hondas or Honeywells, the cost is just too high. I may have to go with the bigger kind, the ones mounted in the frame. I'm not crazy about the idea, but I may have to resort to that, being that they...

    Diagnosing AC problem

    My AC works intermittently. Generally, it works while idling, but when I drive above a slow, city-traffic speed, it shuts down. Sometimes it'll start again after 45 minutes or so of highway driving. Then, when I park, sometimes it'll quit and it may take me an hour to get it working again. I...

    setting up my new van

    After having expedited in STs and TTs, this is my first foray into the world of CVs. I've been in one for a few days now and I'm learning of things I need to do to the van to increase my comfort level. One, I can't stand sleeping lengthwise in the van. I need to sleep cross-ways, like in a...
