    Where do you CV drivers sleep during this polar vortex cold weather?

    OK, got the van high top and was wondering about this. Will need to get something temporary up for curtains...both behind the seats, and between me and freight area. What is the W X L of those pads Murray? Got the double buddy heater, so we'll be fine until I can get this thing done right. Got...

    Marijuana = alcohol

    To that end, I get a little tired of these victimless crimes. It's a theme running throughout the founders documents, and want for true liberty. If you've harmed no one, and their is no victim.....there should be no charge. Jury's used to acquit over these things. Put the THC in pill form, and...

    **WARNING to new contractors*****

    Always bad to name names on an open forum IMHO. That's what PM is for, and in my limited time here, some PM's have been answered to the positive, some negative. Hate to see drivers get with bad owners out there. However, the forum is a place to ask, while researching and gathering answers to...

    What's with the box truck in pic 1? Looks like some of the yellow ones, we've all seen. Riding a little low? Or could it be a typical NY sunken street? You chose Espar over Webasco. Any reason? Just curious...

    cargo van weight limit?

    I agree. The original scale ticket can b a little light on fuel, or items. If the load approaches the max weight, don't mind filling the tank 1/2-3/4 for the run. Gets more showers......:D

    Let's sneak a little sideshow in here? The ole "what's a topic" gig, but somewhat related? Looking at Espar and Webasto heaters. Thinking about just putting this in the van, and getting it over with. On the Webasto site right now and they have a dealer in Fenton MI I'm going to call. Any...

    Disappearing Industry

    What's the average tax you pay each year? State, Fed, Local? How many laws do you try to avoid breaking in week? Be honest now Ragman. :D Do you own your home? Even if it's paid off? How much usury do you pay each year? Money out of thin air, and you pay interest? How many...

    Escaped out of VA this morning. Ran about 3 hours in the mess, then clear and sunshine to N Ohio. Will be out Xiggi way tomorrow. Got to rent a car and go pick up a van on Staten Island. Pleasure trip, no logs, and no time limit. :cool:

    Disappearing Industry

    There is no point. Plenty of evidence under the ole "National Security" archives, and "sealed" for 50 year files. One can generally deduce what happened to a certain degree, by what did not happen. And in almost every case, where I would argue....that story don't wash. Put another...

    Marijuana = alcohol

    Medical benefits are numerous. Can't have that..... Industrial uses are near unlimited. Can't have that... Helping dispatch, debatable, and......Can't have that. If one does the research to learn why it was actually outlawed, it's an interesting read for sure.

    Disappearing Industry

    Well, maybe one can explain why the meeting even took place? Be a good place to start IMO. I agree that proving guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt is crucial for official verdict. All evidence being weighed to those ends....should be weighed with an open mind. Too many people start the trial by...

    The War on Poverty---yea right

    I know, and was not targeting KY. We have em in MI, as do all states. Have little doubt as well......someone knows the camera needs a convincing lens. We found the shoe thing more amusing, than offensive. It's just kinda funny. Beer boxes, trash bags, Hardee's....along the road, not so funny...

    The War on Poverty---yea right

    Figured might hear from KickStart. :D Ya, I targeted Berea for a few weeks, and the surrounding area. We then grabbed a few things and headed down there. Wife was a whisker away from landing a job at the Welcome Center, but with MI license still in hand, it was a long shot. We really liked the...

    The War on Poverty---yea right

    What struck me first....poverty doesn't mean you have to live like that. Been down on my luck more than once, paycheck to paycheck, sardines and tuna, etc. But no matter where I laid the head down.....it was clean, and tidy. It is sad to see what's happening to the lower class, as the middle...

    Now that was a humorous pic. Moved from south VA to almost PA. Hope to escape tomorrow AM before it hits, and will be right on the edge. Escape route, North.

    cargo van weight limit?

    Ya, leave it to me for bringing up the dead. Some good specifics in the ole archives.....so it was time to say a few geejahs, and bring em back to life. Kabuki theater around here sometimes anyway.....:p

    Mixing Battery Types

    Didn't make that clear, I'm still in the TerraMax and it came with the 2000 Inverter already set up. I drilled a small hole in the base of the wall, ran the proper gauge wire through, and then affixed the plug. I then ran a power strip off that extension from inverter, which I plug my current...

    cargo van weight limit?

    Probably what I'll do, but just curious to the feedback. Funny how that works...the 3 skid loads kinda come in a little wave. Noticed that myself. With the height being a disadvantage, better stay with the three skids. I set the TerraMax up, whereby the bed is split, folds up to both sides...
