    Buddy Heater/Fantastic Fan

    And I am going to get a larger, taller van. Just don't want a Sprinter and not a fan of Dodge. When the Ford comes out I'll be there waiting with a check in hand. I certainly wasn't trying to say anything negative about anyone else's setup. Good Bye

    Buddy Heater/Fantastic Fan

    I finally went and got the Espar. I'll never own a van again without one. Makes it so easy to sleep. Push the button, run inside for 10-15 minutes, come out and jump into a warm cargo box. Just like home, set temp at 72 and never need to think about it all night. Cycles between the different...

    Anyone know how much it is to replace a starter on a Sprinter?

    About the same amount as buying a used GM or Ford CV. LOL. Sorry, it just came out.

    What would you do?

    You are correct, that's total vans from all carriers on the board. He just got a paid move to Dallas. I personally don't think that will improve his situation. And he is driving a fleet owners van, so he has a bit less control over what he decides to do.

    Newb needs some truck advice (pertaining mainly to reliability).

    I just bought this. Do you think it will hold 3 skids?

    Frozen locks

    I think Home Depot sells matched sets of locks and can also rekey any locks you purchase to use the same key.

    Runs to Alaska

    As a CV driver I've been offered an Alaska run several times. Each time something prevented me from taking the run. Every time they offered, it was paid DH back to Seattle only. Basically the closest city in the lower 48.

    I've had my best luck with Priceline. Try for one near a college with a pool and hot tub.

    I went Milwaukee to Winnipeg, Fargo to San Francisco, San Francisco to Moab UT, Denver to Bayard NM and now Dallas to Seneca SC. I'd get a room if I wasn't going home after this drop! This is day 16 on the road in a CV. I rarely stay out this long. I think this is the longest I've ever...

    High Top Cargo

    You can buy cheap backup cameras for under $100 and backup sensors that detect objects for under $50. Like what the better new cars have mounted in the rear bumpers. Beeps quicker the closer you get to an object. I've seen people wire the backup cameras to go on with the key so they work like...

    It always depended on what your week was like. If you ran hard and made money, you deserve the room. Always great to have all that space after vanning all week. The climate control, cable tv, nicer shower, big bed and wifi are real pleasures after a hard high mileage week.
