    Van A/C without a generator?

    I am just out of the business and have a 8,000 watt portable ac unit that I ran off a Honda 2000 generator with a 5 gal backup can with feed hose. I have the swing away trailer with tire for easy moving. I also have the cable lock. The carrier is also padded with rubber to keep noise down. I...

    How many miles on your Promaster

    I believe I am st the starting point with my van. Right now, I can get rolling with a restart, but I do not have the time, money, or patience to deal with this, especially if I am headed down the road you are on. Nobody should have to deal with all these issues with a new vehicle. I hate the...

    How many miles on your Promaster

    I had to pull over at least 8-10 times from Texarkana to Laredo for the same thing, jumping out of gear. Mine has 105,000 on it. I took it to Laredo Dodge after my drop on Tuesday morning. They told me they could not get me in until next Monday. Stayed there, because I didn't want to try...

    How many miles on your Promaster

    I don't say or think anything negative when I'm driving her. I just rub the dashboard and tell her how much I love her. By the way, my generator is pulling from the reserve tank. My life is good right now. Be back out there next Friday.

    How many miles on your Promaster

    I bought my new 2014 deisel one year ago also. I have just over 60,000 miles because I have been broke down so much. A module on my first run, then it happened again on my third run, which they replaced it that time. Emergency brake blew up, three weeks for that repair and had to fight them...

    One Step Closer to Self-Driving Trucks (Video)

    If anyone has been to India, then you might have an idea of what is taking place here. The wealthy, who run this country, unless you still believe the people do, have seen how India's structure works. You have the extreme wealthy, then you have poverty. No middle class to speak of. You...

    POLL How Do You Keep Warm?

    Up to 8 or more hours. The 20 lb tank lasts quite awhile. Don't use it everynight, not quite sure how long a tank is good for. I have window vents that allow me to lower my windows about three inches

    Cargo Van 2016 Dodge Promaster

    Check out Euro Campers. They have additional parts for our vans that don't exist in the states, like great screened window visors that let in air, but keep out the rain, and only $100 for the pair.

    Deadheaded from Laredo to Brownsville, then after sitting three days, was told they could not help me down there and to head to Dallas. Ended up in Houston at the Flying J off I-10. Only over 500 or so deadhead miles, not bad huh. RIGHT

    Sitting all day at the Pilot in Charlotte on Statesville, I met a driver with Hana Express who drove the same van as mine. Ken has been out here for three years and gave me a bunch of needed info about this business and about my van. If I have to sit and wait, this was the best way to do it...

    Sitting for two days at the Honda Pilot in Lincoln, Alabama. First time back out since being out of service for the holidays. Only one bid so far with no call back. I guess this is the time of year when you see if you are cut out for this. Not sure where I would head anyways, hopefully west...
