Expediting may change but Moot is still "The Man"! Found a home at the big cat

If your home residence is in a slow area you could consider pulling a trailer to a small campground in a high freight area and rent space by the month. This could give you an alternate home base. I agree pulling it full time would not get you where you want to be. Maranatha

That is why they call them "6.NO". 7.3 was a great engine but the enviro whacks started tinkering and that is what they received. Old story "don't reinvent the wheel".

I use Tripadisor.com to get a rough idea about a property. Days Inn, Super 8, etc. vary quite a bit from location to location. I prefer Best Western overall and some Choice Hotel properties but Marriot and Hilton are good choices. The search engine on Best Western will show you the trip advisor...

I agree with about everything you said except gassers idle better. It's been my experience that gassers idling crap up and you need about 15 minutes of freeway driving before it stops acting like a thrashing machine. We idled for about 26 hours with our 7.3 and no problems. Sprinters have seem...

Is that from the old GM or the new GM ? LOL:D Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

I find that when you start to feel the engine losing rpm's or the gas pedal starts to move on hills etc. I just back off a couple of notches on the cruise one at a time or I turn the cruise off and go to manual for awhile. I consider cruise control about as important as round tires:D I have...

Does anyone have any knowledge of how the Transit or others use a rear AC? Does it interfere with the cargo area. Years ago the rear AC's we installed on hi-top vans took up quite a bit of space but the hoses connecting with the compressor ran underneath the van.

Wow!!! I knew the van was ugly same as their old van but was hoping for a change mechanically. Dodge used to slap a 5th gear onto a 4 speed manual transmission years ago to make it a five speed; however, any towing would blow the tranny shortly. Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

I was wondering if it might be better to order a new van with panels, then remove panels, insulate, then reinstall panels? At one time I used some that paper material that was shredded for insulation but there was too much settling. I believe foam board in various thicknesses seems simpliar and...

I concur, I cut the material to fit all windows. Gives privacy as well as insulation. Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

Don't know much about the Colt but had a Pinto that had over 175k whrn I sold it, our son has a Cobalt. The worst I have seen for rust was a Chevy Vega in Hawaii. I had a 53 Chevy in Guam that had to be at least 25 % plus Bondo.:D Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

Thanks! I saw those heavily rusted Sprinters and was wondering how they designed that to happen.:D Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

V 6 Penstar had horrible head problems when first out, not sure how long ago that was. I like what someone said " ltalian van by chrysler made in Mexico, what could possibly go wrong"? LOL. I will take a serious look though. I like the ladder frame chasis. As a structural engineer in the Navy...

I thought there was only 100 dealers authorized to do warranty work on Sprinters, 50 Freightliner & 50 Mercedes. Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

I found some good prices on e track at RedNeck & etrailer.com

Hopefully solved by now. Sounded more like an electrical problem. Dodge had some head problems awhile back with the V6 Penstar Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

We used to use a 12vdc cooler but it only brings down a small box 40 degrees below room temp. And when you are sitting long in a hot area it is a problem because of box temperature and a continuous 5 amp draw on coach batteries. In cool areas it will freeze stuff. Apartment style at least cutoff...

Batteries do good if you maintain them, it is the alternators that do not hold up. Sent from my SCH-i705 using EO Forums mobile app

Then it is more an apartment style made by an RV Refrigerator company. I assumed it was a absorbtion because of the price tag. You can get apartment refrigs. for a couple of hundred dollars but you do not have 12VDC capacity but you can run it off a gen. Or inverter. Used to be able to get 3 way...
