I don't know how long it would take to recharge this via the solar cells. May not be do-able. But the zero fumes, zero noise part sure looks attractive. http://www.herringtoncatalog.com/t578.html

Not very, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-64XzNYh5eI&feature=youtube_gdata_player -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

The headlights I recently replaced were on the van since I've had it--about two years. I've been expecting them to go out, but they wouldn't. I wanted to replace them because they didn't provide much light. Any time somebody passed me, their lights were so much brighter than mine. So after...

Can a lighter/power plug handle 15 amps? What's the limit for the typical outlet? -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Is there an equivalent to the Espar for AC? Something that sips gas from the tank to run AC? 2012: Ron Paul or not at all. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

I hope this picture is high enough quality. Saw this sign in a truckstop. I don't know nearly enough about this to seperate fact from fiction. Opinions? -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

I understand that propane can power refrigerators and air conditioners in addition to heaters. If propane makes sense to use for heat in a van, why not use it to power all three? A guy I know raised his bed and put a fridge underneath. So why not do that and have the fridge, 2 tanks, and either...

I'm leaking something from my van, slightly to the passenger side of center. I can't "catch" it leaking, so I'm having trouble tracking it down. I put my finger in it, and it looks clear, but has a slight odor to it of something petroleum-based, but I can't tell if that's from the liquid itself...

Not driving a big truck anymore, this won't apply to me today, but you never know about the future. I saw someone on a ship coat a tank stick with prefer of some sort prior to sticking it so they could easily read the depth of the fuel by sering how much powder remained on the stick. The powder...

Has anyone tried those after-market big truck privacy curtains in a cargo van? Sure, there might be an excess of material, but that can always be remedied. I've never been able to make it as dark as I like inside when I'm sleeping.

Read on an email list that if your air pressure drops below 60 PSI, your AC dies completely. The couple who posted said their dog died of heat stroke after that happened to them. Also, some of the AC lines are routed behind the front bumper, so if you go through some heavy snow in the winter, it...

If I'm going to replace my back tires, and I have to, considering I lost one last night, is there anything I should keep in mind? Do you lose much MPG going with all-season back there?

When my owner put this van on the road, the carrier installed plywood in the cargo area, as you might expect. He told us it would probably last a few months before we'd have to put a different sheet in. Well, it lasted over a year, about 16 months, actually, and just got ripped out today when a...

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more Stanley 2500 Watt, 3250 Surge Watt Portable Handheld Generator with 25 ft. Cord - G3250S at The Home Depot I don't see any reference to either being an inverter generator, but I could just put an inverter...

My van always drops a puddle of water out the tail pipe. There's also some water that always leaks from the undercarriage. I've put my finger in both and smelled them, and it's water. The last Chevy Express I drove did the same thing in both spots. It's kind of annoying. Someone suggested...

I talked to a guy yesterday who says he runs a 1500/3000 inverter in a Chevy van. Said something about the Big 3 upgrade, said that would make it possible. I did a little research into the Big 3 upgrade, which involves replacing the puny, insufficient wiring in standard vehicle electrical...

Had a lunchpail heater in the past, before a codriver broke it and wouldn't even admit it. Got a little tired of the limited repertoire, though. I mean, there's beef stew, and ravioli, corned beef hash...and beef stew, and ravioli, and corned beef hash... If I was adventurous, I'd swap the...

Convert a lawn mower into a generator! These are plans to convert a lawnmower engine to a generator. Might this be cheaper than buying an expensive generator? Maybe build it inside a PVC frame?

Years ago, there used to be a product, don't know what it was called, that would plug into your cigarette lighter and warm the inside of your passenger car or pickup just enough so snow, freezing rain, or frost would melt from your windshield if it was parked overnight. I guess keeping the...
