    ISO: Vehicle Transport Company - USA East Coast to Texas

    Thanks vintageracer. I will reach out to her Driving it the distance would not be a problem IF I had confidence the truck would make it.. (I'd do it myself, toss in some food, sleep in the back and it would be a relaxing few days..) I originally dropped it off at a shop to find a fuel leak by...

    ISO: Vehicle Transport Company - USA East Coast to Texas

    Thanks Clymber, I sent off a message to them. Let's see what happens.. it's the dilemma of doing it soon, before gas prices climb higher..or waiting, and paying more for fuel .. or just setting it on fire. :)

    Rise of the Adventure Toaster

    I have a window a/c mounted in one of the compartments. I want to see if I can run it off the solar... and I want to keep the installation cheap and simple, at this point. :)

    Rise of the Adventure Toaster

    Regarding your slide-out solar panel idea.. I have seen that a few different ways, and there is a youtube video with pneumatic actuators too.. I am changing the panels on the top of my E350 ambulance to several 250 watt residential panels I got a deal too good to pass on. My idea, which may...

    Practical barbecue grill solutions?

    I have a well worn 'portable' kettle-style charcoal grill. BUT the key for me is the accumulated cast iron plates, grates, griddles and pans I have picked up along the way. When done cooking and things have cooled off.. I toss the parts back in the grill. (Self-contained camp kitchen piñata)

    I have a 5000 btu window unit in one of the side compartments of my ambulance.. with the exhaust vented to the outside through vents in the door. I found separating the area by the fan helps A LOT That part of the a/c that usually hangs out of the window uses the fan to draw air over the...

    Ambulance Appraisal & Insurance Claim Help

    Sorry this happened.. was the other vehicle a commercial vehicle registered to a company? Don't know how much it will help in the end, but when I was speaking with my agent about insuring my old 94 e350, which has negligible book value, he told me to save EVERY receipt. So maybe collect all...

    Opinions on Block Heater replacement.. 400watt vs 1000 watt

    Doesn't the idi have a heater in the fuel bowl? There is a wire loop around the top of the fuel filter head.. (between the filter and the mount) that was designed to heat the fuel.. (in theory)
