    What is this called? (RV stairs)

    I want to build a shower platform off of the back of my bus. It's about waist high though so I wanted to have a scissor action platform. I currently just put the wood platform on the ground and stand on it, but it gets muddy and I get muddy putting it away. I can't think of a better word...

    needle bearing, unit bearing, hub assembly issues....

    Backstory: So for a while now it's been pretty hard to turn my hub from free to locked. I'm no mechanic but I'm learning as I go; unfortunately I learn when things break. I've always been on my own so it's hard to see/check/find issues without having knowledge about stuff. The hub has been...

    grinding noise at high RPM?? 7.3L PSD

    As I was driving through Neveda last week I experienced some long hot inclines. At about 70 MPH at about 3k RPM and up I'd hear a grinding type noise. Sounds kind of like a ball bearing or something. I could get it to stop if I peddle it and go to a lower RPM and it would come on when I turn...

    Espar heater electrical experts chime in...

    This is just a copy of my email to Espar in hopes that maybe someone can chime in and help before I hear from them: So my heaters are installed, but now just have to be wired up. They came with no literature and the schematics online (esparofmichigan) seem to be instructions for outdated...

I'm about to mock everything up (fuel lines, coolant lines, etc.) and wanted to make sure I ordered everything that I'll need. I know some...

    Floating floor or secure it?

    So what are the advantages and disadvantages of securing a floor to the van? I'm not sure how much the body flexes and if it needs some give. I was planning on securing the cabinets to the wood floor and to the walls of the van, so it will still be pretty secure in its own right. So foam...

    any deals on full kits??

    The go power solar elite setup. $2,700. This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Is there anything out there comparable to this whole kit but cheaper? I priced it out individually and found some other brands that I'd have to piece together that wasn't that much cheaper. I'd rather...

    Storage the size of a RTT???

    I realize these are RTT's, but do they make one that size that is just storage? Just a simple hinged box? Or would I be better off finding a destroyed RTT and make it myself?

    Replacing windows with sheet metal??

    So the search didn't show anything related to this. Maybe I'm not using it accurately. Anyway, I'm trying to find a 7.3L e350 and everything i seem to find in my price range has at least ONE thing off. Either sliding door or passanger van with windows all around. Has anyone ever taken the...
