It was a matter of time. I wanted something bigger than my RB E250 (though it's not going anywhere), I had money, just waiting for the stroke of luck or stupidity to roll around. That happened a bit before 5PM yesterday. The short list was school bus, ambulance, or shuttle bus. I preferred...

Got a tentative ok from the wife, shopping time. Looking at light (Ford E-series cutaway based) and medium (International, Freightliner, etc.) duty at the moment. Ideally a DT466 or 7.3L engined, recently decommissioned unit in or around the pacific northwest. I'm fine with a fly and drive...

Shopping for a top for my RB 4th gen Econoline, the junkyards are light right now but another member on here (Shenrie) found a couple RB 3rd gen tops. Neither of us knew if they would swap over. Anyone try it before? While we're talking about it, any interchangeability between brands?

I've been waffling between a dual battery setup and a Goal Zero Yeti or something similar for a bit now. The pendulum swung back towards the Yeti this week and I've been researching it and alternatives. I had seen the Anker Powerhouse earlier this spring and was hoping they'd be a nicely...

So I had a little freak out last night after perusing some of the completed and in progress expedition threads and realizing that I need to get my act together. There's a kid in my future (luckily not in progress yet, but I can only delay so long) and I have not had a proper chance to enjoy my...
