    Floor questions

    i used a Westin 50-6325 - 72" x 96" Bed Mat, its heavy about 75 pounds and did smell like a tire store for a few weeks. i think you could alleviate the smell quicker if you left the mat out in the sun for a few days. i planned on cutting some 1/4" x 2" plywood strips to place in the grooves in...

    Any reasons to avoid 1st gen transit connect

    I think a first gen connect would fit your needs just fine. I recently sold my 2010 connect to fund the next adventure. My take of the little transit was, I loved the ease of getting in and out. It drove like a car and the size was great for solo travel. The down side was like lqhikers said...

    4wd Astro "Patches"

    Its been awhile, Patches still exists but not much has changed. I bought a transit connect last fall on a whim and took a couple trips with it. The little transit drives great, but a bit underpowered. But I found myself missing the Astro and its 4wd. So out of guilt for neglecting my...

    ThermaCell

    the thermacell backpacker has been a great addition to my camping gear. I also bought some cheap mats off ebay that seem to work good if you can get over the "old lady" perfume smell. The only problem I had is I couldn't get it to light over 7500ft. Some have said they haven't had a problem...

    AWD Safari build (getting to ground zero)

    removing the cladding isn't bad, the double sided tape is another story. A couple pinstripe eraser wheels did the job for me.

    Small footprint fridge? Whats available?

    I recently purchased a dometic cfx28, so far has been great. Its small, sturdy, seems efficient, and when I'm not on an adventure its in my garage keeping my drinks cool running on 110 ac.

    4wd Astro "Patches"

    my vent is a fantastic fan 1200, I don't have the part numbers for the base and the lid. I just emailed rvvent.com, they seem to specialize in fantastic fan vents.. I told them I wanted a low profile base and a flat vent lid. The lower base was probably not necessary it only lowers it .75"...

    4wd Astro "Patches"

    today I installed a set of re indexed torsion keys. My torsion bar adjusters were maxed out and I want a little more height so.. Being impatient I didn't want to drive to my nearest auto parts store to borrow a torsion key unloading tool (hour round trip) so I did it the exciting way, don't...

    4wd Astro "Patches"

    so my fantastic fan roof vent has been bugging me since the day I installed it. I love the function but the proportions just didn't fit the little van, but I wasn't about to remove it over looks. Function first for me. Well I tried to load a long board on my rack and I couldn't because the...

    7.3 PSD Van Intake: To resonate, or not to resonate?

    when I had my e350 with 7.3 I removed the resonator and plugged the intake. I did it so I could have some better access to the engine. I cant say I noticed if it made any power difference. And I don't know if it made a difference in sound as the old girl had lots of noises at over 800,000...
