Off the road!
Just got back from a 2 month trip- 7700 miles and the van did great! PA to WV to Ontario to Colorado and back to PA, dry camping the whole time. Other than needing the brake rotors turned, the tires rotated, and the oil changed, there's really nothing I'll have to do to the van before it goes back o...

Generally unanswerable question
So here's a pretty much unanswerable question- What's the life expectancy on one of these vans? I'm wondering at what point it's "too old" to put a lot of work/money into the van. My van is a 1994 with 125k miles on it, had a new transmission about 15k ago, engine runs well, and seems to b...

I've actually pulled it most of the way out (short of disconnecting the fuel lines, etc) myself trying to see if there was anything I could do. Wasn't really much of a hassle. and I was surprised how easily it went back in too. The genset runs great, other than the two problems I mentioned, both of ...

There's really no obvious fuse on mine- and no non-obvious fuse that's obvious enough that I can find it. The circuit breaker is labeled and obvious, but no sign of any sort of fuse. It makes me wonder if, during my previous attempt to get it fixed, if they replaced the control board with the wrong ...

looks like its near ready to come completely apart... at freeway speed that could be an ugly experience I came very, very close to having that happen. Fortunately, the vibration got so bad I couldn't maintain highway speed. When I finally stopped, the tire was mostly bald, wavy, and had a few spots...

My first goal would be to see what I can do with the 12 volt realm before sizing an inverter. (For example, I have a 12 volt adapter for my laptop - it doesn't make sense to go 12 volt -> 120 volt -> 16 volts - you lose efficiency every time.) I've tried to optimize things for 12 volt, but keep run...

Tell me about inverters
So here's the deal- my generator is on the fritz- It would start and run as long as I held the start switch, but as soon as I let off the switch, it would turn off. I took it to a local shop, and they replaced the control board on the generator- now it'll start and run on it's own, but doesn't seem ...
