Gettin ready for Kampin

Do you have an extra battery or 2 stashed in there somewhere? Nice and tidy !

Very nice!! I need to get a power inverter.

Where are you going camping????????? Since the Blue No Door went home you've got all kinds of extra time.
Why not just take the motorhome???????

2 questions; 1 Is that spare tire hard to remove? Looks awful tight under there.
2 How long have you had that Craftsman power/pak/jump starteer? Mine only lasted 2 years and it was junk. WOuld love to get input on people that have these and how long they last,what brands,etc.

Nice set up Don. Like the air bag You taking your 1st gen to AZ (swap meet)this year??

We dont often get to see the inside of ya van.Usually an oustside shot of it at a landmark or show somewhere.I like the way it all comes together for ya.But you've had a couple of decades to get it like ya want.Simple,compact,and practical.I knew you'd have a chop saw or sawzall involved some how.lol poor lil stove.Enjoy your trip,and of course take pics,even if is 'nothing'.Ya always have some interesting shots.

what about a PV panel to keep a spare battery charged? that is what I am planning for. they even make a flexible stick on variety often used on airstreams.

we have a 6kw system on our garage roof, local utility co paid for 85% of the cost. I'm hoping for a 15-30 watt for the van

The thing is, the outer wheel bearing is what holds the axle and drum on, so I look in my mirror and see my rear dual wheel sticking out a foot and I see my axle shaft. So I unload my motorcycle, drive 30 miles to Indio, buy new bearings and a cutoff wheel for my electric drill and cut that bearing off out in the Desert. I sure was a happy camper after that repair,,,,,,,,

Ouch! That would have had me calling AAA so frickin' fast...

I can attest to keeping those Jump-Its charged. I have at least 6 of them and they seem to last for years, at least until your wife leaves her cell phone charger in there for a couple weeks. There was no comin' back from that one

not to sound like a salesman but pep boys has a good deal on their peak jump starters this month , they have one that is $14.00 after a $10. rebate, the one i bought was $24. after rebate but had the tire pump built in. and yes i've gone through several, have to keep them charged or they become a brick. and donnie i've also wondered about the inside of your van, cool set up i hope for something like that with mine so i can go van camping for the weekend.

2 things...
Is that part of the tree that was connected to the stump from Hell you had?
The pic with ramps in side doors...pre restoration?

Now thats some camping trip!!

Glad it fell the right way.That coulda been real bad.
