SnowT

Here is the Pic of My Old Panel van. Juergen

have to do a quick pop in.. - A Furnace?? In most cases I personally don't need a heater.. unless I go to the snow. Mmm the Snow.. I spent about 40+ days' one ski [snowBoard] season camped in the back of a Panel Van. - Parked in the Over night Parking area by night. - Parked in the Day Park Zone by day. - If in need of a Shower I would sneak into the largest Hotel's Swimming Pool area have a shower then go to their Market area and get basic supplies if I was running late. The only heat I had was the time I ran the car/van in the morning to go to the Day Park Area.. and when I shifted at night. Yes I did wake up a few morning and found the car/van covered in fresh snow..[Natures insulation]. Worst Dump was 12inches and it took me about 40min to dig out and another to get up to the day park area. As I said 40day's Plus. Apparently there is a fair bit of space underneath, and that is where I'll be hiding a heap of stuff. One of the thing's I need to try to work out is can I install a Black Water Tank..[to increase length of boondock/free camp'n] otherwise it's 20lt max from a portapotty. SnoW Aka Juergen Psst Tried to add a photo of my Panel Van But it's way 2 Big.

IF and I do mean if you can get access to the internals of the contact's, a good clean of the contact surface will remove the excess carbon. As an Electrician it is one of the minor repair/maintenance duty we had to do. And yes, excess carbon can be a pain to deal with. Juergen

Ok here goes.. In Australia due to our licensing law's, to drive anything bigger than a 7.5m long 4.5t vehicle, you need to have a higher grade of License. To drive something the size of the Class A you actually need to have a Heavy Truck License. So to get around this the biggest Vehicle is a mini bus or a large van. < 7.5m Long < 4.5T < 12 Seats The Way I plan to get around this is to buy a Toyota Coaster LWB- they are a 22 seat Mini bus.. Remove all the seat's I don't need. I'm planing to leave 4 legal seat's [including the Driver's, All with seat belt's] I have included a few copies/photo's of the general look of the Bus I plan to get. The fitout is going to be fun. In general: - Sleeping for 2-3 people. - Shower/toilet. - Basic Cooking facilities. - Storage for Gear. - Battery/mains power system [ 12v or 24v Battery system..] Solar system. - 12/24vdc//240vac Fridge. The Plan's in general are in flux... This is the design stage.. Juergen Psst I plan to hit other topics for information.. I know that it is an Australian build and something's are different, but generally the basis is the same.

Hi new to Forum's, planing and Doing a heap of reading on RV's and Truck's.. One of the issue that I have been doing a heap of reading on is the economic of driving large RV's/truck's over distance.. I'm not sure if you have come across this site.. http://www.airflowtruck.com/ Well I did and some of the ideas that has been posted here sound very Good.. So the Question is... Has anyone replaced or seen an RV that has replaced the original RV dual rear tires with a Super Single tire.??. Juergen Psst I would Love to see a Large RV on the Road that uses the above mentioned design..
