Lots of solar panels and you do have the roof space. more batteries too
going by what the owner of that van said....
I think people just convert them, I don't recall seeing anything beyond AWD as Doc points out.
pink foam board with a veneer or veneer with an expanding foam backing for insulation.
When I was full timing it in my toyhauler I had to run propane and electric heat in order to keep it a comfortable temp inside. no amount of insulation or prep would have changed that. I have since upgraded to a coach with artic basement and ceiling insulation rating and heated floors. Traditional RV's are built so poorly that I wasnt happy with any of mine during the winter until I swapped over to a used coach.
I want to be able to look outside. More then often I am not there. I need a system to be independent. The platform I have is not capable of this. There will be no down to zero for me here. Every surface seems to conduct cold. It's the very nature of its construction. It is what it is.... I had to dispatch Mrs Raccoon today. Very unpleasant for me. I really do not enjoy killing things...
Lowest we went in ours was 15 below. Reflectix over the windows, 2" foam board under the floors. Luckily we had shore power and ran a small space heater. Stayed in the 50s inside, which is honestly more comfortable to me.
That would have flipped on its side west of Laramie on 80 a week ago
Thank you.
maybe display the dispatched raccoon
Good idea. Thanks...
Astros did come in AWD, just not solid front axle. Have a buddy that had one of those Tigers on an AWD Astro, it was awesome and terrible at the same time. We managed to drive it for most of the length of Gemini Bridges Road in Moab to get in and out of a campsite back in the day, it did fine-ish.
I've never met a camper owner who never had any problems. Focus on the awesome and deal with the bullshit. There are tradeoffs but they're worth it - unless you ended up with a total lemon, in which case you can just get a different one.
so I bought a cheap riverside retro camper. The screws came loose on the heater. That was it. The thing just never really has any problems or faults. I bought it brand new back in 2014 or 15 I think. Sold it during the pandemic for 2k less than purchase price. Probably coulda got more. I only bought a door holder open thing I broke, a tube of caulking, propane and batteries for it. Took it well over 30k miles. Absolutely amazing.
Oh, absolutely, and I knew it going into it. Actually, Junkyard made me feel much better because I've always wanted an Airstream and was kinda bummed that financial responsibility is a thing and I went with the Apex I could pay cash for and tow with my current truck and park in my current driveway, nice to know they're still a PITA so it's not like I'd be saving any headaches.
That was my goal.
They ate it, the babies too. They left this morning. Quiet again.

A city in Indiana full of stoners, pregnant skanks, party animals, meth-fueled trailer trash, and Mexicans. Basically your run-of-the-mill shithole town that was once something important.www.urbandictionary.com
I didn't do anything except play Black Sabbath really loud one night.
