This forum rocks. It's full of guys driving around in (white) VANS, and it's attracting women!

Jen your fiance is a lucky man

Welcome to the site!
You'll find lots of great advice for getting your van camping ready,as well as general maint. tips.
Hope you'll share some pics of your trip to Alaska! Truly makes me jealous! Hope someday to tour the Western US ,British Columbia, & North into Alaska! My buddies made this same adventure many years ago,but in a '78 full size Chevy van. :cheers:

Welcome Jennifer and a couple of thoughts for you.

1st a tranny cooler is probably the best bang for the buck.

2nd shop manuals for your vehicle: GMC if at all possible.

Good Luck

How many posts does it take to lose the "I merely drive my van" tag? It's really irking me because I plan to basically live out of it.
