If you were wondering what the benefit of driving with a big tailwind and drafting behind an 18 wheeler was... How about 25+ mpg.... I'll post full numbers when I get back home this weekend. Posting from my iPhone sucks. I the only problem I have with drafting behind trucks (which I do sometimes, p...

very impressive mileage, the best I've been able to do it 20.3 mpg, and usually averaging between 17-19

Great drawings, J Henry, inspirational, even! Has anyone had a better idea for propane and house battery location? I have been leaning towards a barn-door vehicle, with the spare mounted outside on the door. This frees up some room where the spare used to be, for a house battery or two, and a propa...

thanks, i'll give it a try, I hate starting my van with the headlights on, and when I pull over to the side of the road, I'ld like to be able to sit there without my lights on, without turning the engine off.... pushing the dome light four times does work, but I have to do it everytime I start the ...

thanks, i'll give it a try, I hate starting my van with the headlights on, and when I pull over to the side of the road, I'ld like to be able to sit there without my lights on, without turning the engine off....

does anyone or everyone (except me) know how to turn them off...... if I want the lights on, I can turn the switch myself..... or is there just a separate fuse to pull?

body looks pretty good from the photo's, once the engine done and back in, he should be good for a bunch of years (or until something better catches his eye, at which time he can sell his 94 to some one on this sight... freshly rebuilt motor is a great selling feature) there's a shop here near Cleve...

needs some raised white lettered tires to set off the black (I saw somewhere, where someone used stencils and made his own, but don't remember where......)

interesting to say the least.... myself, I hate the super low profile wheels... I want a bunch of rubber between me and the road, but that's just me.... to each they're own (i guess)

glad I moved up to a 2000 but looking forward to a 2005 or 2006 in a couple/few years. four wheel disc brakes....eh,

High mileage is fine with me!! I'll actually purchase fleet maintained high mileage cars. Around here the ones to look for are from AEP. (American Electric Power) They're nitorious for maintaining there cars maticiulously. My 02 Astro had a lot of miles on it when I got it from AEP and I've now got...

the rear brake shoes on my wife's Mercury Villager (Nisson Quest) squeal something terrible, anytime it's rained the day before or over night, and any time it sits for more than a day or two.... just learned to ignore it... nice to hear that, that isn't always the only option.... my tow truck buddy ...

I had similar idea's about a high top astro conversion that i sold not too long ago, my Someday 2BRV, I had stripped a couple rvs for parts and still have some of the items (sinks, counter top, 3/4" folding bed frame - from behind the drivers seat to the back doors.) some pictures of stuff on m...

a couple more tanks..... still hitting between low to mid 19's....... still a mix between city and highway driving....
