Cont. Getting out

On the previous post you saw the simple framing system , the building of half the boot jump as I wanted it to be able to use as a single or a double and a by product of getting older is getting weaker so 2 pieces it will be . You can see the bed platform hinged out  and the plywood has been quickly sanded and clear coated to prevent staining and slivers . The next pictures will show the next section which is storage and you will notice the open back where the potty is stored. A picture of…

Cont. Getting out

It seems this will take a few posts as I learn the blog system.                                                                   Pulling the van home the first thing was to double check the fuel system and change the fuel pump .I had never changed an electric fuel pump prior to this , bought a used repair manual and did it . Once running I inspected the complete vehicle to see if it would be the one ,and it was . A very thorough cleaning was next in and out afterwards it started looking…

Of Course Getting out camping and traveling can be affordable

This post will relive a project of making a camper van for under $1000. As with all of my projects the intent is to show you can do it and not brake the bank. The first requirement is to find a vehicle worthy of the effort . I look for a privately owned vehicle with maintenance records requiring a repair . The vehicle I found was a 1995 dodge caravan, only 2 owners and both used the same repair shop and they showed me all the repairs and maintenance since new . The seller couldn't get it to…

Movin movin movin...

I dont know if i can add pictures here so will send into my photo page... the KC made a 30ish mile trip into the nearest town for some assistance. Of cource people who offer to help for only gas money dont always show up when they say. I am not ready to tow the KC until more work is done, i just get too nervous for unfounded reasons. I was sort of expecting a truck to come Monday at 8 am. He actually came at 9 pm last nite (Wed)...and a bit unprepared - did you know that i live off-grid,… Continue

uprogress

Finally - after shoveling out sand and crap from the desert...my rescued 1959 Kencraft TT will be moving into town for some real help...my auto mechanic pals are letting me put her in the back lot where we can have easier access to tools, supplies and guys who tinker!

I have yet to sell my camperized 1994 Classic Chevy Van - lovingly refered to as Vantucket. If anyone is interested im lowering the price to $2600..she needs to be on the road and is ready to rock n roll!

Master cylinder gasket needed

I have a 1977 Airstream motor home based on a Chevy P 30 chassis with all four wheel disc barkes. I need a master cylinder gasket. Its not the same gasket or master cylinder typically used on a rear drum set up, Its much larger. the gasket has Bendix 2228633 stamped on it. It measures 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. Very large master cylinder fluid tanks.  I can not find it at any big box auto parts stores. Does anyone here have one or a source ?
