Aluminum Flashing & Licencing Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Added Aluminum flashing to my custom recessed stove after reading comments from yesterday. I'm also sharing my struggles with getting the van road-legal for travel remotely so far from my homestate.
You planning on heading straight back to the West Coast? Any plans on traveling North on the East Side and visiting New England?
i too am hoping that Eric will drive up the east coast, however it appears that he is anxious to get home understandably
I challenge all of my fellow nomadic fanatic fans. Lets show Eric what we are made of!!!! I want us to raise $5ooo before the end of this month. Lets get this boy off to a good start with his new rig!!!! I made a donation of $200 yesterday and pledge $200 more before the end of the month. Lets get r done !!!! Utah Willy
You have lost your mind if you want to give 5000 go right ahead
***** LOL
Wardner He is not that smart
europa312 Best joke ever Eric with a job
LOL
I want to learn about RV's and RV systems. I will be living in an RV by the end of this year. I will do it on my own, no gifts, no hand outs. If you're not self sufficient you're not doing it and not living it.
Actually, you could have gotten a temporary tag in the State of Georgia, as it was originally from Georgia.. Although it sounds like you got the problem solved anyway :-)
You are correct. That's what I thought he was going to do.
Very true.
Lucky you don't live in Calif. You would need a smog inspection before title transfer.
Regarding the aluminum flashing, if you were to put some wood trim over the edge of the flashing on the countertop surface, it would prevent you getting scratched/bloody on any sharp edges and, if you spill something while cooking it will keep it on the flashing and not running over the edge. Looking forward to seeing the roof water system modifications.
Dude, you got all of this stuff free...stop crying. You need to just kick back and enjoy the ride...
He'll yeah
mr magoo You must be new here.
Where ever you are when registration issues come up, find a local car dealer. They know how to deal with these problems. They do this every day.
***** Actually you bring up a good point. Dealers down in Florida go directly with your licensing state and simply look up the figures in that state and make it happen. I know this because of the purchase I almost made. He had it all figured out.
For a non customer? Really? in Florida? Please!
ParrotSailor
They wont do it for nothing but they are a great source of information. My wife does this for a living in Florida.
Your wife registers out of state cars in Florida for a living? What does she charge?
ParrotSailor
I'm not offering a service here...I'm letting one person know where to look no matter where he is to get these things done. Dealers can do this nation wide rite in their office.
Jax is so cute!!!! Thanks for the info about FL's DMV. I'll be getting my camper in about 2 weeks from Florida. I, too had trouble with them and I called my insurance company who advised me as long as the vehicle is "attached" to my insured car, I am insured and can use my plates and be covered. When I get to SC I will be able to get my plates from our DMV. I love your aluminum covering, but I think the diamond steel would look more you. BTW I fixed my reply thing on Google+, per DougDubya. Thanks for the feedback. ; )
Eric keep your spirits up. Just think in 2 days you will be able to do whatever you want, You wont have to worry about your plates or insurance. Just keep doing whatever work you want to do on the van till then and the 2 days will fly past. Like I always say don't worry about responding, just keep up the videos. I enjoy watching them. I don't understand the American system to do things as I live in the UK and we do things a lot differently and easier. You don't have plates for each place in the UK you just have UK number plates. All you have to do to get insurance is register the Van, which you can do on the internet and you can get the insurance on the internet in a matter of mins.
johnny prothero each state has different laws here so its a nightmare in the USA for vehicles if you are from a different state lol
I said in my Statement I am from the UK and it is different here.
johnny prothero Actually, to make a complete comparison you should not look at the UK, but at the EU. And in the EU, just like in the USA, each country/state does its own vehicle licensing (same in Canada for each province). And you know how politicians and bureaucrats wants things their way and don't want any federal body to tell them what to do. And that's why in the US and Canada the systems developed separately and differently, and in the EU they never harmonized the systems that existed before the EU was founded.
+John S You are so right, I was looking up RV and campers and the UK is way ahead of the USA, I was even thinking of going over there to buy one.
I agree with Johnny. Keep your spirits up. Everyone here at home (haven't put up videos yet of it) has been telling me stuff like "You can't live in that!" when I tell them I'll be in a tiny 14' travel trailer for a month or two before getting a bigger RV. HAHA! They have no clue. Not only "can" I do it, I'm "going" to do it and am actually looking forward to it! :) It's a long story, but anyway. Please keep the videos coming. All the people I watch on here are giving me ideas for my upcoming RV life every day.
what a pile of BS to register a vehicle! here in the uk it takes 2 mins to do and 3 days later you have a logbook (ownership papers in your name) job done. licence plate stays with the vehicle so less hassle there. curious what "the title" is?
I thought you had blanket insurance? Insurance that covered whatever vehicle you are driving.
WOW what a mess! yeah California is like that. they will not let you register your car until you show proof of insurance.
***** One thing insurance companies usually don't tell you is that if your vehicle is totaled YOU can purchase the "salvage", which would be deducted from whatever they were going to give you for the totaled vehicle. Then you can have the repairs done and continue to drive the vehicle.
Glad you got your Wa plates, Eric. I had the same problems with Oregon. There's another easy way. I've plated a car in South Dakota without being a resident, without a SD driver's license, without insurance, and without me or the car even being in the USA. I know hundreds of people and their cars who have never physically been in SD who have SD plates in Mexico. If anybody has Eric's same problem with a new vehicle, or an expired plate, contact me. SD is RV and traveler friendly.
Hi. I have been looking into this issue myself. I was told however that upon moving to SD from elsewhere, you have to remain in the state for 6 months before you can be considered a resident and hence get your plates and license. Is this true? Here in Prescott Arizona, I often see SD plates running around the area. A couple of days ago, I saw two motorcyclists with SD plates. They might have been towed here from an RV, don't know. I have also considered going to FL to use the system much like SD. The only other state I am aware of is TX.
Alright, thanks for the info.
Eric, I'm a little surprised that you thought dealing with paperwork for the purchase of an out-of-state vehicle would be easy. I challenge you to come to New York City and go to the DMV on a Monday morning. As a matter of fact, I'm on line now. By the time you get back to Washington, I should be finished. LOL! Good luck with everything :-)
NoProGoPronto ; 😂
oh well,in a week's time you and gorgeous Jax will be on the road doing what you do.Jax looks so happy that I'm going to go to bed where my 7kg Timothy's waiting,grab little Kitty and cuddle up for the night with my 2 hot furry waterbottles and dream of us 3 on the road.The van looks great...mate:)nite
You know what your battle with licensing paperwork accomplishes, don't you? Bureaucratic job security! LOL
Jax was trying to comfort you by chirping at you and head bonking you. He knows youre stressed, and chirping is more comforting than meowing. Let him do what he knows to do!
Just get a Florida license and have it registered there. At least you can get your registration anywhere you are. You also don't need a state inspection sticker. As Florida is an RV friendly state.
I wrote to him about this very same idea! It would be a better deal for him in his future travels. As long as he is in FL, now would be the perfect time to establish a FL presence. Your the first person I have seen that has brought this up besides myself.
American registration systems are so stupid... 8 weeks for a title who's to say you even have the car a week from today... things happen. In Canada my friend bought a rig and it got stole in 1 week of owning it... Imagine if you needed that title for insurance purposes? In Canada you buy a car you walk in buy insurance and registration its all done right there on the spot.
The stove came out great Eric, only problem is trying to keep Mr.Jax off of it while you are cooking,,LOL. Hubby and I started the paper work on our new 2015 Fifth Wheel today. It is a 39 foot Eagle we are selling the house in Ohio and setting up the 45 ac in Maine so that we can have a place to dock in warmer weather but we will be on the road by the end of summer. We have learned so much from you. Keep up the good work on your van. Charles and Janet. : }
You're pretty handy with tools??. If you and Jax want to be truly nomadic you can come work on our hobby farm in Denmark,EU for awhile. We would love to have you both here!Esp since your handyman talents would be put to good use. We're installing a small dairy and really need the workshop organized. You do Amazing work and I love how you think out of the box. Hugs to Jax!
When are you coming to Canada for a tour?
The van is becoming your home with all the modifications! I am enjoying you back into doing things again. The tag issue is fixed, so do not stress about it! You are handling things as they come your way, and this information you share will help many! Thank you!
Thank you Eric, you just helped me with precious info-im more then likely gonna buy a diesel mci mc9 bus in seattle and will have to deal with tag and insurance etc. Im intending on just moving to seattle officially. but we wont get there until after florida trip-so if you have any thoughts on that Please feel free to let me know-I can "maybe" use a friend as a address and then just get a DL and then register the bus as an RV there and get insurance then drive back to Oklahoma-get wife and either head to florida or back to Washington but -do not have enough friends there yet to " get my feet wet" so too speak-any thoughts or more information , Please feel free to assist. NOW , I love the current video's and your progress on the van is awesome. Please keep going just like you are. We "people who call you a friend" are waiting everyday to hear and see you and Jax and this wonderful adventure.. be safe and Keep it up brother!! john (vlad)
You would not want to register that vehicle in florida the average registration fee is close to $500 There, it's too expensive.
New tag, registration, and title work in Florida is $260. FYI, a dealer can register a car from any state to any state and issue a temp tag. Florida wont register a vehicle without proof on insurance. I live here and have four vehicles.
Each vehicle is different I live in Tampa and that's what I paid with a new vehicle
Corwin Jones
Ah I see, key words...New vehicle, yeah they drill you on that deal. I'm just over the bridge in Seminole.
I paid only licence fee 45 $ so........?
What type and year vehicle do you have in mind? Would this fee be for a van like his? Here in Arizona, my Class B, 1987 Ford econoline E350 camper van runs $36 for one year.
You want a nightmare, try to register an RV or any vehicle up here in Ontario. If you want RV insurance you need a valid propane system certification. You need proof of insurance to get your license plates. To get your license plates you need to get an emission test and road safety check. Any time you transfer vehicle ownership up here you need a valid e-test and safety check.
Some states have rules that really suck, glade you were able to do "THEIR CIRCUS ACTS" to get Bertha legal.
Really looking forward to those new videos you mentioned! I hope the stress dies down for you soon. It seems like WA is a real pill to deal with sometimes, good thing it's beautiful at least. ;) Best of luck and I'm sure it'll all work out in the end!
Eric, since you'll be traveling across to Washington, you are welcome to park at my place on the east side of Denver in Aurora, not far from I-70.
What a pain to get the plates....but the information you gave the rest of us on how you did it was soooo valuable and will simplify. And look what you walk away with - the work you did on that van is sooooo impressive - it HAS to be worth it in the long rung - and besides - you get to hang out with Wayne for a while. Not too bad of a deal. I hope you plan on decorating the van - I think that would make for some cool videos!
You didnt know that???? Dont you think every new yorker in the world wouldnt just go to florida for insurance??? Wow eric. Usually your much smarter hunn
The woes of travelling. Chin up and motor on.
Jax is the star power of this channnel..funny cat..
Not sure how many states are like this but in Maryland you're required to pass a vehicle safety inspection before they even issue you the license plate. Frickin' ridiculous.
Nice looking stove setup, but keep an eye on the wood right around where the aluminum and wood meet the stove.
I would have put some insulation under that aluminum flashing :/
Cant wait to see the new water system , cant wait to see you document the journey home , just cant wait period - its going to be epic!
Lookin' good Eric! Say hi to Jax for me!:)-John in Texas
Eric it looks good but i would carry it up under the cabinets flames going up that high are slim but think steam grease and other food splatters steaming the bottom of that raw wood will mess it up fast good luck buddy tilly will be missed
Lol i am pretty sure i know what you use that big roll of paper towels for...... dot dot dot
Did you still have your WA tag from Tilly? You should have been able to transfer that tag to the new van.
MrBNARick I didn't keep it.
gordon kistler Probably the same way you spell TROLL
I can't believe I am in the top 10!! Great work Eric.
I'm preparing to slowly transition into this, or a variation of this, lifestyle. As a result I've been watching Eric's and other's rv/van life videos. I'm appreciative to all for the information shared. This being said, I've noticed an inordinate amount of hate aimed at Eric compared to the other youtubers. This prompted me to watch more closely. What I concluded was that, regardless of his reality, It appears that Eric receives a lot of help from kind and giving people but he doesn't show how he's paying it forward often enough. Now, in the interest of remaining objective, I'll assume he is paying it forward, then, he should show it or speak of it more. Not to boast but to clear the air. I believe that paying Wayne for his services and giving him a nice tip, would be the perfect start. 15 years ago I was gifted a car. After a couple of years, when my situation improved, I gifted it forward. A few years later, when this younger recipient came to me asking what I thought they could get for the 1991 Volvo, their situation had also improved, I reminded her of how grateful she was to have received the car when she needed it and recommended she gift it to someone in need. I rarely, if ever, write comments and I'm not a troller; nore do I have the time or the inclination to debate anyone, just decided to give some advice. I haven't formulated an opinion as to Eric's integrity and character yet but I'm hoping for the best because I enjoy the information he and others share. Good day all. And good luck Eric.
Very well said.
Your dreaming
Jim Rockford Hi Jim. Are you up for a little troll hunting? (:
Jim Rockford very nice post.
Okay. (:
Just wondering?
When you are back , are you still going traveling or is that it?
Very interesting story you have.
Peace.
:)
Maxine Abarbara Of course. Samelifestyle, just in and around my homestate. While planning my next take off in October.
Fabulous, can't wait!
Nomadic Fanatic Usually the tags (plates) stay with a vehicle and then you can get new plates if you want so what happened there?
Nomadic Fanatic the northeast has alot to offer in spring n summer, Adirondacks, white mountains, Maine coast.
David Dube
OK to show what Eric was talking about the differences in states (and not knowing what state you are in) in Iowa it is the exact opposite. YOU keep the plates when you sell. Then you turn them in for pro rate refund if any.
Jax is seriously awesome, he reminds me more of a dog than a cat
Why go home?
Nothing like jumping through about nine hoops on one leg with one hand behind your back and one holding a camera...Good Job,..Can't wait to see the road trip home..
sorry for the stress, but it's all coming together
NO make sense to me..You are already on the eastern seaboard, To much to see to just turn around and go home >> COST THE SAME ..
When you order stuff from amazon how do you get it if you don't have an address? Do you just have to find people that will let you use there address?
Carl S. Yes, that's how I've done it. Sometimes an RV park will accept your packages before you arrive there, but you better call and ask first. There are also some "Amazon Public Lockers" available throughout the US, but they are very sporadic and only in about 8 states I think.
Looking good eric. Your cat sure funny
i really hope you will get your problems solved out buddy :) love your videos :) Chers from Tommy in Denmark :) :)
Hey Eric! Are you going to install a second burner? Is the pipe tank on top the only water your gunna have on board or are you still gunna install a fresh water tank, pump and sink? GREAT VIDEO!
Wow I live in Washington State what a mess
Well i think you do not know how to get a licence plate
I as a european even have a florida licence plate and insurance even i am not in the usa
So..........
Nice work on the flashing.
Great to see Jax the Cat being so adorable!
Glad you got the license & registration worked out. What a headache.
I hope you don't make a bee line back to WA. So much great stuff to see in the east. I highly recommend going up through Great Smoky Mountains National Park in NC & VA, up the Blue Ridge Parkway into VA, then on up to New England. You can cross the cooler northern states back to WA in the summer while it's blazing hot down south.
What a treat it is to follow along on your adventure!
Happy Trails!
that's government for ya.
Arrrgh! Well, at least it sounds like you are gittener dunn. Hard to imagine transfering insurance would be such a pain too get done. Looking forward to the videos on water and electrical. Perhaps you could take a break and let JAX narrate. i speak fairly fluent cat as Im sure many other fans do. Hope you get your loose ends wrapped up and back on the road. One more idea for you, the stove counter edge, you might be able to make that look better by installing a silver stair nose. Thanks for the vid.
I commend you for your restraint from swearing!! At least on camera, lol. I feel your struggle. I left WA State 5 years ago with $100 and my guitar. I miss it but I don't miss all the crazy regulations and laws.
i own a 1996 ford f-150 full size pick up truck with a 1986 full size coachman slide in camper i just remodeled man so i know the feeling i just installed harbor freight solar pannel set up and a 2000 watt inverter with three regular twelve volt car batteries but i will change over to deep cycle batteries when i can i put a 38 in flate screen tv new butain tanks new rotor, distributor cap andplugs and wires and coil and fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator because youve taught me alot about rv living so i changed every thing cause im about to start boondocking i thought i saw you in new orleans a bout six months ago around walmart on gentily blv but not sure if it was you in you tioga mobile home befor you sold it.
Eric and Max are just so cute
whats up Mr. Eric how are things going man? i love your set up with the van man, you done a wonderful job, i love your videos man keep up the good work man, and dont worry about the haters cause haters will be haters. Hope you get your papers soon cause your the best man keep it up.
Guess you need to come up with a new opening clip. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Making licensing a vehicle hard for the honest people makes it hard for car thieves too. Some states make it really hard and others not so much. I hear California is no cake walk either. I live in Canada and even our provinces make it hard. I am fortunate I live in Alberta it is pretty easy as long as your address matches on 3 documents; your drivers licence, registration and insurance. If your address does not match on anyone of those you are in for a tough time.
Eric, congrats on your recent successes! getting an adapter and going to a 20lb tank would be cheaper and you could plumb a heater into the same line for the chilly times, just a thought!
This DMV thing is messed up everywhere, glad to see that! I had similar issues registering my van here in Europe because of a missing dash in the title, I ended up paying someone off :D
Eric.
I'm not a cat guy, but Jax is changing my feelings. Anyway, Love your Rig!!! Kinda tight for me but the Quality is there 13.1 volts base Wow ! Impressive for sure ! Keep your head up and your nose down !
Uhmm we hae USAA and they let us add the car with just the vin. We didnt have the plates for 6 weeks until the dealer gave the titile to us. In Georgia you cant get plates until you have the title anyways.
So what are you doing once you get back home to Washington ??
Ha
👊😏👊 Hey Eric WUZ....".UP looking for a lead to get some of those batteries for my solar system in my 1999 Xplorer. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
I love your cat! Looks like my cat, Patch... but he isn't doing well right now (urination difficulties). Anyway, that sounds like a lot of bs runaround with your plate/tab/registration/title/etc. Sorry to hear. I live in MN (health insurance, housing, taxes, etc) with an IN license and plates/tabs/insurance/title/registration. I am a student, but I heard the trick is that you have to live in the one state 51% of the time otherwise. Mostly when I get stopped though, I just say I'm passing through. But maybe better to not have to worry. Hope it all works out for you ;)
in alabama here we drive on those plastic tags that the car lots put on the car with their name on it , we call them "Drive a way " tags with a bill of sale you can drive on them for 20 days . if you buy from a private seller you have 20 days to drive with no tag at all
I gave my niece a car - it was very simple. I lived in one state, my niece lived in another. The day I gave her the car, we went to DMV (in my state) and transferred the title and registration (in my home state) and her insurance company covered the vehicle. She then drove to her state and went to their DMV office where the title and registration were updated to that state. Why didn't you and the individual who gave you the RV do that? It would have been so much easier. Lots of people purchase (or are gifted cars) from out of their home state. Nobody has the trouble you've described.
Also, when you purchase a vehicle new, you never have the plates - just the VIN number.... and insurance companies will insure on the VIN number. It always takes anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to get plates for a new vehicle - people don't drive around w/out insurance on their new cars waiting for the plates.
Also, how were you able to get plate w/out DEQ smog check?
Is there any way you can contact me, I'm starting my van project with a 78 Chevy van. And I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I have been a follower of yours on RUclips for awhile now. Love the show, and jax of course. Just reaching out from the Texas panhandle.
Eric glad to see all you accomplishments while on the road, Rock On!! When you get moving again stop at camping world get another US State map, I belive you can and think you should do all 48 if you can get a ferry to Hawaii well do it too!! if you stop in northern Arkansas again look me up its much nicer and more to see than I-530 and I-40 Best of luck to you and Jax and I enjoy coming home and checking for new videos so keep em coming like Limp Biscuit once said Keep Rollin, Rollin, Rollin
I wondered how much of a hassell you were having with plates and registration. Good it's getting all worked out.
Eric, where did you buy the new compost toilet at? Want to get same for my emergency earthquake supplies... oh, and the aluminum looks great... Hey, I understand red tape - worked for the gov't for many years and what you went through is typical of the "monster machine"...
Very happy to hear you talk about this. We expect to have similar problems. When you don't have an actual physical residence the government doesn't really know what to do to you. I have heard that Texas will allow renewals from out of state RVers. But you have to first register in Texas. That's the only state I've heard will do this.
We are considering a Texas or Nevada PO Box. Some say that this will satisfy the burro-crats that you have a residence.
A composting toilet would fit ur needs better than that camp potty. It's odorless and only needs emptying every few months (the solids/fertilizer). Check out the "Airhead" brand...
no fridge/freezer yet??
keep your head up, once you get the red tape over with, your good to go. Meanwhile, just enjoy customizing your new home away from home. (i always have fun doing stuff like that). I love your videos, because i can live like i would like to live, through them.
Eric you have done so much work on Bertha in such a short time. Way to go, man! So inspiring! I just found your channel recently. I'm doing my research because I'm going to set up my mini van to dwell in in the pretty near future. Thanks for sharing your experiences :)
RED Tape can be suck a pain in the ass, but you will get through this buddy ;) cheers.
Hi Eric. Not criticism but a suggestion. The outlet you wired into the battery cabinet, perhaps would be less obtrusive if located up on the panel above the cabinet. I am just thinking about the wires that will be plugged into that sticking out where they can get bumped. Just thinking it would be nice if it was "out of the way." You sure do things fast! I am so slow when it comes to those things. Cheers Eric!!!
Hello Eric it has been 5 years or so, However I bought a truck in Florida. I was able to obtain Florida plates with my Ohio Drivers License. I was told at the DMV that it was impossible also. However I went to one of the mailbox places that also does license and they did it. Like I said rules might have changed since then.
You don't have to own a vehicle to insure it. Just about any insurance company will sell you insurance if you provide the VIN. Any time I purchase a vehicle I immediately put insurance on it. I'm pretty sure its illegal to operate any vehicle without it, no matter what the situation.
I love the videos Eric, keep up the great work
Have you thought about making coffee with a kettle and a french press? It works well for me.
Thumbs up on French Press
French presses are great... till you have to deal with the grounds. Takes a bit of water to rinse them well. I say a drip cone and a paper filter should be considered. They even have silicone collapsible ones. (Pretty ceramic ones handmade on etsy too.)
I use a single cup coffee filter holder that uses paper filters, and has a valve mechanism that releases the coffee only after placed on a cup. It's like a french press, you let the grounds soak for a few minutes, but there's virtually no cleanup, throw away the filter and rinse after use. And Eric could even use the same $15 electric kettle I use, it's 900 watts, but it only takes a couple of minutes to boil water, so it's using very little power. (2/60 x 900 watts = 30 watt hours for a cup of joe, Eric's battery bank holds 12v x 400 amps =4800 watt hours!!!)
raygunz333 Hey Ray, so what is the name of your great coffee filter and where to get it?
Tim Cat Amazon, Clever Coffee Dripper
7:15 in BC Canada you can buy insurance for a car using a suspend licence like its no big deal... you just need valid ID.
That sucks. In Texas you could have easily found out how much to send the guy by calling a tax assessor / collectors office in the county you reside in. You can also get insurance on any vehicle you want here without having it registered/titled in your name. Sounds like Washington is very backwards.
The van looks awesome man. I like what you did with the stove.
Hang in there.... Good Luck!!! Some great video's over the past few weeks, Thanks for sharing!!
love and affection
Please please get a higher roof topper. They have higher and a bit wider ones too. Then u can put the bed up top across if u got the six foot wide 2 foot high topper. Your gas mileage will be virtually unchanged. More space. Jax would appreciate it. Lol. And you would have a living room again. And u can hide your bed if u want.
I live in Arizona and my cars are registered in California and they mail everything to me in Arizona and I don't even have to smog them.
Eric, I am not worried about more ventilation for your van. Your ceiling fan should be enough as long as some air can get in as well. But you may consider adding some ventilation to the cabinet under the stove. If any propane leaks from the connection between tank and burner, or if it is released from the burner without igniting, then you can easily build up an explosive mixture in that cabinet. Propane is heavier than air, so it will not be vented upwards through the burner opening.
I would suggest to create an opening at low level. Ideally to the outside, but even inside is better because there you have ventilation. You could replace the lower part of the door panel with some mesh, for example.
Your government at work...what they call work is really crap. However, you have to have a toilet just like you have to have a government...hoot!
Looking forward to the show on the updated solar water heater changes. Are you going to demo the shower from Amazon once you get it set up?
wow sounds absolutely crazy, in Canada you can go to any licensing bureau here and get a transfer permit good for 7 days to transport any vehicle with full insurance coverage for about 45 dollars to go anywhere in canada ,dont need to transfer title till back in your own province.Even as a Canadian while visiting in the states i can get a transfer permit to buy a American vehicle and transport it across to here for same price , but you only have 7 days which is more then you need to transverse the country from one end to the other. Sorry to see you still have the troll problem in the responses. Shame some people lives are so pathetic all the have left is to show their hate and jealousy for others who are doing something rather than sitting in front of computer 14 hours a day in there stained underwear wasting their lives away. LOL
My husband says it would be fine if you wanted to boondock here in Myrtle Beach for a
few days.
Eric,When you get back home look us up! We'd like to meet up with you and check out the van and take ya to lunch or something. :-)
2 questions...will the van be registered as a recreation or passenger vehicle and are you going to put a finish on the raw wood interior?...It looks like you need more interior lighting...can be depressing in there after a few rainy days,imo.
If you want a propane tank you can mount on the frame of your conversion, try forklift fuel propane tanks, found a 6.1 gallon used in my local classifieds for $10
