  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Vinnie da Van build tread.

    Played all week so no work on Vinnie. But late this afternoon I decided I better get the latches in for the top. Not really needed with electric actuators, other than really windy situations to help pull the bulb seal really tight so there is no chance of wind buffeting come in from the corners...

    Vinnie da Van build tread.

    Sunday was canvas day. Should have some better shots later in the week. It’s been a while since I’d installed a canvas, I forgot a few things but remembered them before I made any major mistakes… in the end it just took a little long than it used to, but doesn’t it always.

    Well things with Vinnie are progressing fairly well, maybe not as fast as I’d like but I’m still happy with the out come… Saturday - I spent about 4 hrs doing what we call a bump out. What happens in certain occasions is the actuators pull & push to hard when fully close & twists the top, so...

    What do you guys do with your dogs?

    In the jeep they (2 dogs) sleep down below in dogs beds & I sleep in the Ursa Minor pop top up above. In the van same goes but there’s a bench seat that folds out to a bed so they get that some times. Most the time they just want to sleep on the floor cause it padded so must be comfortable for them…

    Look into weldtek designs they can do what they call a grocery getter lift for 2wd for the Chevy/gmc vans. You can go up to 35” tires & at some point Putin a rear locker. Cost is way less than a 4x4 conversion & is pretty functional. It super popular down in Cali for lots of rigs that go down to...

    Thanks. I went back & forth on this… as I could have gone with a lower top. But in the end I couldn’t leave the drivers seat & stand up. This is a big requirement for both myself & wife when it comes to vans. Your taking the right approach with your van. Take time & small steps. I’ve seen so...
