Bus Living, Truck Living, Boat Living. You name it, if you live in a home that is capable of moving by itself, or have the desire to, then this is the place for you.

Going through some messages from a mailing list that I belong to (DTLC - Diesel Toyota LandCruiser), and what should pop up? Someone posting a link to the Sharkey site regarding LP injection in diesels 8) Man, your fame is spreading faster than a hot waste veggie oil spill on a garage floor! (And be...
