Haven't been on the site in a while. I purchased a Yamaha 2000efi generator that runs my Coleman mini Mach air conditioner it is great the previous generator I had was an old honda 2400. The Yamaha is so quiet and sips gas. If I want I can run it going down the road and supply's enough cool air that...

That generator looks a little two big for my use. I'm looking at a yamaha or honda 2000 watt generator. They weigh about 45 lbs, are quiet, and small. I think they will be all I need. I will test one during the summer to see if it runs the air conditioner and if it does then I'm all set.

Just got back from a week trip to Rhode Island . Everything worked great . Got 9mpg the new water heater with a switch to light it on inside was a great addition. After a week of running the 36 year old refridgerator only a 1/3 of the propane tank was used. Was wondering if anybody has run a coleman...

The HAMB is a great forum. Maybe someday we can have a little step van rally. I'll have to wait till I retire.

Another season is over in the northeast. Instead of using the pink stuff in the water system to prevent freezing of the pipes I tried blowing all the water out. I hope it works .

To all of you moving down to warmer climates have fun I am still working.

Even though the body is aluminum the undercarriage is not and don't want to subject it to the salt. It is fully insulated and is comfortable in cold weather but it isn't worth it to me to subject to the corrosion. The van took first place in at the 2010 truck in in greenwich ny in the camper division.

Just winterized the kurbmaster for the winter. Sad to put it away for this extended time. Can't wait till I can go south for the winter. Having a job sucks.

I don't know about a ac dash that would be nice. I just use fans when I am on the road and the roof top air when I am stopped. If you find an in dash conversion for ac let me know.

I don't know how much weight it will hold but we used the racks with 2x6s on top of them and three adults standing on them as a rolling scaffold to help build an airplane hanger one time. So they hold a lot. Drip rails are solid on that vehicle

Anybody know a good source for an auxilary battery. I usually go to SAMS and get a marine rv battery for $75.00 . Any good sources out there.

Hi my father installed the windows and did the whole conversion. You will have to have someone else do it. He is retired. Any good carpenter should be able to do it. Hope he doesn't make a mistake though.

Yea Sharkey it's all about the quality of the riveting. My canoe is older then the van. And it is still in great shape. Should have flown an f-14 tomcat. Then I would have sworn by grumman even more[/code]

Hi Thanks for the positive comments. I really like this motorhome for several reasons. It has been extremely reliable and over the past ten years even though I haven't put that many miles on it, It always is dependable. Plus I just had to do a rear brake job on the thing plus replace the master cyli...
