No doubt. I'm getting ready to head to Virginia for 5 weeks but when I get back (for a week before heading out to Montana and then Colorado) I'm going to fix that rusty thing and then see where I am. Money is the biggest problem. I've been living in this van for 4 years and I work at Renaissance Festivals generally making only the amount of cash I need to survive. Looks like I'll need to pick up a couple of extra side jobs at the next few festivals I work.

If you want to take a vacation in Sunny San Diego, you have a place to park here. Many other have.

I hear you. Money and time are always in short supply.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Glad the noise is gone! I can imagine the relief!!!
The rusty smog piping in one of your pics......you can get a couple of new gaskets, take the rusty thing loose and turn it around then bolt it back on. This will put the solid side of the piping brackets against the cylinder heads and stop any exhaust fume type leaks/noise until you have time and money for a new pipe/valve assembly.
Just a thought to save a few bucks right now.....
