    Woodstoves aren't very stealthy, huh

    Don't forget you've got to go out and collect fire wood, witch often needs to be cut or broken into stove lengths, not something you'd want to do in walmart parking lot. Or if you buy bundles of wood its so dry you can run through 2 - 6 bundles a night depending on when/where/why (winter/summer...

    How Big of a Factor is Mileage When Buying a Van?

    YES! rule #1, don't buy any niche vehicle (VW, conversion van, "sports car" or fixie bicycles for that matter) in California - your paying nearly 25% more just cause of what it is and where its being sold at; California - go to washington, oregon, idaho, nevada, arizona, new mexico or colorado...

    Tiny RV (vespa caravan)

    I personally here in USA would start with a cushman (they use them here for meter/ticket maids)(traffic wardens). they have often have a 3 speed automatic and a Yamaha or Kawasaki 750 quad carb motor - I believe they are rated for 300 - 500lbs, with lightweight fiberglass, PEX, solar film, Li-Po...

    Sorry but if that is really a 3.0 its a V6 and is greatly underpowered, unless its got gearsplit rear end it will end up somewhere with a blown engine, those chevy TBIV6's were notorious for popping under high rev/heavy load/hills. You couldn't pay me 3k to take it.
