If you are only installing the kill switch on the power leading to your coil and sparkplugs, then yes all other accessories should work. Of course, it would depend where you place it. Be sure it only interrupts the power to the coil. -Ray M ..read more

Hi. Ray here from Canada’s “Wet” coast. I recently finished (almost …) my Toyota Sienna van conversion. I chose the Sienna because of its reliability. I fashioned it after one I saw on a video by ‘Mitchel’. It has a ‘teardrop type’ kitchen under the rear hatch. I added a raised bed to mine to accommodate a lithium battery, inverter, DC/DC MPPT charger, and a small (2K) diesel heater. The solar panels I chose are the Renogy 2 pack of 100 W panels which fit right inside the roof rack. I used 1" carriage bolts with a 1/4" shoulder which slid nicely inside the side rails after temporarily removing ..read more

I decided not to use a van. They’re insanely expensive while getting new insurance policies can be a nightmare if it’s a cargo van especially for high top or long, especially no-build, and some big companies won’t even touch Promasters other than under commercial policy ($$$) anymore. Van is really for urban camping because of stealth. But now everyone out West thinks that every van got someone sleeping in it. Starting to sell my nice and comfy class C motorhome now, not the right thing for me either. My last year of full-timing is starting: I will do a truck + cargo trailer and no build of an ..read more

Never felt lonely on the road. Always try to get away as far as possible from humans, as many miles as possible, and the ideal way would be to just live in the woods in total isolation. Never felt afraid of anything except finding parking in town, never felt unsafe and I’m a woman traveling alone. I like to sleep outside not locked in a vehicle. Selling my nice class C now, which has super low mileage too. Because I want something much smaller and higher ground clearance, which means a truck. This will be my last year on the road, I want to settle in the sticks. When I see a group of vans or R ..read more

Greetings! I never experienced claustrophobia until I was suckered into a cargo van by the promoters. Lots of windows, daylight, and ventilation solved that problem, and depression too. The view solved the rest of my problems, by being able to see the cause of some noise outside instead of being frozen in fear waiting for what was coming next. Later, RV’s were a welcome upgrade, and a lot cheaper too. More room, more conveniences, & more comfortable, imagine that. Our homes on wheels can come in many shapes, sizes, & prices. Bare bones to luxury accommodations, the choice is ours, and ..read more
