Yeah, no problem. I'll see what it runs him. He's got $400 in labor already. He's not too mechanically inclined, but most of all, he doesn't have the time, so he pays someone to help him out and fix these things. I can separate out labor from materials. I'm sure someone here has a list and...

He's well past $500! Air filter likely is soaked, so I got new improved filter. Gonna go ahead and drain oil and tranny. It's time anyway. Drain first bit of axles into a jar. Any water we will replace. No water. Seals did their job. He May want to replace all fluids anyway. His call. He wont...

I was on vacation when my buddy thought his truck could swim. It couldn't. It sat there for over a week because of rain, inability to get the wrecker to show up, or return calls, work, etc. I came home and found my truck refused to go into low. Screw it. Yankee him out in high, his wouldn't...

Well, Many things jump out at me. In case this comes across as rude, please know that it's just me being frank with you. First, call DMV and a few insurance companies. Ask each of them what makes a FMV (Former military vehicle) into an RV. Follow their recommendations because registration and...

Look at "Natures Head Composting Toilet". Google it. The thing works. Not much maintenance required other than emptying the urine cartridge when it gets full. But that's easy. You probably walk outside to pee anyway. My roommate in college ALLWAYS did. Day or night. Walk past the bathroom, out...

Ok, good luck with the project. Reminds me of Trapper John MD (sorry, you are too young to remember that one). It was a Dr. who lived in his sailboat in the parking lot of his hospital. I barely remember it! Im sure you know there will be pitfalls, but, hey, life is no fun without some risk...

This sounds like something I would have attempted in my college/post college days. I hope this works out for you! Some thoughts. (If any of this was covered, my apologies, I did read through this, but may have missed it) A generator will get very old, very fast. You will seek out electricity...
