Ujoint, Are you on Long Island visiting by any chance? If not your van's stunt double was in Centereach on Middle Country Road this past weekend.

He is at the other end of the country, to bad you didn't get a picture.

I believe Chris has family here and has visited in the past, I was suppose to meet up with him in Montauk a few years back but I couldn't make the trip. And yes, I just didn't have enough time for a picture. It was pretty impressive!

Not on the Island! Like Steve said, far far away. Hope you guys are OK up there, got a video from my uncle today and it was nuts.


Damn that looks awesome.
What kind of MPG does a setup like this net?

We drove from Grass Valley to Vegas and saw 15-17mpg.

It's been a LONG week! We left NC Tuesday afternoon and drove until we lost the vaccum pump in St Louis. Kept going another 200 miles or so before I decided that a complete failure wouldn't be a good thing in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. Stopped in MO for the night, sourced a pump in the AM, swapped it in an O'Riellys parking lot and kept on trucking. I was checking the weather and expected some snow once we got to Denver, but it came early and came down hard! I could barely see 3 feet in front of the van, it was a struggle to see a line in the road to follow. Made it to the 1st rest stop that we could to wait it out. Once it calmed down we continued to Denver. Took a few hours!

The next morning we continued (behind schedule) and headed west. This would be a long day. We made it all the way to Reno, about 85 miles short of Grass Valley. Rigid power!

We arrived at XP the next morning, ready to help finish the camper. Full crew and my buddy Jamie came up to lend a helping hand. Full throttle for 2 days and we were mounted up!
