I have so many things I want to do to/for Miles.
Paint below the water line with BedLiner. And the in-steps. Help protect him from road/mud kickup and wear and tear.

A new set of Ignition wiring..
Fix the ignition issues.. (have parts, just haven't Done it yet)

Organize/tidy the battery box. Rewire a few things. Hardwire the fridge (on a switch)
Find the mystery water leak... lol
Finish reattaching the roof liner.

Add the LED lighting to the existing light frames (again, on switches)
change out the diffuser panels in the existing light frames

Next trip, I am getting More Video.

Now I'm trying to come up with an awning... hmm..  whippy-snappy tent poles, rain fly...  I could make this work..  trap-pockets for the pole ends.. adjustable awning poles...  yep.. I have a plan.

Will show y'all next camping trip.

Yeah-- you guys remember how Miles didn't want to start??  Rinse repeat.
Thankfully, I suspect it is the ICM.. and have one on hand.  I hope that solves that problem.  Will do the ignition part under the dash and the one under the hood.. both. Have parts, might as well.

Silly van didn't want to go to work this morning... Lol

When Tx2sturgis was at our camp he showed us how his awning worked. He was using extendable painters poles. Maybe he will chime in w more details.

Being a shade under half a ton under gvwr - I would like to try to keep it there.. but still need my spare tire/mount, more water, and provisions.. hmm.. guess I need to sort out all the superfluous stuff.

I recommend air bag helper springs. I had to put them on my 1 ton truck to pull my "way to big" 5th wheel. Only about $300 and really easy to install yourself (well, it was for me).

You are absolutely welcome to buy a set for me and install them..    


but seriously..
I do want to replace/upgrade my shocks..

I know it will NOT actually increase the load capacity of my van.. but it will help with wear/tear of carrying weight all the time.
