First fill-up on the California leg of the Gun Show Loophole Tour
Between Tucson & Yuma in the desert.. really tested this one to see just how much distance I might get out of the last 1/4 tank
(I made it 36+ miles on that last 1/4 tank & there were still 9 in the tank !!)
21.26 gallons
$2.19 / gal
$46.75 total
On the way to Yuma, stopped by the Domes of Casa Grande
These weird dome shaped concrete buildings in the middle of the desert
Last gas before the California trip
Starting mileage for the California leg = 207.908.8
Mileage 207,908.8
17.56 gals
$1.99
$35.18
Tested out the new electrical system and the 12 volt laptop charger
Everything worked well for the entire LIVE show, and the dog could have cared less
Aux Electric Installed. Run with a smart relay under the hood, from the alternator. Then 0 Gauge welding wire to the battery in back
I keep seeing this other G30 in Tucson, AZ
Its a nice one, but it has windows in back and on the sliding door
I found this photo from a satellite view of the School Maintenance yard where the van sat for years.
The van is the 4th from the left in that front row of white vehicles
I had intended to bid on the one to the right of it (east) in this photo, the one with the roof ladder-rack. But it was in much worse shape, and had imediate issues to deal with like a busted muffler, and destroyed front seats. The partition had no door, so that was a no-go for me. plus it was just a 3/4 ton..
Installing the vent & fan was fast and easy
Places the vent where I wanted it on the outside, then tried to picture where that would be inside. Adjusted. And once I was happy, I marked the cut, and drilled some holes.
I used snips to nibble the cut out pretty quick
Then used some self tapping screws to secure the vent
Added an oscillating fan inside high in the corner and wired it into the electric panel
Backing in is a MUST with this van
