1995 Chevrolet Astro Van Converted Campervan More Photos: http://imgur.com/a/wsYh8#0 This great van has been lovingly converted into a live-in camper van, great for weekending or even long-term camping. We have been living in it for 5 months and loving it, traveling the country. We are heading back to Australia and looking for someone else who wants a great experience in our little camper. I bought the van on eBay last year and converted it to a campervan myself. It has been a great little machine and has given us very few problems. The car itself has 222,500 miles on it and it has been very well maintained. All of the front suspension has just been replaced at a cost of about $900. As well, the radiator, Air Conditioning lines, brake drums, rotors and bearings have also just been replaced at a cost of about $700. The car is in great shape and has always been cared for. There are some cosmetic paint chips off the front of the car as well as a few small spots on the side of the car but NO RUST! The tires are only 6 months old and have about 18,000 miles on them. There was also a fuel system cleaning and coolant flush & hose replacement done 6 months ago. The ignition battery was also replaced and is only 4 months old. It has a nice comfortable full bed in the back and we are happy to include bedding with that. The bed is built up on a wooden platform so you have a lot of storage underneath the bed. Storage is accessible from the door side and the back. It also includes long storage bins that slide under the bed which are great for long term clothing or pantry storage. There are also two smaller storage bins for dishes and pots/pans as well as food. It comes with all the pots & pans you'll need for camping (maybe even more than you need!) as well as a two-burner propane stove and a 20lb propane tank. Fire extinguisher included as well, though we haven't used it - thankfully! - it's always good to have. Stove originally $110, Propane tank $35 and it has about 2 gallons in it. Fire extinguisher $35. Here are all the pots, pans, dishes and silverware included: 1 large pan with lid, 1 medium pot with strainer lid, 4 plates, 2 small bowls, 1 medium bowl, 4 large square tupperware, 3 small round tupperware, 1 plastic strainer, 1 cutting board, 1 turner/spatula, 1 cooking spoon, 1 chef's knife, 1 bread knife, 4 steak knives, 2 butter knives, 4 forks, 3 large spoons, 2 small spoons, 1 soup ladle, 1 cheese grater, 1 pasta spoon, 1 peeler, & 1 can opener. There is additional storage above the driving seats - two small cubbies good for books or other things accessible from the bed, as well as a larger storage area in the center which we have been using for clothing. The van also includes a black-out curtain which runs across between the bed section and the driving seats. Each window in the rear has custom-cut 1/2" insulation panels which can be easily put in place. The whole effect is good for privacy and keeping the temperature in the van comfortable. There is also a 250Ah 12V secondary battery system that charges from the 80A alternator and then is isolated away from the ignition system so that your ignition battery is always protected from being discharged by the secondary battery system. There are two 12V outlets in the rear of the van that can support up to 15A DC appliances. (Battery originally $450, Outlets $6) As well, the 2A LED lighting runs from the secondary battery and is dimmable using its small switch. (Originally $19) A 33 quart fridge is also included (20" x 14" x 16") which runs directly off the secondary battery using a dedicated 12V outlet in the front of the car. The fridge can also be switched to keep food hot if needed. (Originally $180) As well, there is a 350W 120V DC/AC Inverter connected directly to the secondary battery that can be used to charge laptops/phones/cameras, other small AC appliances (under 350W peak). (Originally $35) There is also a 12V adapter that can be used with the inverter to connect to the ignition battery when driving if the secondary battery is discharged. There are 3 appliances that can be connected to the 12V outlets in the rear: a 48W heated blanket for the cold nights, a 10W fan for the hot nights, and a 100W electric kettle for heating water for cooking, tea or coffee. (Heated Blanket originally $35) (Electric Kettle originally $28) It also includes a 40-cup BritaMAX household water filter with a brand new filter. (Originally $35) There is also a Propane and Carbon Monoxide detector wired directly to the battery, so you are safe from accidental leaks or carbon monoxide issues. (Originally $65) Also includes a first aid kit and a large USA/Canada/Mexico road atlas. All the items included with the van were bought new 5 months ago so they have only minimal wear on them. I'm sure there will be more things I can throw in that I've forgotten to put in the listing. Shipping costs will vary depending on where you are located. I am located in Sarasota, FL. Please use the shipping estimator through ebay to determine shipping or contact me to make plans to pick up the van. Shipping is flexible so please contact me with any questions.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
Chevy Volt gets customer satisfaction 'recall' for rear hatch issue *UPDATE*
Mon, Jan 26 2015Last week, General Motors has issued a "Customer Satisfaction program" for some 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Volts to fix the manual rear lift gate not working as appropriate. According to Volt owner posts on Facebook, the problem manifests itself by the hatch not opening up all the way (sometimes worse in the cold) with some people bumping their heads. Dealers will replace the lift gate struts as part of the program. Some drivers were notified through the vehicle's OnStar system that there is a problem. GM has not yet said how many Volts are affected. *UPDATE* This program is for all 2011-2015 model year Volts. Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that, "This is not a recall, so there won't be any formal information posted on the GM website." The fixes will be free to affected Volt owners. Some 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles are also affected by the same problem and will also be fixed.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
