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.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
