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.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."
