The thing already has an aux battery (total score)... I need an in-dash dvd/nav, fold-down screen, reverse camera...

Lots of fun stuff.

Does it have a twin brother/sister? If so I'll buy it for same price. Drooling!

Klinquist, check out maxacceleration van. He has done the same build and it came out great.

17 miles per 2 gallons if I read that right.

That would be 8.5 mpg, right?

17 mp2g sounds so much better than 8.5 doesn't it?

To put a qualifier on that mileage that's when I'm pulling my boat trailer, which weighs maybe 1000lb including the boat.
