    RV build for a foodie my 95 GMC Topkick box truck

    Went with purple and gray stained fence pickets for the walls and ceilings. Cheapest strong walls I could come up with. Left the spaces in them on purpose. I'm rough around the edges so is my rig.

    RV build for a foodie my 95 GMC Topkick box truck

    I decided not to put anything in the walls except insulation so the next step was spray foam insulation walls and ceiling.

    RV build for a foodie my 95 GMC Topkick box truck

    First thing I did to her is put an insulated floor in her. So r18 ridged foam insulation with locking single layer floor on top.

    RV build for a foodie my 95 GMC Topkick box truck

    I'm a disabled veteran with a limited income and a love of good food. After my last divorce I had both of my knees and both of my shoulders replaced and a small tumor in my neck treated for cancer.

    Diesel Heater

    They're taking the van life and RVs by storm. They work well and are reliable and economic. They go tick, tick,tick,tick and it's annoying. You either get used to it or you replace the fuel pump with a quiet one. Don't burn used oil or kitchen oil in them as it builds up a lot of carbon and...

    I'm building an RV to live in. Full time home. I'm a disabled veteran that can't work and they give me 1800\mo to live on. So I'm building a 95 GMC topkick 7500 with a 26ft box. The back 12 feet is the "garage". My smoker just died. And I don't want a tiny RV smoker. Someone suggested an...

    How to price jerky to sell?

    I Love jerky with all my heart and soul and make several pounds a week, but it is not a money-making business. It's pretty hard to break even really. When I quit selling jerky in '06 or '07 I was selling for 55\ lb and could easily sell everything I made. I was buying meat tax free from the PX...

    Jerky Help Please

    Next time I suggest throwing in half black pepper and half white pepper and toast the peppercorns first. The pepper balance is an amazing thing and it's a richer more well rounded flavor. Fresh(whole peppercorns )is definitely the way to go. And sprinkle some on before drying for mega pepper.

    Sausage party delayed

    I woke up on my birthday, with a filling on my pillow. Instead of a sausage party I went to the dentist. The dentist gave me drugs, and not the fun kind. It was kind of a bummer. But but 24 hours with antibiotics and the infection leaving, I charge the head with my second and third sausage...
