Cheap food?
Totally forgot about the coach's $5 breakfast. Anything else I might be missing that is sub $10?

This is vanronica. Slowly refurbishing it, but I've hit a point where I like it!
Featuring Suki, my side piece.
Purchased for $1200. Guy needed it gone that day and I showed up with cash. Platform and solar already installed. Had a TON of bad wiring, spent about 22 hours cleaning everything up including rewiring the harness at the firewall so I could have gauges.
3k watt inverter, 4 batteries, 3x200w solar. Gaming rig (nothing super hot rodded, just enough to play some single player games, watch videos, play music) fridge, 30amp shore power behind plate, standalone ac, all of my tools for mobile mechanic stuff.
Still learning about it but I'm absolutely enamored with this new hobby!

Getting around to adding some decorations and reorganizing after the first couple of weeks.
Mainly an adventure mobile, but I drive it more often now because it is so darn comfortable. Toolbox was moving around, resecured. Fridge, right side of van doesn't budge when in travel mode and strapped down. TV stays put on bed in travel mode but would like a better way to secure it Now back to the van side of things.

If someone has a wiring diagram for a 1999 e350 I would appreciate it 😅

New to van life! Not living in it full time but it's a blast.
During the week it's a work van for my mobile mechanic business. On weekends I'm going to take it camping as much as possible.
1999 econoline. 3x 200w solar panels and 3009w I better. Motor and rear end rebuilt 40k ago. 6inch skyjacker lift with fox shocks. 30 amp hookup hidden behind plate.
It has electrical gremlins on the van itself (dash doesn't work, still troubleshooting but after an all nighter getting it set up I was done) but it floats down the highway. Hills are a bit of an issue. Deleted the lights for now as they were really crappy wired. Had to rewire running lights.
Seller was asking $2500. I showed up on Thursday to look at it and he said it needed to be gone by Friday. Showed up with $1200 cash and he took it!
Tips welcomed!

I got a better work truck. It makes my s2000 look very small.
1999 Econoline. Built camper set up but plenty of room for tools and a workbench. Lifted, 3000w inverter, bed built out. In the cleaning and organizing phase. Engine and rear end rebuilt recently, runs great but has quirks. $1200.
Ft my blown up xb that I'm probably going to scrap, don't feel like rebuilding the motor.

Spooln Up meet - Top Notch, Austin TX - 5/24/26
Surprised how many other s2000s showed up. The k swapped one was very well built. There were so many other sweet cars, and I got to sit in the R34 parked behind me. It was already full when they started too. There's not a lot of JDM meets here but I'm glad people showed up in droves!
Mines the silver one. The supra next to me was absolutely insane.
Also, this was where part of dazed and confused was shot. Usually they have hot rod meets but I'm glad they gave spooln up a shot.

G920 - bashing my head against the wall. Pedals and steering aren't working.
Had to reinstall windows, had a computer die and had to swap SSDs. When I swapped back, I had to reinstall windows. Now only the shifter/dpad/buttons work. No steering input and no pedal input.
have attempted to reinstall game.
latest version of Ghub installed. Everything shows up fine. Have also reinstalled Ghub. Ghub is open before launching the game.
have done the windows calibration.
Steering wheel is selected as input under advanced.
have attempted inverting axis.
have manually calibrated and done the auto calibration.
At this point I'm at a loss. I had this working just fine a few months ago. I moved, hadn't set up my race sim. My plex server was having issues so I swapped drives. I reinstalled the SSD/HDD I had previously but windows was not playing nice. Had to reinstall. Only installed Firefox, Ghub, Steam, and Carx.
Did something get borked with an update or is there something I'm missing? I've tried everything for the last 2 hours and am really bummed after all this work it just isn't working any more.
Yes, I searched high and low for an answer, but nothing is recent. I tried everything listed above. Using the wheel and sliding around was a great workout for me with feedback, I have a bad back and it's a great workout for an hour. I don't want to go to Forza 6 but at this point I'm tempted, I just love a dedicated drift game.
Help?

F in chat. Car blew up on my way to the beach. Got home and my plex server and living room computer got fried by a storm. Then my main gaming rig crashed during an update and started boot looping.
Can I catch a break? plex was an old 4670k build. living room computer is just a 2700x/1070. Main rig is a 3700x/3070. Let the troubleshooting begin.
Oh and car got so hot it melted a hole in the radiator and I blew the headgasket. Got trapped in small town texas for two day while I figured it out.
Clutter is because thankfully I had a dedicated race sim with a 3400g/1060. Now its pulling double duty as ples and main computer while I sus this out.
