That dude does use muffler pipe for his flue FWIW

As far as using muffler pipe I think it would be fine. Cat’s on vehicles run hot and are connected directly to the same muffler pipe without issue. Though double wall pipe would be better as it add’s some insulating qualities.

Sorry if I’m geeking out on this but I love this van living stuff and get into it

I don’t know the years well enough but I think they were all older boards.

Chris,
The garmin I linked claims a 9 mile range. I’m assuming that is for the locator functions only but it is a little hard to decifer. My huskies are laying in the hotel bed next to us right now. Spoiled old dogs.

We have two huskies and I have always wanted to be able to let them run off leash. Unfortunately I trained them incorrectly when they were young and I don’t think it will ever happen with these dogs. One of them is pretty good alone and I trust him not to go too far but he gets nervous off leash and runs back to the truck as soon as he knows where…[Read more]
