Van is fixed, turned out to be the park neutral relay had come loose. A 5 cent washer that I cut into a narrow C shape and then squeezed on there with a leatherman was all it took to fix it.

I took the extra time to finally wire up the stereo correctly so that it turns on and off with the ignition. Got rid of all the electrical tape connections in there and tucked all the wiring away nicely, then I cut it up a bit and put some different speakers in there. Very tidy now.

Ha. Yeah I take the seats out and we transport heads and cabs for local shows.
Before we had a merch guy, we would tour in the minivan (AKA "Mom's Taxi") with a 5x5 trailer. We're a three piece, so it worked out. Four humans is tipping the scales though.

Man, I need to find a trailer, right now we can barely fit all our gear, and two people. we're also a three piece.
I'd like to get us down to Portland Eugene maybe into Cali. Need just a bit more room.

They're crazy expensive for what they are, even used ones on CL.

Whisk, you'll need an 18 wheeler. Better get that license.
Yeah ry, most tradies down here have a trailer in addition to their ute tray, but we don't have giant pickups like you guys.
Well, we do, but they mark the price up by 300% and nobody can afford to run them
Trailers are expensive though.
That fucking pic rules.

I've tried to get away from the two heads and two 4x12s setup I've been using for years for the sake of portability, but it just sounds shitty with less.
