Thanks for the info. I just found something that I have not seen anyone else with this, It's a portable neck body warmer, it has 4 heating settings . I only paid $15 it was 50% off. It's a game changer for me with our 20° weather we are having here.

Nice setup! Where do you keep your clothes? I have to do the setup with the cot because I can't easily get up from the floor. And I have plenty of headroom when I sit on it plus I like the storage underneath.

I have the same vehicle. I used thin boards and then the puzzle piece flooring from, like, Home Depot. It's flat with a small amount of padding from the flooring material. I do like the soccer mom appearance, too. It makes it very stealthy.

New sub. this resonated. came for car camping and got this! btw love your minivan setup. I have suffered in pain for years and finally what helped was doing an elimination diet and de-stressing. lots of therapy and mediation to manage stress. went to cleveland clinic for fibromyalgia. i am now off all my medications. The elimination diet is extreme - however it will show you what foods and drinks trigger you. mine is gluten, lactose, garlic, onions, all nightshade veggies. i cannot have nitrates and sulfates. I am low FODMAP diet now. it is helping. My one trigger - caffeine - was the only thing i wont give up. good luck in figuring out how to best treat yourself! Invisible illness is hard to talk about.

Thank you for one of best TV shows relaxing, real, Heather ii am thinking of removing my third row stow in go seat yet ii can figure it for one seat upright. Not sure yet. That is a weird looking tool looks affective. ii don't have the stow ii have the easy removable 2 row seats and a have storage in front of the seats. Great job looks like a brand new vehicle. Mine set up will never look like a Vermont bnb, ii like it that you save the car carpet from wear and tear. Less stuff more comfort. When ii use detail cars if you half a compresser blow you can get a a finer clean, yet Heathet you do a great job with out. Heather Question do you have a video for your DVD players?? ii made the mistake playing videos and running battery very low. You probably won't read this its a long rant??

Thank you so much! I do love the versatility of the stow and go, but when you rove the sears alltogether you get so much extra storage in there, so it definitely is a trade off! That's a good idea with the compressor! I do have a rechargeable portable DVD player, but I never end up using it much - I really should start bringing some movies so I don't have to waste my data on my phone when I watch stuff before bed!

If I parked on the street I would definitely prioritize that, but most of my overnighting is either backed into campsites or backed into parking lot spaces, so fortunately I don't have to worry about that. My van isn't level, and it's slightly inclined towards the back, so if I reversed in this setup I'd definitely have to do more to level the floor first

My setup is very similar, except I used half of a full size platform bed frame/riser so I could put a few storage boxes underneath it. The frame fit perfectly. Only problem is, now you have a bed frame that I don't need. I wanted to have access to both rear sliding doors in case of a emergency.

I just want to share a little tip about car care. You should never clean the interior with Clorox or Lysol because overtime it will start to crack that leathery plastic interior material that makes up the dash and the center console steering wheel, etc. You can still disinfect by just mixing some rubbing alcohol with water And use a microfiber cloth and then if you want to make it shiny, you can also use things like armor or any kind of interior car care. Do you want to avoid having it dry out and crack. I hope that’s not too intrusive and I hope it helps. Because I know I want my car to last a good 10 years or more and I’m pretty sure you’d want yours to last as well. Otherwise, I’d also love to say that I absolutely love your new set up and I’m excited to see you back at camping again.
