Dave, someone living on the road would go crazy over that van. It is 100% stealth, looks totally stock, would blend in anywhere. Another creative project

Everyone acts like van life is a new thing. Back in the 80's there were groups of people driving their vans on a daily basis with the insides converted into living spaces used on the weekends. Most of them had a bed that converted into sitting spaces. Many had conversions that were party areas. Ive seen them with electric fireplaces, sinks. Even a waterfall. We traveled on weekends to other cities even other states for a weekend of partying. You packed everything need in there & went camping!

@myrabruner38822 ай бұрын
@EndgameCampers me? Our van had a u shaped seat in the back with storage underneath. It had cushions on top that were covered. We put a covered board between the seats & our son slept there. We slept on a mattress with our feet underneath it. We also added a 3rd seat behind the driver's seat for our son. Then we had a storage space behind that. We just packed all of our camping supplies, food, stove, cooler, etc, in the back & took it out when we got to the campground. Ours wasn't all built out because we had a kid that went everywhere with us. Couples & singles were the ones with fancy interiors. We had a friend that used a wheelchair. She had a composting toilet in hers. We were going to weekend van meets called "Truck Ins" where you had to have a van to get in. They were Friday night, Saturday daytime & Sat night parties. Sat was games, volleyball, drinking games & kids games. There was "Show-n-Shine" where you could show your van in that model group. Sat night homemade plaques were given out to winners & then a band would play & there was lots of drinking. Kids were put to bed in your van & the party got underway. You went home on Sunday. Back when this was popular, there were groups of vanners that formed clubs. When we went to Truck-Ins, we traveled in a group like a convoy. Our club had approximately 30 vans. Our lead van was driven by a guy that went by "Undertaker" & the roof of his van had been cut down "chopped" over the front. He pulled a trailer with a coffin on it. With all the vans running behind him with headlights on, it looked like a funeral prosession. My husband & I had some acreage & twice a year in the summer we had fish fries where he caught the fish, one couple had a huge homemade deep fryer & everyone brought side dishes. We supplied the beer. These started on Fridays & ended on Sunday morning. Those were some of the best times. Even though we have all gone our separate ways & aged, I still consider them some of my best friends! Sorry this was so long.

I like how you took advantage of what the van had going for it rather than tearing it all apart , as many others do. How deep is the cabinet behind the front seat? Can you get 4x8 sheet in with it in place? Nice job.
@EndgameCampers2 ай бұрын
Thanks for recognizing that. Yes, you can fit the plywood in with the cabinet in place. I purposely made it relatively narrow for that reason. Off the top of my head, I think it’s about 16 inches deep.

Dave, I know you probably mentioned the stain color on cabinet before, but I can’t remember. Small changes made a huge difference with the pre conversion before you. Have you checked to see how much cooler it is keeping this van since with covering the windows? Thanks
