Ya there are some really great rigs out there and youtube is a great way to see others ideas. This is my daily driver so making it as light as possible was key. My build is more of a weekender than a full time van life build and it will mostly see its fair share of forestry roads getting to a...

Thanks! It’s coming along! I may redo the upholstery at some point. Using a fabric that has bias is critical.

Oh and 95% finished my van build... Few more big ticket items to go.

Painted old rims and installed new shoes!

Finally getting closer... Interior is nearly complete. Still need to get the slider tray ordered and installed. The bed height is temporary at the moment and will be raised to accommodate a Dometic cooler height. The new bed height will allow access to the right hand side wheel well storage...

Installed flooring in my van build!

Run all wiring - check Build wheel well boxes - check Install new floor - check Goal: Simple and Clean - check

Progress is slow.... actually wiring is slow haha. Up to this point I have ran all my wiring for my LED pot lights (2 in the rear hatch for the kitchen, and 4 in the main overhead with 1 below for the gear area. Fan has been installed. Today I finished the fab job on my magnetic panels, wrapped...

Thanks Scott! Its been a pretty fun project and with all the forced self isolation its given me tons of time to stay home and get it built out. Hopefully in time for the nice weather. It has a single speed transfer case however it is super low in 1st gear. Pretty well crawl low. It is just as...

First off I hope all your overland folk are keeping healthy and keeping up with your social distancing. Here is how I have been keeping busy with my isolation on the home front. Nothing like a little birch flooring. Too bad its all going to get covered. Until then its nice to look at! This...

Let there be BED. Version 1.

Good suggestions! Appreciate it! The van really is just a weekender and won't be lived out of full time so I want something light but that is able to run my fan, LED lights, fridge, etc. I also would like to keep it as compact as possible. I figured I would pick up the Renogy DC-DC charger with...

On a side note are you running any Renogy products? Solar etc? I thought I had seen a setup in your Tahoe build thread and wondering if you could comment on your opinion of the products.

Yes the cooking smells had crossed my mind but the tray slides out nearly 3 feet and with enough ventilation the smells should be fine.

Thanks Charles! Really enjoying the build process and the creativity aspect. That’s a fantastic idea! My plan at the moment is a solid wide drawer. A man RV company (Mor/ryde) makes one that I have been eyeing. The idea is to build a pull out kitchen on it space for a Dometic fridge.
