Looking for recommendations for a faucet with a pump switch, would prefer one with a sprayer. On a tight budget. thanks

Does any one out there use a submersible pump for their fresh water, Amazon has a couple that I think should work . Any comments are welcome.

Damn good point and suggestion, my original thoughts were to use the fridge as a seat while using the galley, may just get a rolling stool.

Here is a floor plan that I am leaning towards, the van will only be for me. I dont need a wide bed, and I can fit across the rear of the van. the fride will slide out to be a seat for cooking. Its a conversion van and have been living in it for 10 weeks, and plan on starting the conversion in...

Yes I was looking for the amps, trying to see if the alternator would could charge the house batteries, while driving say 4 hours a day, under normal driving conditions. my van is a 2001 e-150, and previously had a wheelchair lift, as wheel as other handicap accessories, such as push button...

Question.. What is the normal outputs of the standard vehicle alternator, while Idling and while driving. E-150 5.4 V8

I guess my main concern with doing it while living in it while building out, is the vapors emitted while staining the wood, Guess I could do it outside and allow it to dry, and then install. With careful planning I figure I can accomplish it , in small stages at the stores and move on.

Any one use it, they claim it's not a swamp cooler. eventually will end up in texas/Florida. The price seems affordable.

My van is a conversion Van, and has one rear bench seat which Is my bed for now. The day I started this life, found a dresser, on side of the road, which worked out great for storage. I been thinking that I could do the interior rip out and insulation in a day, with out affecting livability ...

Thanks I wasn't going to do this but I just looked how easy it would be to do, and not have a AC hanging off the back end of the van

I have been living in my Van for about 8 weeks, I'm currently stuck in Mid Michigan. Once winter is over I plan on starting my conversion. However finding a place to do this is going to be a challenge. I was thinking of camping a BLM land pitching a tent to live in while the big parts of the...

I'm sure I won't do this but, has anyone ever used a portable AC unit in there Van, while on shore/generator power? I've seen them in homes, and installation is just a 6" hose going to the outside. They draw around 9 amps.
