Not totally sure what your layout is going to look like, but my general rule of thumb is put the fan above the bed. Gives me a nice breeze while im trying to sleep. Although I could also see an argument for putting above wherever you plan to cook (if you ever plan to cook indoors).

Thanks for the advice! Should I be wiring them in series? Would that be more efficient?

Hey everyone! I just installed my first solar setup and I wanted to run some things by you guys to make sure I didn't mess anything up. I have 2 100 Watt Renogy Solar Panels, a 200aH Renogy Sealed Battery, and a Rover Elite Charge Controller. I live in Phoenix Arizona, and currently the peak...

Hey all,  I have a Chevy Express 3500 with just a standard van roof that I am planning to live out of. I work online teaching English and do some freelance writing, as a result I spend many hours a day sitting in a chair. My current office chair will not fit in my van, so I was wondering if...

Hello again everyone! It’s been awhile since my last update but the Van has been coming along nicely so far! I had a question for you guys about the gaps between my ceiling and my walls, how would you guys cover that up? I can’t really drill into it since there’s no ribs, and it’s too uneven to...

That really simplifies things, thanks! It's clear I was making this more complex than it needed to be lol  For the underlayment, does that go between the plywood and the laminate?Or between the plywood and the floor of the van itself?

Makes sense, thanks for the advice! Is there anything I can do to even out the floor before putting the plywood down? Or does that not really matter? I don't want my floor to flex or squeak too much if I can help it

Hey folks!  I’ve been building out my van for the past few weeks and I’ve gotten to the floor part of my build! I installed noico sound deadener on the floor of the van and was wondering what I can do to make sure my floor is even without damaging the sound deadener? Would screwing through the...

Got it! I was thinking maybe using some duct material and building a vent into the wall to have it come out of? That way I can choose where the air ends up going

Thanks for the advice! Would using the blower in the back drain my car battery too fast? I'm trying to decide if I want to take it out before I start doing walls etc

Do you think its something that needs to come out? Or could I use it as a space heater while the van is idling?

Sorry, here’s the pics!!

Hey everyone! Finally bought my van, it’s a 2017 Chevy Express 3500. It’s an old border patrol van and has a few quirks that I was hoping to get some more info on. Firstly, it seems to have spray foam insulation already applied, I’ve attached pics and was wondering if anyone knows if it looks...

Is that something I'll be able to smell or feel? What should I be looking out for when I check out a used RV?

Wow thats awesome, I would have never thought of that, there really is an app for everything! Thanks for the info, Directional antennas don't seem so scary to me now haha
