It's a winner! I tried this recipe twice with delicious results. Thanks for posting it Theadyn !

Nice looking van ! Good luck with the transmission repair !

Nice van ! That is a perfect blank slate!

Nice van! Looking forward to pics of your build. I installed a Maxxair roof fan on mine and really like it. I can leave it open during rain storms without water coming in. What area will you be traveling in? I use reflectix for insulation but I live in the humid south and want to keep heat out...

I picked up a Stansport Duel Fuel single burner recently . It is on clearance at REI plus I had a coupon so it was cheap. It runs off of butane or propane canisters making fuel easy to find. Ive only tried it with butane but it looks like a good option if one is already carrying propane for a...

Good luck on your new adventure! You've come to the right place for helpful information!

Welcome to the forum! Nice videos, keep posting as you build your van !

A drill and a jigsaw were my most used power tools during the build. I cut more metal with the jigsaw than I did wood.

Sure Do ! I prefer an Eno Doublenest for solo trips. I have a large Mayan Hammock that I use every night I'm not in the van, most comfortable thing I own !

The area where Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama meetup is nice this time of year. Plenty of views to be had here such as CloudLand Canyon, Little River Canyon and anything around Lookout Mtn. The spring Flowers start coming up in mid March .
