Congratulations on making it to the road! I have a 2014 Ram Promaster 2500 (136") that I'm working on converting. Is yours the 159" or the 136"?

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who names her vehicles.

And I thought my 12 1/2 hour days with no breaks were hard! roaddog

I enjoy serving on a jury; I find the process interesting. I just wondered what to do if I got a summons when I'm living in my van and traveling. Thanks so much for your helpful replies!

I occasionally get a summons to report for jury selection. What would I do if I got one while traveling far from home? Thanks for any advice you can provide. You guys are greatly appreciated!

Where can someone find block ice? Thanks!

I feel your heart ache. My 15 year old schnauzer passed away in November 2014.  I still have my mutt, Watson, who is now 14 years old. Thank you for sharing. roaddog

I'm with you on that! roaddog

Boy, I'm with you on that!

I chose to buy a 2014 Ram Promaster 2500 specifically because I don't need all the things in a Class B, namely a toilet or dinette. I plan to have a floor, solar panels, and battery installed in February. Then, I want to live in my van for a while to decide how I want things arranged; if I don't...

Bob, Just been catching up on reading your blog. Cody is living such an awesome life thanks to you. God bless you! Sincerely, roaddog

Congratulations! In January I bought a 2014 Promaster 2500 and am loving it. I have an appointment next week at Sportsmobile-Texas to discuss my conversion and to pay a deposit to reserve a time for 2016. (They are full up for 2015.) I want to keep things simple and am mainly interested in...

I may have to make do with the panels and attic fan. Sportsmobile has no appointments available until early 2016, so I want to make my decision and then make a reservation. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, roaddog

I'm trying to make a decision on whether to have an air conditioner installed on my van's roof. I plan to have solar power and an attic fan installed. I will be doing some boondocking. The guy at Sportsmobile said that the AC would run for only about one hour on the power stored in the...

I am trying to make decisions now about AC for my van conversion. I plan to have solar power. I was told that the batteries would run the AC for only about one hour, so how will I keep cool after that? Any suggestions? (I live in Texas where the summers are blazing hot, so I need to be able to...

I got a good deal on a new 2014 Promaster 2500 in January. One problem that the 2014s have is that their brakes sometimes squeal very loudly, announcing to everyone around that you are present. However, sometimes the brakes don't make any noise at all; I don't know what makes the difference...

Too pricey for me, too. I plan to keep things very simple for the interior of the van. My main concern is getting the solar power and batteries installed. I'm going to have a couple of things done first though. Hope you're having a great day!

I plan to have a ladder rack installed on the roof of my van and then buy panels, batteries, etc. to have solar power. I read the excellent articles about installing solar power, and I understand a little of it. However, at some point during the reading, my mind fogs over. Therefore, I am trying...

I know what I want done to convert my Ram Promaster 2500, but I have no desire to do the work myself. I've searched the Internet for someone in Texas (Dallas area) who could do the work but have had no success. Do any of you have any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hey, glad to hear from another planner. I too am working on getting my van converted. I have the same idea of not installing any permanent woodwork until I've lived in my van a while to figure out how I want things arranged.
