 Some jobs I can think of that would work with a travelling lifestyle: Road constuction.  These guys are always on the road, living away from home.  It's not steady income but if you work for 4 months your could probably travel for 8.  Pretty good pay but long hours.  Hot dirty work.  Don't...

Made some progress today but I didn't snap any pictures while I was making videos.  I'll take some in the morning to add.  Made the front slide out for the bed and the slide out for my refrigerator.  

I'm all about learning this stuff and your question was good

My fridge showed up today!  I'm so happy.  It's much quieter than I expected, even pleasant sounding.  Just a nice hum you can barely hear.  The best part is it fits.  I would have had to turn the fridge the other direction to use any of the Dometic units because their door opens front to back...

Not the Ideal battery by a long shot but I scored a matching pair of group 27 deep cycles today for $32 (the core charge).  I haven't tested or tried to charge them but they both had high 12's for voltage on a simple carbon pile 100 amp machine we have at work.  If they get me through the set up...

I ordered the Norcold fridge from amazon deals wharehouse who I mistakenly thought was amazon.   They are a third party seller and my fridge hasn't even left their place yet according to fedex.  i called amazon to complain and they told me I could expect it on tuesday or file it as lost and get...

Little more progress and one more picture.  I got the front door made and mounted tonight after work.  I only had about 1 hour of daylight by the time I got home but i made the most of it.

Feel free to point out anything I have wrong here.  This is the equipment I have picked out to run my van and I could really use some feed back. I am building a camper from a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country.  I'm trying to keep all my electrics 12volt.  When I plug into shore power I only want to...

Little more progress on the van last weekend but not as much as I hoped for.  I had to work until 3 on Saturday and got interrupted after that.  It was a really good interruption though, I sold my old pickup! Proceeds from selling the truck I ordered the single most expensive thing I need.  A...

If he already has a 400 block I would just rebuild that.  A 383 is a 400 crank in a 350 block. http://www.scroungers.net/t521-chevy-v8-bore-stroke-chart If you have a 400 that needs a rebuild, rebuild it to a 400.  There is no reason to spend more money to build a smaller motor. If it were me...

This guy has a very interesting door on his bathroom in a sprinter.  FF to about 9:30 into the video to see what I'm talking about.  might be something to get your bathroom bigger and smaller.  

Worked on the van again today.  I'm not much of a carpenter but I'm trying.  Wasted a pretty nice piece of wood today making mistakes but I did make progress. I got the top rail all notched out for hinges and slide outs to support the flip out portion of the top bunk. Had one of the doors...

I got the cabinet mostly finished.  Still have to make doors, drawers, and shelves.  Also made another video.    Bradley fits pretty well.

I got quite a bit done today  here's the part 3 video: 

They are steel on mine.  Maybe the 08 and newer are plastic?  Unless they are military grade magnetic plastic. I'm going to build another cabinet or shelves in the rear of the main counter that is separate and quick detachable so I can lift it out easily for battery access.  The batteries are...

Worked on the van some more today.  Filming myself and trying to explain what I'm doing makes me appreciate the really well made videos out there on youtube.  I got the seat put back together and talked about what got me into vans when I was younger.   Here's part 2:  And a couple pictures a...

They will be separate beds.  one on the floor one on an elevated platform with about 10 inches of overlap I'll check out that REI.  we don't have one of those stores near me but online is always an option The only advantage I see to the alps mountaineering is the extra padding on the pillow...
