There's many posts here with pictures and notes on how to build a partition, mine included if you'd like to look at.

Hi there! I was terrified to cut into my roof, but when I finally did everything went very smooth. I used a jigsaw with a fine metal blade. It cut like butter. First thing I did was find the center and the exact place for the fan from inside the van. Using a template I traced the opening...

From one chef to another, welcome! Yes, I'm a van chef, chef. [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604]

Van build update! Soon I'll be installing a roof rack, followed by solar panels, batteries and all the stuff that goes with it. All that will be documented with pictures and comments on this thread, and videos on my YouTube channel. I will most likely need some help from some of you...

[emoji26] that has to be an insulation issue. For me, even in -15 degree weather, and I don't have Mr Buddy running all night, my van is 20 to 40 degrees warmer in the morning when I wake up, usually around 4:30am.

Hi! Welcome, and thank you for the kind words! I might have saved some but not many, as I was constantly recycling old templates into new ones. I haven't done much new in the van, except living in it, but hopefully I'll be installing solar panels soon, and not only will I have videos for my...

Yep, in PA, just a few miles from Jersey.

-36 last night, so I'm moving up to the North Pole.
