Thank you so much.

Never mind. Great group of people here. Looking for referrals is too much to ask. I shouldn't have bothered.

You know, it really sucks when illness prevents you from converting your own van and you're forced to look for others who will do a good job without ripping you off. I've been ripped off already. Bob with all his big talk about he and his forums helping people and here I am, without even the...

Good points. I'm near Prescott AZ. I think if I could find someone to help me install the floor and frame out the walls, I could just buy a sink unit from Ikea. That's a great idea. I think I may need someone to build a row of open cabinets though. I don't think I trust Craigslist. I just...

Unfortunately, Awesome Possum can't help me build out my van, so I'm looking for a referral to an experienced carpenter (well reputed van conversion co) who can install a floor, sink and one row of open cabinets in my van.  Awesome Possum is great for DIY and if not for my autoimmune issues, I...

Good point. It was a local mechanic well acquainted with pack rat damage, who recommended degreaser. With neighbors using it for 4 years, so far no problems. Before degreaser, friends spent 7K 2x after rats destroyed the wiring harnesses in their two vehicles. After 3 years using degreaser, no...

I know this is a problem for some folks so, I thought I'd share how to prevent rodents from going after your wiring in your engine.  The wiring contains soy and that entices rats/mice. The solution?  Degreaser. I've been staying with friends in my rv in AZ for 3 years. I spray my engine wiring...

I've been lurking for a while getting acclimated  to the idea of van life and balancing peace with social connections. I'm not sure that's as easy as it sounds. I hope to finish my van by June/July and then hit the road.  It feels like entering an abyss...  I hope to learn more about how so many...

Hi all... Lurking forever. Finally took the plunge and bought a van to convert. I bought everything I need for solar, but can't afford to pay someone to install it all. Is there anyone in the Prescott AZ area who can help with wiring? It looks like a passenger van wiih windows, but the black...

Sorry Posted to wrong forum.

Can yeti's be expanded? Did you install the rack yourself? How much solar do you have?

Yikes, was that drawing them down 100% only one time?

I liked the almost maintenance-free, draw down and longevity aspects of lithium. I'd budgeted money for power vs furnishings. I could be wrong, but I'd rather spend it now instead of later with fried agm batteries. Thanks..

Thank you for your feedback :thumbsup:

Well, that's pretty depressing...

So, are lithium batteries a bad idea for a van conversion?

Scratch that. Can't afford it. Has anyone made their own rack to support panels?

What kind of rack do I need on my Fird Transit 148 medium roof to support 3 200w panels? (Planning for the future:)

If I can ask, where did you get your brackets?
