I'm assuming you put down plywood before laying the laminate. Is there different thicknesses? If so, what thickness did you use?  Thanks!

Great ideas guys! Thank-a-million. Looks like I'll be ditching my crockpot! I use it now regularly. I like to make one large easy meal and then eat on it for a few days. Gonna be a lifestyle change for sure. I'll be investing in a DO now too. I have one, but it's huge and we never used it, so...

There is so much information out there and I just need a damn shopping list. And stat, because this warmer weather we are having in New England isn't going to last. Can you help me! Every body has a paragraph opinion. I'm looking for your comprehensive lists. I'll select from there. Looking for...

I'm beginning to get rid of my stuff in parallel to building out my van.  What are some things you find you use the most for road cooking? Maybe some unexpected things? What are some kitchen items/tools that have really made cooking on the road easy. For me it's not hard to get rid of things...

I'm the type of person that would hangout in either of those situations and have the best time.

This is reassuring. Always good to hear from someone who has experience with a similar van as mine. Not really any rust on the body. Interior was in great shape (But I ripped it all out to customize it.) A leak in the air conditioner as I can see some damage to the wood right near it. I've only...

Haha! Not currently in the business or trading those kind of services.  :blush:

That makes sense. Come to think of it, I had the runaround in Boston with my 1974 Yamaha RD250. No one would touch it. Had to go up to New Hampshire. They were at least honest though - all the places I called said they weren't interested in working on an old bike. Sending you a message now.

I just looked this Quartzsite up. That is insane. Like Burning Man insane.

VERY good to know about the AC. I think our vans are similar and I' looking at ripping that AC out and replacing it before summer comes around. I've got dogs and the current system definitely has a leak. I need to look into how much energy it pulls and whether its worth having at all, or maybe a...

Well if anyone knows how to disconnect the copper wire attached to the bottom of this mechanism. I'd love to know how. Until then I'm at an impasse for moving forward. I don't want to damage any major system to the point where it will make updating over-complicated.  Here is a picture of the...

New England - Tell me about it! It's killing me. I'm only doing this here because I've got a design project to wrap and access to tools.  What is Q?  Good to know about the refrigerator only running on propane when not on shore. I've no experience with RV amenities, electrical work, or...

Interesting. I did think about the safety of separating the items. But I also think utilizing vertical space is smart for the electrical. Right now it is all attached to the floor everywhere. I don't mind moving stuff around. I know what I'm getting into by messing with this stuff. But that...

I practically stole it at $1000. I think I'll go with updating the converter (first learning how) and the battery, because it looks like it's been put to bed whiskey drunk and hung up hungover. I do have 3 way fridge, which I'm not touching. Nor the sink. All looks good there. To your point, I...

Ha! I'm not sure about anything! According to the manual I have, hot water heaters on the Xplorer and the Xtravan (the one I have) "are not available." Which is tragic, because I hate anything to do with cold, which is why I'm leaving New England.

High-top. Sunken floor down the strip in the middle by the kitchen. Not in the back. Electric was working, propane was working (but not sure about heat) and not sure about plumbing. No water in the tank. But the guy I got it from assured me it did. I trust him alright. I disconnected some...

I'm wondering if it would be smart to put all the systems organized (water heater, water pump, water tank, electric/solar system) in one spot. Maybe on the floor and mounted to some boards in the back of the van. Right now is all over the place. Driving me crazy how its all just drilled into the...

The propane tank is under the van behind the duel doors on the passenger side. It's kinda rusty but it connects and works because to stove works. Not sure where I'd put a water heater, but I want to get it now so I can include it in the build. I'm looking to do an outdoor shower. Any brand...

Smart ideas here. I definitely already disconnected both batteries before I messed with anything.  I've taken a bunch of picture, but I'll draw them out too. I do want a full understanding before I pull it out, that's why I just worked around it (which was a giant pain in the ass, btw!) I...

No, sorry. I meant I'd like to eventually add one. If that effects any ideas or suggestions.
