TucsonAZ, That looks like a really good solution. Where did you find the clear plastic box? How about a little narrative on how to? Thanks, Bob

Yes, I own a custom/hotrod 1953 Studebaker Commander Starliner Hardtop. My Stude is two tone Corvette Artic White top/Pontiac Barrier Blue bottom, and a white Naugahyde and dark blue velour pleated interior. My drivetrain is Chevy 350 engine/th350 transmission, and 4:11 positraction Camaro...

Fearnoevil, Maybe you could block out the windows you don't need by simply painting the interior window panes flat black, so the exterior window just looks like it is dark-tinted. then ignore where those windows are and insulate, panel, etc. the interior walls just as if they weren't there...

Had the same problem.:huh: No more bad links, please. :@ Bob

Here is the link to the Solar hot water build from the dropdown tabs along the top of this forum, a wealth of information. http://www.cheaprvliving.com/solar-hot-water-electricity/ Bob

Chris, Inexpensive fix. You could drill, two holes thru access panel and floor, and use a cable gun lock (Google for pic) to secure the panel. Bob

Baloo, I used to buy and keep lots of books (loved to read about anything and everything, plus mystery and detective/courtroom novels for amusement. For the last several years, I have used a Nook reader (similar to Kindle) and not only do I have access to a vast bookstore and library to read...

Congratulations, Tucson and welcome to the forum. You have scored the type of ride that I would like to have. Bob :D:D:D

This has been mentioned (and implemented by some here already), but a great solution would be to add ladder racks to the top, paint a sheet of plywood with a good grade of outdoor white, and put it across the racks to form a platform for mounting your solar panel (also gives shade to the roof...

Lugh, Only this one piece of advice... Don't let the stars in your eyes blind you as you inspect the camper. Yes, you will probably have things to replace and repair, this is normal with an older rig. Be sure to look underneath for any significant rust or road damage. Overall, the pics look...

Between the two, I would always choose the Chevy. Parts availability everywhere, from the smallest part up to replacement engines and transmissions. Lots of mechanics, hotrodders, custom builders and engine swappers choose the Chevy 350 V8 and th400 HD transmissions for lots of reasons. Just my...

stude53, because I own one that looks ,like this:

Looking mighty good, Chris! Bob

I frequent three forums, this one daily and two Studebaker forum sites (as I own a 1953 Studebaker Starliner Hardtop, and love all Studebaker cars and trucks). Also spend time cruising Craigslist looking for van related stuff. Bob

Jay, You need to secure your mike better, as I could hardly hear you on the second half of your video. Did you drop it? Thanks, Bob

Casey, No disrespect intended, but IMO, you need professional help. :D Bob

kelsieyes, Welcome to the forum:D A suggestion: Go to the top and select Blog, and when it comes up ... Along the top are dropdown lists of articles, conversions, etc. There is a wealth of information there that will prove valuable as you consider this lifestyle. Good Luck, Bob

Jay and Margie, Wonderful news!! Looking forward to your build! Jay, take lots of pictures so you can make up some more "How we did it!" videos later . Plan it so you can add a hightop later, without having to tear up your build-out too much. Some of the old TransVans just had standup room...
