Greetings!

Preliminary mezurin' is done. On the right side, where a pull-out extension could go, there is a generous 7-1/2" from the edge to the sink underneath. Slides would go to the rear of the counter (plenty of room) and the front (1" available on the top; 1-3/4" underneath). The sink was installed...

(Hmm. Having a bit of trouble with the scissors this morning. Can't seem to get rid of the box above.) Thank you for the thoughts on this! That possibility calls for more measuring. The joke around here is that that's my favorite thing to do. Truth is my favorite is van Tetris. Measuring...

Thank you very much for this information! I had seen some 6" slides on Amazon, but there were quality complaints. We used to have a Rockler locally. I bought supplies to recane a set of chairs there. The slide out extension would not need to support much weight (although no one likes...

My husband encouraged a test drive with the partially filled 3 gallon jug in the van (vs. Prius) "just to see if it's a problem." (A First World problem, in any event, as in "Oh my! My fresh, clean water in an overpriced container is noisy!") The verdict: not a problem! I don't get it. It...

I couldn't agree more. Our first van conversion evolved over 15 years. BTW: We are solidly in the "No Holes in the Roof" camp--one of many reasons we don't have an RV.

There is a lot of wisdom in that, and I am sure you are no stranger to repurposing, either. Personally, I thrive on "making things from other things". It's fun, and sometimes there's no viable alternative from any source, at any price. On the other hand, a lot of solutions are out there, if...

My mother is still living, and still acquiring kitchen gadgets. We could pool our mom's goodies and start a museum, maybe.

Hey. It's the little things, 'ya know?

Interesting information, and explains why I've been able to borrow bits and pieces from this and that. There's been a whole lot of sloshin' going on this morning! Noise varies considerably across containers. The jug I have is the worst--not just sloshing, but also a drum-like "boom" with...

Ouch. You're right, and that's a problem. I actually have two. One is still in the box fresh from Amazon. The other came from an innovative Etsy seller. He made a simple adapter with a 3D printer that can be used in place of the spigot to accommodate an included USB pump. I've always been...

Gulp. Another "thing" I didn't think about before "designing" and constructing my teeny-tiny sink/counter area: the water jug is noisy when it sloshes! The Once Van had a 6 gallon round water bottle with a manual "dolphin" pump. It was quiet, whether partly or completely full. This is the...

This project has really come along, in spite of my training wheels. To take it to the next step, I would like to add a 6' wide pull out extension to one side of the counter. Is it possible to mount "regular" (side mount) drawer slides to the underside of the counter and then fasten the...

Make sure you have plenty of gas in your tank before leaving the grounds (unless you drive a hybrid). If you camp, look into which areas cater to families vs. late-night groups. Enjoy!

Oh, Maki. I am glad you missed (most) of that.

Thanks for the info. about unsnapping screens and the encouragement to give things a try. For the side door screens, I did buy some plastic pony clamps that are easy on the hands. I had to buy a set to get the size I needed, but the price was right and I ended up putting the next size up to...

Welcome!

Welcome!

Ya'll (grin) have been a huge help on this little (big to me) project! I went with 1/2" birch plywood, and cut the 9" hole for the drop-in sink with an aptly named compass saw yesterday. After toying around with the dollar store vinyl floor tiles, I decided not to use them. Instead, I'll try...

Close the thread? Close the thread?! No pics from Kamp Koon, etc.? I hope you will reconsider, 'cause we really enjoy your posts.
