I use a little non pressurized backpackers alcohol stove in my minivan conversion. Nowhere near the BTU’s of propane but space is at a premium here and it’s tiny and cheap and fuel stores safely in a quart size plastic soda bottle. P.S. I don’t want to harsh your thing there, but if your rice...

Initially I will see what the temp difference is between the upper and lower freezer compartment using a couple digital thermometer. After that I will experiment with vertically and then horizontally placed sheets of foam.

Great idea. Thanks. I think I’ll try some styrofoam sheets first. Probably repurpose the foam they use in packaging. I can just tape it together while experimenting.

Freezer side is much much smaller. I use the big side as a fridge and need PART of the freezer side as a fridge.

I think I will try that. I have a digital thermometer that I can place the probe inside to check it. Thanks.

I have an ICECO VL60 Dual Zone 12 volt chest fridge / freezer. The VL60 has two separate compartments with two top opening doors. Most of the freezer compartment is empty because I usually only use about 1/3 of it. Before I start experimenting, I was wondering if anyone has sectioned off a part...

That was very interesting. As a former cabinetmaker I used Titebond glue everyday but never would have thought to use it for that purpose. Did the guy you saw at the RTR that built the box for his RV use the sheets with Titebond 2 method? Any idea how many years before you saw it that he had...

Hmm, that’s a good idea. Is it a big deal to install a locker on the rear wheel of a box van? Also, Dodge Promasters are front wheel drive so I wonder if it’s possible to put a locker on them? Seems like both FRONT wheels getting power could be a great trade-off vs the cost to install 4WD on a...

I stealth camp in nice beach areas in Southern California all the time in my built out Sienna. Doubt I could pull that off with a plain box van.

A pickup with a camper won’t work for me. I dont want an ambulance for two reasons… One is the creepy factor and the other is that all those nice built in storage compartments won’t work for the interior layout I plan I want.

A newer fancy tall Transit van screams RICH GRINGO on the road way waaaay more than a plain white box van ever could though.

Ha, forgot about that one!

No, I really haven’t made a decision yet. I’m here because I’m wondering if I have missed a pro or con. Also, when I make a decision I rarely look back.

I have been living full time in a Sienna minivan for the last 18 months that I converted into a super cool and comfortable mini camper so I know what I want and need. Soon I’ll be buying a used Ford Transit van (long or extended bed w/ medium or high roof) OR a used 10’-12’ non dually box van...

By the way; for free unlimited movies and TV shows, I‘ve been using www.MovieBoxPro.app for a couple years now. Ive been ok with the free plan, but if you want better resolution then you can upgrade for about $25 per year. The only emails I ever get from them are when they add new episodes to a...

My Visible plan stayed at only $25 per month. A friend that I referred before they ended the party plan (who never referred anyone) is only paying $25 per month too.

Nice project. You have so many skills. I'm still deciding on whether to get a tall Transit, Promaster or a box van so I'll be following...

I just saw one of these locks (or very similar) today on a full size Ford E250 van. He installed ONE at the BOTTOM of the front passenger door so it spanned across the front passenger door and on to the side sliding door. When I clicked the Amazon link in your post I got a notification that the...

I'm so glad your experience was better than mine. Fortunately I have only had to deal with Visibles "customer service" twice. Once when I started 1.5 years ago because the switch took a few days longer than it should have. The second time was last month when I tried to change debit cards and...

I'm living full time on the road. Car insurance is with esurance because it has been the cheapest. Boat liability insurance has been with Progressive because they were the only one that would insure my old sailboat. I use Liberty Mutual for renters insurance because it was the least expensive...
