Aha! Thanks so much! I may need to use U bolts too for my build

Your express is awesome!!! Total mobile command center :D. Love that big light on the front. What a dream.

That sounds like a great setup! I was considering doing 4x200 renogy solar panels. What brand of 100 watt panels do you have? Could I see pictures of your setup? Also, is starlink pretty reliable? Does the weather affect your internet reception?

Hi! I am new to the van life. Right now, I'm living in an apartment, and on weekends, am working to get my van turned into a livable RV. I went through the experience of "owning" a big house with a big mortgage. I felt the pressure of being able to pay my mortgage payments. I learned through...

This is a good idea. When my consumption needs increase, I'll consider this. Right now, I'm looking to maintain as low of a profile as possible, possibly keeping to the length/width footprint of the chevy for now.

Hi all! I had another thread asking about solar panels on a chevy express, and I was pointed to ladder racks as being a great way to not drill into the roof, and have something I can shift around. I really like ladder racks compared to the single unit racks that offer zero adjustability in the...

Aha! So now i know what to call these racks! Thank you. And you know what? I prefer simpler drill-less solutions, so i think your suggested ladder rack solution is great because i get the flexibility of being able to shift things around to clear my fan hood, and also maximize space, as my...

Nice! Yea id be down for a propane approach for sure, especially if it frees up space inside and outside the van. Yea i currently have a roof rack that is one big unit, and doesnt clear my desired vent fan, so i may go with one of those modular ladder racks for my needs. No drilling sounds...

Hi all! I have a plan for using as much of my chevy express' roof space as possible, and I want to know if you can find any faults in my plan/suggest alternate ways of solving this problem. I have a Chevy Express. On the roof, I want room for a 1. Maxxair fan 2. Wood burner chimney and then 3...
