Besides the usual pollution concerns for air intakes, in light of the 'unprecedented' Canadian wildfire smoke moving around various areas I wondered about air filtration quality for vehicle living. Maybe those folks in Western North America with more frequent experience can share what they know...

I will look into both leads, thank you.

I covered this and more in a post here. In short that option is probably illegal to pull in there and work, you will be noticed, I honestly think that's a bad/dumb idea. It might work for some people to work outdoors in parking lots but not for me. Thanks for the details, this and probably...

Thanks, I called a few local places that have storage units and shipping containers and they didn't allow work in them. Some storage facilities that had electric removed it as people were living/sleeping in the units themselves. The Northeast in general seems to have more restrictions as even...

Thanks for the info, some of it's new, some I was aware of. I wonder how all the regulations differ between individual states and their local municipalities, maybe some locations are more amenable for either landlord or renter or both to get something like this done if both parties can be...

This thread is for those of us who don't have a garage or work space to work on a conversion or finish one. It seems the only places to post wanted ads for work spaces online are this forum, brand or type-specific vehicle forums, local subs on Reddit, Craigslist and Facebook but not everyone...

I managed to get some work done but am still looking for another garage to finish my van in the Northeast area - Central NY, Upper NY including the Capital District, Western MA, VT, NH and Maine. If I hear of any places I'll post here but it seems even after these past 3 years of changes it's...

Thanks I didn't think of hangars I will give some local places a call. I did find a garage via Craigslist, I expanded my range and found some places even some with an adjacent room to sleep in so the places are out there it just takes timing and patience to find them. Besides cold calling real...

Without getting too personal I should have added that I don't have a place to stay, I'm currently homeless with a partial van build and I won't be able to work out of the van as I have what I need in storage but no space to work out of. Most storage units do not allow work inside or outside...

I'm posting this thread for myself and others looking for short term garages for rent for van conversion projects in the Northeast USA area. I am still looking for a place to finish my project anywhere in 11 NE states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut...

I couldn't find a section for plumbing/kitchen sink/water systems so I'm posting this here. Having researched a variety of kitchen sink water systems I am having difficulty finding either USB, 12V electric or manual hand pumps made from quality parts such as stainless steel, brass and silicone...

I need an electrician experienced with van electrical systems, solar panels, 12V, aware of electropollution and shielding options, etc sometime this July-September 2021. Location is between Hartford CT & Springfield MA area and there are lots of hardware and electrical supply places here. I...

I searched but couldn't find a Google Maps page of van conversion companies and services located in the USA or entire world on one map. Maybe the community can crowd-source and create such a visual list? Maybe an admin could use a google account to create a viewable map with placemarkers as a...

Well theoretically you can be harmed anywhere, not just a major city or area with known crime. You can also be hurt outside your vehicle even if it was outfitted with expensive kevlar. If you are aware of the increasing protests, riots, homelessness, etc in the USA and world then it's a...

Thanks for the replies so far, it looks like I can post now. I have a few more threads to wrap up and then I'll be searching the forum and updating my posts so others can also find some answers.

I'm looking for healthy and safe ecological alternatives for glues and adhesives that will be used to install new windows, fan vents and other metal, glass and related products onto the metal body of the van. Urethane/polyurethane glues/adhesives seem to be the basic standard when modifying...

The walls of the Promaster vans and most vehicles in general are very thin. Is there any way to thicken and strengthen the metal walls from the inside without adding too much weight? I'm also concerned about stray bullets or direct bullets passing thru the walls. I've searched for...
