Just was doing some price comparison, and it seems like all the supplies i will need for the reflectix would be about half the cost of the ensolite, and about the same as the polystyrene... so the question is... is polystyrene any good/ better then reflectix/ higher r-value than reflectix?? and...

http://www.thefoamfactory.com/closedcellfoam/polystyrene.html (i don't know how to make it clickable, so maybe copy n paste?) I was thinking this material polystyrene for below where my sleeping pad will go (it looks super cushy!) and it seems to have a high r-rating. What do you guys think? The...

Hi! Thanks again for the responses, also the thread about adhesives and fiberglass was super helpful! I might try the E-6000 for something! Ok, so around the bed area, I'm tearing out the (disgusting and *moldy) padding and fabric. I'm going to reseal the windows to prevent future leakage! I...

Thanks guys! I got some 1/2 inch polyiso, and there are a few mounting boards in there, and i'm going to install one more board across the back (which there was one there when i did the tear out.) I'm going to liquid nails the wood to the fiberglass shell and then stuff the polyiso in there...

Hi All!  I'm redoing some parts of my sunrader (tearing out the back wall, and the horrible carpeting on the ceiling around the sleeping quarters). It seems most folks posting here have a metal body van; mine is fiberglass. When I tore out the back wall and carpeting, it exposed the fiberglass...

Dang... Not sure why it's not working... Here's the link again.. Www.spaceshipwolf.weebly.com

Hi all! So I found a wonderful 86 Toyota Sunrader near me. My boyfriend n I went to check it out, and we bought it! Yay! Just got it back from the mechanic with a new set of brakes and took it on its maiden voyage! The stove worked on propane perfectly! We had trouble with the electric not...

Oh my gosh! What a dream!  :heart: :heart: :heart:

haha! what an adventure! We had an earthquake in NJ a few times... but it felt like a huge semi drove past my house!

Bitty- You seem so brave to me! How inspiring that despite any weather challenge, you have preserved! Through heat and crazy wind/rain bringing branches down! I'm so glad that you moved your home before the branch came down! Phew! I LOVE storms, but the reality for me is that mother nature is...

haha, love it! ever been in tornado alley?

Beautiful van! The pics of the build out were VERY helpful!

Hi! I'm here in PA where the wind is whipping and from inside the coziness of my home, I am still scared! Not being a vandweller quite yet, I'm often finding myself thinking "now if I were living in my van how would i ___?" fill in the blank. Well today that blank is all about the impact of...

Thanks for your response! These are two possibilities I'm considering. I'm not that tall- only 5'2", so maybe the overhead space would be too much?I'm also thinking that a longer body might be good too..I have a full size mattress that I want to fit in the build out!  I'm just think ing cost...

Hi All!  Do you think it would be hard to tear out a wheelchair lift and apparatus from a specialized van? Thanks~ M :huh:

oh my gosh, I literally was just googling this and couldnt find anything, so i decided to look here, and here it is!synchronisity!!!  :heart: :D

Wow! Thank you so much! very informative! I'm planning on going with solar, and electric just feels safer to me (maybe because I have had an electric cooktop for most of my life in my home anyway!) How much solar would I need? I'm definitely unfamiliar with solar technology... I was thinking...

Hi All! I know that many folks seem to use propane stove cooktop, but would it be possible to use an electric one? Pros and cons?  Thanks! M :huh: :huh: :huh:

Thank you all for the helpful words!  -m

Hi Lovlies, My name is Morningstar. I'm just beginning my vanlife quest. I'm currently looking for a van to purchase and doing as much research as possible in order to make choices that will work for the lifestyle I am creating. My plan is to live in a conversion van of some type (do the...
