I am using the Dawnking handle because I have always been an early riser and love sunrises and the promise of a new day!

So I went to Kar Tunes here in town today and talked to them about what i need in the van for electrical.  They totally understood and can do what i need in less than a day!  YAY!  I am so happy.  I will buy the agm batteries, inverter, solenoid and they will wire everything up and do the fuse...

I have been posting my build pix and getting a great education here on living on the road. Thought it was time to post a little about me.  I am not real big on the whole online presence thing but here it is in a nutshell. Having worked in the food service industry for over 40 years and am 57...

This World,  Thanks so much for your post, this is why I am so hopeful about the future and being apart of this forum is truly wonderful! Got the floor pretty much done today. Next up is the electrical system and then the walls and ceiling.  Lowes has some beadboard 8x5 that is 1/4 inch and I...

Thanks Brad, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the electric. Would like AGM batteries, at least 200 AH. Would like to power the following: Have a Whynter 45Q fridge. Coffee maker Blender The Fantastic Fan DVD player Be able to charge laptop, phone Also want to have a continuous duty...

I then insulated the walls and ceiling with 1 inch pink poly iso and then moved on to sub floor.  Used 3/4 inch plywood. Then got some engineered vinyl flooring and have started laying this in. When floor is done i will get the house electric system squared away.  The electric part is the...

Next is pix of fan in place, this was a huge accomplishment for me, as I am not much of a handyman/craftsman.

Started the build out on van and wanted to post some pix. First up is the hole I cut for the fantastic fan.

Well that did not work.

OK trying this for pix after reading in the tips and tricks.

Thanks again for this forum it has given me the courage to cut a hole in the roof of brand new van.  I anguished over this for weeks while the fan sat in the garage.  But getting ahead of myself.  Started with fatmat sound deadner last weekend, covered the wheel wells and then put strips on the...

Thanks for all the congrats really appreciate it everyone. Got some stuff for Savy, fantastik fan and cover, wynter 45qt fridge, poly iso 1 inch 3 boards to start. Also 25ft of fat mat sound deadner. Put it on the wheel wells and covered them up pretty good. Also put strips on the ceiling and...

Having a new van is an awesome feeling for sure. Looking in the back of Savy and seeing the potential for travel and adventure is the greatest feeling. Bought a few things on amazon prime, fantastic fan, fan cover, window rain gaurds, wyntner 45 qt fridge, road pro fan. I know this is Cheap RV...

I have been shopping vans pretty heavy in the last few months and had a lot of hand ringing on what to get. Bobs recent you tube video on vans pushed me. Thanks Bob! Bought a new 2017 GMC Savana 3/4 ton yesterday, barn doors, 4.8 V8, 6 speed auto trans, it is awesome and a beast! I have a good...
