The width of a full size, but the length will need a few inches cut from it.

That was an awesome find. I have been on the look out for a camp chef, and I almost won on on eBay but was outbid at the last minute. Love the cast iron too. I picked up two small frying pans at a thrift store a few weeks back, but they have never been seasoned so I have to take care of that...

I have no intention of using any stove inside the van. All my cooking will be done outside when set up at camp.  I have been warned on several forums not to use these stoves indoors, but I am interested to learn the difference between the propane stoves that are in just about every RV, and...

Back in the day when I was in my early 20's I worked for the Armored car company and drove these vans. They were loud, cumbersome, and slow as shyt! Everything rattles in the van, and at the end of the day my body would ache from all the bouncing around. Never paid attention to the gas mileage...

Went out with the FRP to the van yesterday, It is thin enough that it can bend and mold to any shape which is s plus, how were you thinking of installing this?  Kat

Thanks, I stumbled upon a Coleman Collectors Forum yesterday, and they educated me on the ins and outs of the stove. You are correct White gas = Camp Fuel, Walmart does sell a brand that is far cheaper than the Coleman Fuel, I picked some up yesterday.  I was told to never, never, never use...

I have a few sheets of that in my shop. I use it to cut templates on my CNC machine when I am prototyping. I want some color on my roof, and since I have to insulate it anyway, I thought the fabric covered insulating board would be the easiest. When I removed the headliner, I did see an area in...

Now that's an awesome score!! Don't you just love it when they lower the price without you even asking?

Dangerous and scary! I found a product a t Walmart called "Camp Fuel", but it still scares me a tad. I also found a part to convert it to propane on Amazon so I think I am going to go that route. A little less scary to me. Kat

Browsing the interwebs this morning and I came across a craigslist ad for a group of camping items for $30. Called the guy and within minutes I was on my way.  Here is a picture of the listing. (Two person Tent, sleeping bag, Coleman two burner stove, rocket stove, cooktop toaster, jerry can...

Van Update: I did not get to tinker around with the rear AC/Heating Unit this past weekend as it was Mother's Day weekend and I had a lot going on. This afternoon I did manage to get the headliner out and those awful prisoner bars off the windows. Now I need to look into getting some window...

Thanks, I can't wait. When the UPS driver showed up yesterday with a ton of stuff I ordered I was like a kid at Christmas.  Kat

I went out this morning to get a better look, removed the doghouse then followed and marked the lines leading back to the rear heater. The AC guy said he will stop by around noon to help out, so hopefully today I will have the system capped and can remove the rear unit. Thanks Cloeanuf for your...

My lines are steel and not aluminum, I slid under the van yesterday and put a magnet on it to double check. A magnet won't stick to aluminum. I am interested in seeing what he did, because if it is just simply welding it shut, I can do that myself. Learned how to weld years ago, even have a...

Sending you a PM with my email so you can send me the pic, I would love to see how you worked it out. Thanks, Kat

I have the extended van so it is a tad longer. I am only 5'7 so I have enough room across the back. The bed is custom and actually a smidgen wider than a twin. It's just me so I didn't want to waste all the room on a larger bed. If anyone else decided to tag along, I got a tent and sleeping bag...

Just checked out this link, this is exactly where I ordered the parts from so once they arrive i should be good to go. Kat

Thanks @ratfink56 for those links and the info on the doghouses. I am about to leave now to scope out another salvage yard, hopefully I find something I can use.  Kat

The Layout I came up with this morning. Not sure if this will be the final design, but just playing around with the space.  I decided to go for the stationary bed. I am not into having to move stuff around and reconfigure things just so that I can lay down. I am also thinking about placing a...

I am not concerned about building the van, my main concern was mechanical issues. I never did much with my vehicles other than routine oil changes until now, where I jumped in and got my hands dirty, learning all about the workings of this particular vehicle. As for the van building part, before...
