Thankfully my mother and I reconciled. I can now slowly work on the van and retire in a few years. I hope to get it ready for some long camping trips to test my progress.

If I was full time cold weather camping I would do a small rocket type wood stove. You just need to like smelling like a fireplace.

I wanted it to but the cotton sponge effect turned me away to this polyester version. More pricey and I will still have the foam board too. https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Sound-Insulation-Padding-Thermozite/dp/B006LNWE7W

I bought a low top conversion van and later found out they no longer make them due to the high roll over death rate when full of passengers. There are stabilizers you can purchase to  make weight distribution and driving control improved. For mine it is this one and I won't feel safe with...

If I have enough solar panels this will be on my bucket list for humid areas.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0ZDD2/?coliid=I1O73LOR6S61KS&colid=2T4HFFXVBBPRU&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I bought a van and joined this forum last month because I was going homeless. Things have changed for the better and now I can slowly do my van build instead of tossing everything in the back and heading to the woman's shelter...I am responding because of my initial visit to the woman's shelter...

Great series....I wish I could understand the wood framing part. I think I will have to put back the ugly dodge molding because of my lousy (non-existent) carpenter skills. I could resort to modge podge.

I just bought a van like this with 11 windows. I will first tint all the cabin side windows 5% limo dark and insulated. The windshield will be insulated and clear but plan on getting the outside window blanket later. The side cab and rear windows will be tinted either 50% to 36% because I am...

Was scary to watch since I just found out the 1998 passenger dodge van I bought has a high roll over rate. .  I need those Japanese mechanics to work on mine. I can't believe this safety feature for my van is $450.00. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ras-4611

I would keep it and make a swivel. Might keep the dog off your lap when he wants to see out. Only you can make the final decision.

Hope I didn't goof by putting the silver side up ......It is cut now and thinking....I don't know what I am doing. I am not gonna glue to down till I get everything moved Don't want to tear it all up. Looks just like Styrofoam.

I paid cash and only needed liability. If I had a bank loan I was told to keep the passenger seats in it for the photo session because cargo is more expensive than passenger or commercial verses recreational.

boy ...You sound like me. 58. Too young to retire and too old to be with roomies and rent.

Just bought my van last week. I am in awe at your story. I hope to find a tribe or two in time myself. I won't be going out yet though still have a job. I would think many are up North around Utah were there are mini Grand Canyons...one right after another....around Moab then into Colorado...

Did a quick wash and wax for the truck portfolio...lol. I will try to get this ad up on the trade post and craigslist before morning.

Actually Amica, my insurance just called about the added VAN on my policy  to make sure it was not going to be a DWELLING. Go figure.... I reassured them I will use it for commute and reminded them how hot it is in Vegas right now. I asked about a policy I need for if I do make a dwelling out of...

Sounds like a better deal than mine. I just got a 1999 Dodge Ram B3500 15 passenger conversion with 93,000.  Defintely get up some photos and even make some videos for You Tube. I love to watch this stuff.

Yes the van seller gave me a heads up on a good priced air conditioned storage to show items there as you sell them ...keeping your address private. Esp if I end up getting a shared rent place. Also my neighbor will feed my cats if I can't take them with me. The storage is good especially the...

I am looking at apartments so I can return to my job till things get more settled. No I can't live in the van here right now. I need to decide on a permanent domicile state and Nevada seems the best choice though I am drawn to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.The van needs a fan in the ceiling to...

Welp I just watched BOB's YT video and FELT LIKE HE WAS TALKING TO ME. ...I was a Registered Nurse for 25 years and became homeless in 2004. My family took me in here in Las Vegas. I have only held part time retail jobs since then to pay for expenses. .....I have been watching Van Dwellers and...
