Looking for recommendations for a faucet with a pump switch, would prefer one with a sprayer. On a tight budget. thanks

Does any one out there use a submersible pump for their fresh water, Amazon has a couple that I think should work . Any comments are welcome.

Damn good point and suggestion, my original thoughts were to use the fridge as a seat while using the galley, may just get a rolling stool.

Here is a floor plan that I am leaning towards, the van will only be for me. I dont need a wide bed, and I can fit across the rear of the van. the fride will slide out to be a seat for cooking. Its a conversion van and have been living in it for 10 weeks, and plan on starting the conversion in...

Yes I was looking for the amps, trying to see if the alternator would could charge the house batteries, while driving say 4 hours a day, under normal driving conditions. my van is a 2001 e-150, and previously had a wheelchair lift, as wheel as other handicap accessories, such as push button...

Question.. What is the normal outputs of the standard vehicle alternator, while Idling and while driving. E-150 5.4 V8

I guess my main concern with doing it while living in it while building out, is the vapors emitted while staining the wood, Guess I could do it outside and allow it to dry, and then install. With careful planning I figure I can accomplish it , in small stages at the stores and move on.

The one I seen used in an apartment seemed to a decent job. It is a single hose unit, so I was thinking that in a van it would be more than enough. The way I would do it, is to place the unit, cut the hole and run a short piece of the hose to the outside. Another option would be to also duct the...

What brand of swamp cooler do you use or is it home built?

yes thats the one I saw advertised, I really didn't think it would work as advertised, 3 days is a lot to expect. Thanks

Any one use it, they claim it's not a swamp cooler. eventually will end up in texas/Florida. The price seems affordable.

My van is a conversion Van, and has one rear bench seat which Is my bed for now. The day I started this life, found a dresser, on side of the road, which worked out great for storage. I been thinking that I could do the interior rip out and insulation in a day, with out affecting livability ...

Thanks I wasn't going to do this but I just looked how easy it would be to do, and not have a AC hanging off the back end of the van

I have been living in my Van for about 8 weeks, I'm currently stuck in Mid Michigan. Once winter is over I plan on starting my conversion. However finding a place to do this is going to be a challenge. I was thinking of camping a BLM land pitching a tent to live in while the big parts of the...

I'm sure I won't do this but, has anyone ever used a portable AC unit in there Van, while on shore/generator power? I've seen them in homes, and installation is just a 6" hose going to the outside. They draw around 9 amps.

Where did you get the Magnets, any brand name/number? Seen this method on you-tube and like it! Did you put any sort of vapor barrier up? Thanks

Down the road when I start boondocking I was planning on a 1350 watt HF generator, about 430.00, I currently Stealth, and use a small invertor which will not do much more than power my laptop. Would like to put off the generator till later, and go ahead and try using just an invertor to...

My main concern is that would I be able to power the invertor/tools just using the vehicle battery while at idle?

Hello all: I currently live in my van,  and no shore power hook up where I will be working on it. I shortly will need power tools, grinder, Jig saw and Skill saw. I don't really want to invest in cordless products. Was planning on using HF tools.  How feasible is it to run the tools (about  6...

The 1/4 inch T&G sounds like a good idea, especially using magnets, I will be doing this by myself, will living in it. will use 1/4 ply wood for walls, since all of the wall space will be covered with cabinets ect. I also thought of 1/4 plywood, and cover with FRP. Did you counter sink the...
