Mine is a ten or eleven ft. double from Walmart. I had to tie a knot, in the end, to shorten it enough to hang properly in my minivan. The distance between anchor points is 9.5 feet.

I have a Grand Caravan that I use. I sleep in a hammock as often as I can. Mine is a 10 ft double. or so, I picked up at Walmart years ago. It is a little too long so I just tied a knot, in the end, to shorten it enough to get the right hang. You can see my setup and tour of my minivan with a...

I am from West Central Wisconsin, but I am leaving for AZ today. I will be glad to help you out when I get back in a couple weeks. If anyone needs help in the Quartzite area I am available to help out with most any van build or solar installs, while I am there too. I can even put in a pop-top...

I have been sleeping in a hammock in my Dodge Grand Caravan with a DIY Pop Top for some time now. Here is a link to my van tour.  

Thought I would add a little more background. I am not new to nomadic living. I ran away from home when I was 15 not because I didn't like my parents but because I wanted to go try out my wilderness survival skill by immersion. I am from Wisconsin and near the end of my Freshmen high school year...

I have finally subscribed to the forum after many years of reading this site and watching YouTube videos. It all started when the Second Great Depression started to have its effect on me. Thought I would lose my home so I started looking for options to provide shelter for my family. That is when...
