We got the bed/ couch/ storage mostly constructed this week. :D :cool: 

Well Hello All! We have been working, saving and putting money into our van. this is where we are at so far..  This past week I took it to work and welded up all the holes and cut out a couple chunks of rust and welded in fresh steel. Then this weekend we went lumber shopping and got all...

We're in Wisconsin so it does get humid sometimes. Also that's all they had at Menards. I had $140 gift card, so I got the battery and that. I can always return it for lumber hah!

Thanks a bunch for the input everyone.  Jonyjoe thank you for that chart, I've been trying not to use much of this battery as much as I can. The 2 amp I already had. So just a regular battery charger will do?  Also I think the roof fan would be just overall better for us. I will probably be...

How can I run my laptop off 12v? Do they make a conversion kit or something? Next we really need a roof fan because it's starting to get really toasty in here even in shade and the windows down.

Im thinking of doing the floors and walls this upcoming week. Were going to be in more hot weather than cold, is it even worth putting insulasion in at this point? Would it keep it cooler? all were going to be running is a fan until we can afford ac, but that wont be for a while. Also has...

Upgraded to a 170RC battery and a 500W inverter. Much happier with this setup.

Yes, Its very ugly. But I used what I had and did it in the 40 degree rain. so first thing i will do is get it mounted. then ill run bigger cable with better connections. Im also upgrading to a 500 w inverter soon. Also found a place where my gf works where I can hook my trickle charger up for...

Hey guys, So my other half and I went to the local hardware store (menards, the only place we have unfortunately) and looked at batteries and an inverter that would fit our $130 budget.  We ended up buying an FVP brand marine battery. The guy at the store told me RC and AH are the same thing (...

Got a 110 ah marine battery and a temp 140 inverter and temporarily installed it. Also hooked up a solenoid, I've had laying around for a while. I'm not sure if it's the right kind. There are no numbers or anything on it. Could someone let me know if this is correct? Also installed some...

Hello fellow dwellers and Bob! We watched you live stream the other day in our van in the pouring rain from walmart parking lot. lol!  My girlfriend and I have had this idea for a few years now. Finally, we decided to pull the trigger and go for it. WE were Sick of living a life style, where...
