As a reference. this was my original plan: but that was way too tight! so I adjusted it to this plan: Rear I've change the countertop to a simple rectangle. it made the slider (which I might change to a hinged mechanism so I can easily convert it to a pass through when bikes or garage is...

main reason why I added a bench. If I remember correctly, I think I have 20" counter depth. so hallway is big enough to squeeze by another person. I'm proficient in electronics. built my own e-bike battery, and have designed some electronics. Thanks for the feedback.

Paramotor.

back from the camping trip... time to prepare for my trip out west... had a chance to review the layout and what I need to change...I knew I wasn't going to finish so again a temporary solution... unfortunately it's coming all out, right down to the bare floor again come spring... Fridge gets...

8020 bolted to floor, fridge and electrical installed for my first camping trip. Temporary counter top I had laying around so I can use it. off we go camping... my view from inside the van and about to go to sleep...on the floor rained most of the weekend... but still had a chance to get the...

Removed the back panel, haven't got swivel seats yet but might as well start prepping this area. Butt fan going in to head off for a break. Let's start working on the panels. The plan is to cover them with foam and fabric. Fan Install. straight forward. by this point I only had a few...

Windows were next. Take your time and you can get a clean cut. Slider window to be installed. added an outlet on the bumper while I was there. 8020 arrived and time to build some rough cabinets to get a feel for it. as much as I wanted a tower right behind the drivers seat, there wasn't much...

Background: Hi all! After my CRV write off which was about 50% converted (never used)... I decided to go all in on an adventure van / daily driver / work truck purchase. took me about 6 months to find a Van that almost fit my criteria. I found a PM 136 out of province and was my first vehicle...

Thanks for all the creative ideas! I was hoping to keep it simple, lift these projectors is a two person job. Trailer was on the list of options, however at the price of the trailers I require, it's not much more to get the van and a lot less hassle. I think I've narrowed it down to either and...

Here's my last project that I projected for 29 days. you'll see the projectors i mounted in the van. [video=youtube]

I was in the middle of outfitting my Honda CRV but was just written off. I have an expensive bike and Paramotor that in an ideal world could fit inside the van/suv. Budget is always a concern, and of course I'm trying to multipurpose as best I can. future goal is to go biking/hiking flying...

A little more work done this past weekend. Mounted the inverter and created holes for ventilation, they will all be hidden by the cabinets. two access holes to see status of the inverter and access to all the inverter connections. Wiring is self contained as much as possible. I don't have a...

Thanks John! Weight is always a concern with such a small vehicle and it being a 4 cyl. I will be adding some 'speed holes' to help where possible. I've started to weigh the items... MAX ALLOWED WEIGHT is 1013lbs Known Weights (506lbs): Back seats -122lbs Solar Panel 42lbs Charge Controller...

not sure how well these are, one youtuber said he shook it apart off roading. 24v 2k BTU https://www.rigidhvac.com/store/products/151800 12v 1.5k BTU https://www.rigidhvac.com/store/products/393758-rigidhvac-micro-air-conditioner-dv1910e-ac-12v-pro based on ~20BTU/sq ft. these should be...

One more update. Since I will most likely have my e-bike when adventuring, I can use my battery as a backup power in an emergency to charge the house battery for another 600wh or another 10%. I will have to build an XT60 connector to MC4 connector, should work! Then I can plug in Solar or my...

Water Pump Took a gamble with this one, I wanted a 24v unit, but did not have enough info on the threaded connector. I ended up making my own pex connector with a rubber washer, used teflon, and seems to hold a few bars of pressure. I will probably make it ghetto fab and add some tape around...

Haven't had time to continue production on the camper, but the components came in and are tested. Inverter/ Charger / ATC I've tested this unit out, I think it will work well for my needs. I'll have to wire a separate switch to a central panel, but that's easy enough. Looks like it uses...

Apparently my post got deleted for some reason. Here's my progress so far: [video=youtube] Tesla module came in. this is equivalent to a 12v 460 amp hour battery. I only plan on charging it to 90-95% and draining to 30% for long battery life, but that's still 270@12v usable amp hours. in...

2.5 more hours and lighting for one of the cabinets is complete.

I'm 30 hours into the project and roughly another 60 to go! Replaced the old floor which doubled as a table, sad to see it go. Can I fit the inverter and battery in the wheel well? Nope. Looks like just the inverter will be able to fit. starting the cabinets. they seem to fit well. and...
