    Odd issue with my RV roof fans

    I've got 2 of the same basic model of Maxxfan that were there when I bought the van. They move a lot of air, but have some quirks. The one I can't figure out is that sometimes they will start up when I turn them on, run for 3-10 seconds, then shut off. At first I thought it turned off if there...

    $400 Van Renovation

    I've finished my modifications to the pre-built van I bought a couple of years ago. I want to use the space better, the cabinets it came with hold some stuff tidily, but they left a large amount of space unused and unusable since I can't stand up or even set up a decent sized table in there. I...

    Electric Fridge Selection

    Before I finalize some renovation plans, I need to choose what fridge I'm going with. What are good places to look? I've been browsing home depot, best buy, and a couple of other home stores near me. I'm going to look at the larger furniture stores in my region to see what they have. I can go...

However, I don't have enough experience with vehicle ownership so I struggle to even guess how long old would be cheaper than new. I am...

    No Insulation [Snowbird Hightop Van Build]

    The van I'm in now was converted by the guy who sold it to me. As such it sucks for my use case. This year I am going to commit to vanlife more and plan my own build. The idea of no insulation started as a thought experiment to try and avoid the hassle and cost of installing insulation and the...

    Hatchback Shelf Installation Idea Thread

    Hello everyone! I've spent some time in my hatchback with one of my first setups and I learn more and more about what I should do differently. One thing I've learned is that I need to maximize my space even more. Unfortunately, I can't remove the seats of the current hatchback I own, so I...

    Newbie Introduction!

    Hello everyone! My name's Carme and I'm starting my build to transition to car life. I'll be starting out in the hatchback I own now, and will save for a Prius to do a build in. I've been thinking about nomad life for years and I've had some practice with camping in my car so I'm finally...
