    Side fold futon or rear to front tri fold bed??

    Great advice! I'm actually planning to build a space for the dogs were the center console would be which was where the TV/VCR combo lived when I got her. It's gonna serve as storage and have a 2step design so my big ol Pyrenees can keep her hips comfy! They both like to rude up front with me so...

    Side fold futon or rear to front tri fold bed??

    I was actually considering a rope platformed bed so it would hang flat if I'm on a slight angle annnnnd cuz it looks piratey AF

    Side fold futon or rear to front tri fold bed??

    I've got enough wood and material to build out 5 vans, materials thankfully aren't the issue. I've been driving the van in question for 2 years so I've got a good idea of what is working and what isn't with the current set up. Murphy's isn't an option on my low top, not in the size I need anyway.

    Side fold futon or rear to front tri fold bed??

    I have a platform bed now and it's so very restricting for my needs

    Side fold futon or rear to front tri fold bed??

    That's a great idea! I've made both to scale with paper against the drawing so it would make sense to do the same full size.

    Power Brake Hydro Boost Unit leaking...

    We found the part!! It was $250 and the tech was a little upset because he wanted to find something cheaper but better quality. He's pretty certain this one will hold out. With that age vehicle it's been challenging finding specialty parts. It took 3 weeks to get the window motors to come in but...

    Naming of vans

    Mine is named after my partner who passed away in 2018. I've been traveling the country for a long time with frequent trips coast to coast but he never was able to make the troops with me. I got my van in Feb of 2021 and it only served natural to name her Lenne in his honor. So even though he's...

    Chinese diesel heaters don't work above 5000 feet elevation. Buyer beware!

    A lot of propane heaters won't either unfortunately. I'm in the drafting passes for mine and I'm like 80% leaning towards wood stove. Something with a platform but removable in the warm season. Lots of good ideas online

    How practical is Florida in the summer?

    I wasn't planning on heading that way until the end of December and yeah, Ian came in right over top of my kids neighborhood but they've recovered pretty much so far in their little area anyway. They were out of power for like 16 days or something
