So this is mostly a for-fun idea I had. I was thinking about ways to be more stealthy and deter people from even being interested in the van in the first place. I was trying to think of what professions/trades would appear to deal with the least value in terms of tools/things that would be...

Hi all! I think i want to go with some dome-style fans in my van conversion. However, all of the dome fans i see are exhaust only. Ideally i could buy a dome/can fan that does intake and exhaust, but i havent found this, so the next best hing would be two can fans that compliment eachother...

Hi all! I've been using a to-scale 3d model of a chevy express to start blocking out the furniture/layout of my chevy express. I wanted to show what I have so far! I have even the ladder rack 3d modeled to scale accurate to the 1/8 inch! I think I can tuck away my vent fan underneath the...

Hi! I am new to the van life. Right now, I'm living in an apartment, and on weekends, am working to get my van turned into a livable RV. I went through the experience of "owning" a big house with a big mortgage. I felt the pressure of being able to pay my mortgage payments. I learned through...

Hi all! I had another thread asking about solar panels on a chevy express, and I was pointed to ladder racks as being a great way to not drill into the roof, and have something I can shift around. I really like ladder racks compared to the single unit racks that offer zero adjustability in the...
