    Flooring question - What to do with the side areas

    Yesterday I bought a 4x8 sheet of plywood for part of the Yeti's flooring. I knew I needed more than that - there's about 12' to cover - but I wasn't sure exactly how much, so I decided to wait until I got home and did some more measuring.<br><br>But now that I'm looking more carefully at what's...

I've been mostly looking at passenger vans or cheap small RVs, mostly because of the insulation issue which is already taken care of with those. But these two cargo vans are tempting me.

    Interesting RVs from the past
