This is one of the most valuable threads I have ever read here. After a local RV shop took several visits to totally destroy one if my previous trailers, I started watching YouTube and doing my own fixes. I even learned how to wire my van reading Bob Wells' articles because the YouTube videos...

Congratulations HDR. You're moving on up!  :-)

I love his channel and his attitude.  Good guy.

Congratulations!!! I hope you end up loving yours as much as I love mine!

Thank you, Gypsy! In my Aliner I built twin beds on a plywood platform.  In the Casita I enlarged the dinette bed using a plywood platform.  In both cases, the bed was too hard, and also difficult to sit comfortably on. For the van, I bought a $69.00 Coleman cot and put a 5" memory foam...

I am so happy for you, Headache. For me, a van refrigerator makes the difference between bare survival and being able to enjoy the journey. Congratulations! And thanks to those who helped you make it work!

So happy for you!

Awwww!  That makes my heart sing!  I do love my little van!  Thank you!

If you feel peaceful and happy in it, it will be perfect!  Would love to see pictures of yours when it is finished.  Good luck!
