I had some trouble getting pictures on. Then I found a thread where others did as well. Now I am ready to try posting what I have done so far. I bought a 92 GMC rally 15 passenger van with 124,000ish miles. I took the seats out which was an ordeal and then took the carpet out. There is this...

That is my plan as well. For now I am working on a van and will eventually do a cargo trailer to pull behind. I have a job where I can get traveling jobs for 13 week contracts and will be doing that. We will have the trailer for most of our "living" and sleeping in the van. Then on weekends...

For getting in and out of the van a stool is good. You can use a milk crate even. Tie a rope to it and hang on when u get in so you can pull it up and put it on passenger seat. Home depot has long handle reachers that you can use to pick stuff up. Also, ice ice ice that back fpr first two...

Anyone ever see or use one of these? I have propane for heat but was looking for solar lights and found these. Did a forum search and did not see them anywhere. http://www.amazon.com/d-light-D20-Solar-Home-System/dp/B00G7NKH7A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_lg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1FP6T7FXD6X3ECAR68CE

A little late in the posting game for this thread but I used black stove paint on my aluminum pot I use with my alcohol stove. I have also used it on stainless. It is rated for high temps. Got it at home depot in the paint section.

I am able to sew and will just cut some sheets down and sew new corners. One thing I am curious about: Does anyone have their mattress fixed so that in the event of an accident it does not go flying? Having had experience with a fatal car accident I think about these things. I am going to...

Just planning my van layout and after the floor the bed will be the first actual structure. I am short enough and the van is wide enough that I will make a platform. I was looking at cheap foam mattresses at ikea and also some foam at wallyworld. For my job I often have to cut foam for...

I worked on the seats today. They unfortunately did not have locking nuts. I started out working alone and trying to grind the bolts off one of the single seats. I still don't have that seat out even though the bolts are ground all the way down. I think I am going to have to try and drill...

Thanks. I read about the foam and interior rust right after writing the post. I was out working tonight and it was pretty warm in there so maybe I will not need much insulation. I ground off the bolts for one seat that I could not budge the bolts. The angle grinder got things pretty hot even...

I found this van about a month ago and almost bought it (120,356 original miles). Then I changed my mind because it was so old and did not have airbags. Then I found a great 2007 van that was sold out from under me on my way to the bank. Then I found several more but I kept thinking about...

Thanks. I have been reading a lot of posts and getting lots of good tips. While I was at the bank today getting the money for my van the guy sold it to someone else. I hope the extra money he got for it was worth the bad karma. But there will be another one out there...probably by the end of...

Hello all. I have been thinking of getting a van just for camping for a long time but now it has morphed into future vandwelling plans. I just got a 2007 GMC Sierra passenger van that I am going to convert. Life will be less complicated in a couple of years and I am planning to do some...
