Sassypickins, I have considered working this into school for academic credit. It should qualify and would possibly help with funding and resources. Ricekilla, I am thinking of working from a high-top van, which would definitely help with storage space.

Wow, lots of thoughts. Thank you everyone. I could try to respond to some of the problems that have been made clear, but I don't have any legitimate solutions yet. It seems most people realize this and have even pointed it out, but the design I've posted here is just a dream. I don't expect it...

Well, I haven't planned it to that point. However, I doubt I won't be able to find somewhere that will sell a suitable piece of glass, and I'm absolutely sure I'll be able to have it attached.

There will be four separate pieces of glass on the left, right, back, and top of the car. Hopefully they don't need to be too curved and the cost stays low. Moisture, I can't do much about that, probably won't be too different from a windshield though. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking...

Okay, it's awesome to hear so much advice. I have been given a lot of helpful questions to answer, and I'm going to do some re-working to my designs. For now, I'll address what I can. Almost There: The huge sunroof will have both a thin curtain to dim the light coming in, and a thick...

Wow, somehow SketchUp didn't cross my mind. I've used it a little before, and I could definitely make a good design in that. For yours, did you work on a premade model of a van or did you make a one from boxes?

No, not planning on stealth. I'll do more research into the refrigeration problem.

I don't know exactly what kind of refrigerator I will use, but that heat may be an issue... keep the window down? :P I made an updated version of the image with the added information from my comments pasted at the bottom, should answer anyone's questions. I believe the comments are not visible...

Sorry about that, I have it as a normal image now

Yes, it is. Were you able to see the comments on the right side? I'll see. I uploaded a PDF as an attachment, hopefully it's viewable. The added information is not included, so to see that you'll have to use a computer.

I made a blueprint of the van I hope to build in the coming years. I'm wondering what thoughts the experienced vandwellers here have on the design. Here is a link to my design. I have comments on the side further describing what is shown in the image and how I plan to use the van. To see which...

Hey, I'm Jack. I am a sophomore in high school and a prospective vandweller. Hoping to learn a little more about van life, mainly the various designs people have used for their creations. See you around!
