Thanks Desert... I hope you have been well too. I missed the community here.

It's Been Almost A Year... Hey all - It's been almost a year since my last post here on my thread. I have been getting reacquainted with the community the past couple weeks, since I have now settled down in a new state. I have been going through Bob's videos on YouTube the past week or two to...

Sad to see you all had to disperse. I guess I jinxed it by deciding not to go, just kidding. Looking forward to Winter RTR and hopefully less issues. Take care everyone on your travels back to wherever you are going. Try and keep cool with that Southwest heat.

Hammock looks comfy!

Awesome work Tequila!

Nice work Baloo!

High Broadband YouTube Versions of My Previous Post Imperial Shuttle Van Tour 1.5 Sneak Peek I am posting a video on Sunday of the progress of the van so far after having the floor and bed installed.  She is finally coming together and could not be more excited going forward.  I still...

I picked up three of those blue Ozark Sleeping Pads at Wally World to cut into strips to insulate the ribs, then tape. I just want to confirm that these are closed cell. The description says they are Polyolefin, which I read is non-porous. Does this mean it is closed-cell? It also does state...

Awesome... This Hull Liner is what I needed as I wanted to go this route after the insulation is installed. Thanks for the info and link.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!

Anyone recommend a good adhesive that is safe for fiberglass. Would like to mount wood pieces to my high top so I can insulate in between and have something to screw into for the paneling over the insulation. Thanks!

Bed Frame Installed Today, we wrapped up the whirlwind of build activity by installing a full size bed frame in the van.   With the High-Top Van, I made the bed sit 16" off of the floor to give me ample storage area for my traveling adventures.  The full size bed with my 6' 2" frame, will allow...

Insulation Installed Hey all!  I hope everyone is doing well.   I am currently in California visiting with my father and his wife after housesitting for them since the beginning of May.  During that time I spent the last couple weekends installing the wall insulation and making treks back and...

Actually, I am not in the Reno area at this time. I am over in the wine country in CA. Not really interested in cork due to mold potential as it was wood based. Yes, trying to keep weight to a minimum as well. I guess I'll go with these foamball panels to fill in the last 1/2-3/4. Plan on...

Yeah, I checked with Lowe's. 3/4 is the lowest they go around here. Not available in the area. I spend last Saturday calling numerous local building supply yards and their selection was even worse.

Hey all, I have installed an inch of polyiso on my walls of the van in 1/2 inch layers. I need to install another 1/2 inch so I can install the wood paneling, but from what Home Depot has told me and based on stock around various stores in my area, the RMAX 1/2" Poly is no longer being...

Nice looking ride Baloo... Look forward to more!

Hola CRVL Peeps, I have been living full-time in the Imperial Shuttle van since April 1st and did my first urban stealth camp at an overflow apartment parking spot in town last night.  The past three weeks I have been sleeping on the street, in front of my sisters house.  I thought I would...

Thanks for the tip! Would never be a jerk about it. :) This would more then likely be during the week. I am sure snowpack is still an issue this early. I was just looking into the future for a possible summer run when it starts to get hot in the Reno valleys. I will probably stop by the...
