BobBski's Prep for launch

[BobBski]

Swivel seat adapter installed on the passenger seat.  I now have a recliner in the living room.  Picture shows upright when you click it to enlarge.

If you ever have the occasion to visit me, you'll be greeted by a little iron dog that has been at the front door my family for over 80 years.  My dad found this little pup when he was in the 3D grade and my grandma set it by the front door, later it sat at the front door our (Dads and Mom's) and for the last couple years at my house.  Well, everything that I own now fits in 5 small boxes and their contents will soon be unpacked into the van.  The iron pup is part of that stuff....continuing to do his duties of greeting guests.  Life is good.

your swivel seat is nice but that iron pup is so cool and it's a heirloom. highdesertranger

 

[BobBski]

Yeah, Dad found it when he was 8 years old while spading up a new area for a flower garden for my grandma. No telling how old it is....Dad named him Wrinkles.

Just received 2 of these SuperSuk vacumn suction cups, they're  talked about highly within the kayak and boat community.  Hoping to secure small tarp or shade clothe on the side of my van without having to drill or install roof rack connections. My vans really too tall to attach to roof rack.  If they test positive I'll order 2 more.

Also finished off my kitchen pan purchases with this 1.5 qt pressure cooker, thank you Brian (AdventureVanMan).  It will double as a small sauce/water boiling pan.  Only other pans I will have are 10" fry pan and CanCooker Jr.

Things are moving along. I love the little dog! Thanks for the link on the pressure cooker - been wanting a small one for some time now.

 

[BobBski]

Everything's now polyurethaned, trim attached and drawer units are in place.

Another view of front shelf unit.  All kitchen utensils, 10" fry pan, pressure cooker, CanCooker Jr. and stove fit nicely in the Camp Chef Kitchen.  

 

[BobBski]

Garage area all finished except air conditioner install and mounting rod holders in center closet.  That's a 60" Sportbrella in the center closet.  Great wind, rain and sun protection for two.

 

[BobBski]

Foam factory did a fantastic job on the memory foam (2 foams) 9" thick mattress.  Fits perfectly. The open shelf is where window ac will be.

 

[BobBski]

Backrest pillow super comfy as well.  Mattress is "Mom Approved"...she was worried about my comfort until she laid down on the mattress.
