:huh: I'm wondering how much convertin' is really needed? I was so excited that I snatched up Queenie and did a Happy Dance...We Gotta Van......We Gotta Van....Yippee....Yippee........Really more of slow TEXAS 2 Step.
Then Reality Bit Me In The Butt More Than Once. I'm not physically able to pull apart and rebuild a van interior, nor am I financially able to pay to have it done at this time. Do I really need to is also on my mind.
The interior is in good shape. A few cracks in the dash, some spots on one seat. Nothing is showing excessive wear, carpet is in good shape, no holes in anything that I've seen so far. The paint on the hood is faded. This paint job is unlike any I've ever seen. It's cracked and crazing and in some spots looks like it's been cut with a knife and curled back on it's self. Pictures, pictures, pictures my kingdom for some pictures!
So I'm thinking to just have the 2nd row captains seats removed for now. This will leave space for a small cabinet that I can secure my little counter top frig to for insulin and cold foods.
I'm wondering the best and cheapest way to get 110 elec. into the van. Other than leaving a window cracked with a extension cord running through it. Is there a heavy grade outdoor extension cord that coupled with some type of heavy duty plug strip would run a fan, small lamp, portable DVD PLAYER and the mini frig?
I'm not sure yet if the rear seat/bed needs to stay or go. Looking at it, it seems too wide and too short for anything except short naps. Queenie is digging it big time
Has anyone here done a partial build on a conversion van?
I'm grateful for all ideas and input and links etc.
Have a good week.
