Hello! Building out a stepvan

[escape_pod]

Hello everyone! Decided to take on the project of building out an adventure van on a 2008 workhorse stepvan! Any advice to make it look less like an ice cream truck is much appreciated.... or lean into it more haha

 

[bullfrog !]

All my campers I’ve built look like Ice Cream trucks or ice machines! Lol!!! White is a good color in sunny areas, good to help keep things cooler.

I'm tempted to get a giant ice cream cone display model and put it on the hood just for the gag haha

People get really mad when they find out they chased you down just to find out you don’t have any ice cream! Lol!!!

Put some precut vinyl graphics on it. They are affordable and can be purchased on Amazon, Ebay, Etsy and other web sites. Some examples shown here. Single color images cut from a roll of colored vinyl will cost less than ink jet printed onto vinyl multicolored graphics.

Team, it's been decided. We're getting a statue model like this for the roof:

An LED panel to display custom text, including but not limited to "Free Candy" "Free Ice Cream" "Free Klondike Bars":

And speakers for ice cream truck music:

With the batteries I have for the home electrical system I hope they'll give a few hours of music blast time

The display statue on the roof will significantly reduce the routes I can take over the country if I leave it upright. A decision will have to be made to leave it as is and commit to it, or install a hydraulic system to raise and lower it depending on if I'm coming up on a bridge
