Hi Vivian-
I'm new to this forum and I'm still 2 years out from retiring, but am planning and saving now for my van dwelling life.
I'm originally from Indiana too (left in 2011) and am now in sunny LA! A wee bit different than the Midwest. 
Looking forward to your pictures! Did you do the remodel of your van yourself? I'm always interested in learning from women who tackle this type of project!
Blessings on your travels-
Deb

Hi DebC.  Yes, I did the remodeling myself. It's a very basic build -  bed on driver side and a self unit on the other side.
