Just getting started

[Tula]

Hi fellow travelers,
I have been camping in my truck with a canopy since 1994.  I feel like I'm movin' on up after I bought a Chevy 2500.  My camping experience is about to change!  I'm super excited to pimp my van and am overwhelmed with the amount of choices for a cooktop, fridge, solar, flooring, etc...  It's hard to weed thru what info on the web is based on experience vs simply marketing products, or maybe a bit of both.  Joining this group is a first start to hear what others have experienced and share my learnings along the way.
Looking fwd to a long strange trip to no where in particular.

Welcome Tula and best of luck with your plans. I have a Chevy van too, and I made a video about the build. It is here:    if you want to see some ideas.

Welcome! Tell us about your former topper as well!

Former topper was a Leer shell on a Tacoma truck.  It was the type that was level with the cab so not much headroom.  It worked for wkend trips and some week long trips.  I'm ready to have something I can stand up in.
