Hi

Looks good. I never tire of viewing build outs. I just rebuilt the couch/bed in mine for the third time today.

HDR....I'd like roam around out west. Arizona and work my way North. Also want to spend time in Vancouver Canada the back down the Pacific coast

That looks like a Chevy. Where'd you get the swivel seat base ?

 

[B and C]

Nice build out.

I like it, and see little bits of ingenuity peaking out here and there!  (Sure wish we could sleep width-wise...)  Enjoy!

it's just a solid plate Mount. I keep it turn that way all the time. Because I have a large storage crate behind the seat in front of the dash

Rear window fan ! What kind and how does it work ? I've only seen one other done that way.

I like the red!

Looks like you lined the van with reflectix, using duct tape to hold it in place? How is that working?

Is that a deep cell battery set up under your laundry basket? How are you charging it?

A little belated, but nice minimalist build out, Matty, not taking a lot of money or time. Good amount of open floorspace, which I found to be highly desireable. Mine has even less stuff in there, . I did hang blankets on the wall for prettification.

VF, just to mention, in my GMC Savana it's 74-76" across just above the wheel wells, so I put regular size foam twin mattress in there. Someone taller than that can sleep at an angle.

Nice use of the file cabinets, can be had surplus in metal or wood for about $5 apiece due to the world going paperless. Could use a locking one for stuff you want to lock up. I use bins instead. 

Bathroom in there?

I also like the wall and ceiling treatment in reflectix, makes it so much brighter and cheery inside compared to wood on the walls. I have wood on the walls, but am doing reflectix on the ceiling over XPS insulation layer. 

Nice job!    ~crofter

I like those pics. Nice setup inside of the RV. Best of luck to the nomadic adventure.
