... well, I guess I have to put myself back in this category again. 
  After  live'n in the Kia Soul [as a self inflicted experiment in minimalism] ,
  I'm - we're [Pax & me] , back in a van. A '16 Nissan 2500 high roof. 
  I can't really explain what a joy it is to be able to stand up inside your home.
  Pax could always stand but she's only about a foot tall , I'm 6'1" 'nuff said.
  I'm also "old" [over 60, ok] so I'm not so pliable anymore. So, for my nomad
  friends who've been inquiring through email where I'm at - still rolling, just 
  different wheels .

Hey nice van.  I just changed from my conversion van and not sure what other changes are in store.  Sounds like you are living the life - hopefully see you at the RTR (Rubber Tramp Rendevous) in Quartzsite AZ in January 2017. 

Enjoy the journey.

Congratulations, that looks really good!
Did you do the interior yourself, or did it come that way? I like the interiot, and that you have a sink.

   ... thank you , did the build myself -- sink was a $99 item from H D -- came with the faucet, mostly the reason I bought it, I like the tall spout.
 
This looks very comfortable and functional ....and Pax, oh my! What a sweetie!

What is your tv set up and how is it fastened? Thank you.

   ... the tv is a 32" vizio led , 20 lbs. - however I donated it to my oldest son so my granddaughters could have their own tv - it used very little power off the inverter but I only run one 105 AH battery and it still used too much power for me ,so I'm wait'n for a Jensen 19" 12 volt to arrive. The mount is a regular wall mount [amazon- $22] that I installed vertically at the end of the bed. 32" is nice but a bit of overkill and I'm try'n to break my tv addiction.
     and yes, my little 10 lb. tornado is a sweetie ...
 
Pax looks content. "Let's hit the road and ditch this popsicle stand!"
 
No explanation necessary. I'm taller than you and recently looked at a hightop Express 2500 extended. I now know what vehicle would be best for me.
 
Oh, it's SOOOOO nice, cozy, and comes complete with a puppy! What could be better?
If I was there, I would walk around it with ohhh's and ahhh's!
Congratulations,
