Hi everybody, I have a 2012 Nissan NV low roof van that is going to be a project for me, still has shelves and a bulkhead in the back, have some ideas but am not very handy at do it yourself modifications but am going to give it a try, also have a couple inverters, a 35 qt fridgefreeze, and a 14 quart engel 12 volt fridges, am amazed at some of the ingenuity of the posters on the forum hope I can learn some things.

I have an '02 Chevy astro AWD. I took out all the rear bench seats and turned the passenger seat around for my recliner. Bob built me a bed and shelving unit behind the drivers seat. I altered the bed to be lower and a little wider so I could use it as a couch. My bed is 3" foam from Joann's on plywood resting on milk crates and a 3 gal paint bucket potty.My deep cycle battery is at the foot of the bed and is charged by the continuous duty solenoid. It also runs the house lights and stereo. There are lots of pics on my blog.&nbsp;<br /><br />Paddling Man, it's good to have you back!

Thanks! It's good to be back and adjusting to the "new normal" after cancer taking a loved one.

My retired live van:

Now? <img src="../images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /> Nothing. It *had* a 47' pneumatic mast, compressor, three racks, a video editing console and generator. Now only one rack (populated with power management and the Onan behind it) remain. I stripped two or the three racks and the mast and sold it for salvage.&nbsp;<br /><br /> I filled the rack with rack-specific (Mid-Atlantic) drawers and storage, kept the power management breakers and gen-set. I finished up curtains and carpet... it was already finished on the walls / doors insulation and felt-covered wood panels. <br /><br />I just bought a junkyard ladder for the back and a spare tire carrier. (The original under-van assembly is always removed in live vans to support the mast.) I'm building a second, convertible bed across the rear for my daughter or son to go camping. At six-three, I just couldn't comfortably make a bed work perpendicular for myself. I've got some Yakima rain-gutter towers and just need to new poles to put my kayak rack up top. <br /><br />The little cover on the side? It is where the video/audio input/output fittings art. I'm not sure whether I mount a *small* window ac inside that hole - recessed enough that the door still closes over it... or put a fan assembly inside. I've got the mast hole covered until the budget affords a FantasticFan.<br /><br />I've got a Reese under-frame hitch scoped out at the local junkyard. I was stoked it was the 3/4 ton (E250.)<br /><br />I'm loving it!
