Slow Start id Ramping Up

[lopicma]

I have been in "analysis paralysis" for a year now, but this last week has had me measure up the interior, order a roll of linoleum flooring, and remove the back seating of my 2009 Grand Caravan.  I have been concentrating on hte mechanicals of the van, and I think I am good for now.

Next weekend I am going to tackle the DIY roof rack tarp system as well as getting a sheet of plywood for the floor base.

The back seating was not as difficult as I thought.  The biggest problem was the plastic moldings.  2 bolts for each back seat and three each for the two up front.  I am eyeing and measuring the front passenger seat for possible reversing.  Can anyone point me to Grand Caravan builds on this sight.  I think I have exhausted YouTube for now.  I am still poking around for Bob's minivan build he did last month.  Any links to the PDF blueprints he mentions would be nice.  I couldn't find any PDF file on hte Home on Wheel Alliance sight other than an application for help.

I like what eric did with his https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC419EVHTZkNsRuLpoN_wnpA  I was thinking of going the mini van route till I found my FTC.  I think the design goes well with a minivan.

As far as cutting the floor plywood out to size with a good fit, get some cardboard, and make templates to match the floor design. Possibly consider a swivel base for the passenger seat, so you can use it as a backwards facing seat when camping (or remove it completely, and use the space for a cooler/fridge.
