My Van Build

My new van has been purchased for traveling and camping throughout North America. This was a basic cargo van and I’m making progress on the build out.

5 Cut out in roof for fan.png
Cutting a hole in the roof of a new van is somewhat concerning, but it’s been done. No turning back now

Fan installed. Now I can begin installing the ceiling panels

Next on the schedule is the electrical system to include solar panels, an AGM sealed (house) battery to power refrigerator, fan and lights.

And finally, a cabinet to include a sink and portable water system will be installed. After that, I’ll be ready for my first “shake-down” run to discover and eliminate any bugs before hitting the road for warmer climes this winter.
