Do you have the capability of adding 12 or 14 permanent inches to the ceiling of your van to allow you to stand up? This would eliminate the expansion unit that you currently have. I like what upgrades you are planning to do.

@@diannehall1534 hey I’m not Josiah, but I do know a little about this. There are high top conversions for Vanagons out there. While they are great in some ways they do have some downsides. They’re pretty pricey first of all. Just the fiberglass topper without labor for installation can be a few thousand dollars. And then typically you end up losing that top bed area that is handy for storing stuff when you get to camp as Josiah mentioned.

Had 2 1984-1990 VW Vanagon westy vans. Started off me and wife living the dream long before van life was a thing. Then plus 1 plus 2 kids. Small yes, tight yes, kids arguing yes. No A/C 110 degrees outside yep, no cruise control. Then got a newer one with A/C and cruise little better. Best time of our family's life kids talk about the epic trips and breakdowns of the van. Looking back would I change anything nope!

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I've had enough of struggling in the Matrix. Might as well struggle in a better place.... Or... Even better... Don't struggle! So I'll be on the road by next summer. Early retirement with not enough money...and alive and relishing each day instead of dreading it and constantly wishing it was 5:00 or Friday. Love your van. I got a 95 Japanese Toyota HiAce and it's coming along nicely. See you out there !

I can't understand NOT wanting to go do van life at least for a while if you can. & I don't understand why people need to look sideways at someone who is embracing a different kind of life. I think almost everyone has something worth hearing. Josiah seems to be worth the time to listen.

You got a terrific rig, but I have 2 questions…… First, what kind of indoor plumbing do you have, besides the sink? Second, what’s the name of your travel companion? I’ll look you up and see the mods you’ve done to your Vanagon l. As a nomad it seems you have everything under control.
