Thank you Gerald! I know it has been somewhat slow progress, but I have came to the conclusion that life is not a race. Glad you are sticking around

Nice Video, Chris....! I've got the same plan to spray-glue material to the interior metal but wasn't thinking about it with that thickness to it, you may have convinced me otherwise.... I'll have to go back to that video and look for the link for it - Hope you guys are doing well, Merry Christmas
@ImChrisDeDecker Жыл бұрын
Thank you Mike! Using a thicker material makes a big deal. Staying the first night in the van with the material on the walls were a night and day difference. I add it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZZ1hs2SpuDad5s.html Same for you man, Merry Christmas!

That is a beautiful van and I loved that black window replacement and the black along the bottom. One heck of a lot of work you put into it and the result is awesome! And yes, a ton of work but it shows that a piece of junk can become a real showpiece and be new! You've done it!❤

Thank you Hobo Dave. I am glad I could have some sort of positive impact on others. These vans are worthy to stay on the road. I see too many heading to the junkyard, it is a sad sight. The journey never ends :)

I mean, you could do a much more simple build to start off then update it later to something that suites your needs better. The Ethnic Explorer has a very simple build. Or, you could even do a no build, build. Buy a cot, cheap storage containers, mobile sink (if you want one) ect. The possibilities are endless. What I build is nearly perfect for me.

Love it man, we got the same front seats! would be awesome if one there would be a big Astro camper van event!
@ImChrisDeDecker Жыл бұрын
I was sooo lucky to find those seats. Hognail on Chevy's are a rare thing. I agree! It would be great to meet like minded people!

This is awesome! I just bought an astro and am planning a similar build. How long is your mattress? I've seen many different builds with different amounts of space between the top of the bed and the drivers seat.
@3dpowerproduction Жыл бұрын
Well done, my friend 👏! Quick question? How do you charge your electronics in the van do you use the charger ports or you can use solar panels. Been here since the beginning just as I got my van aswell. Take care and have a happy Holidays!
@ImChrisDeDecker Жыл бұрын
I just use shore power but if we are somewhere with no electricity I have a mini power bank that will last us one night. The fridge is a 12v fridge and the van can run that sucker
