First build is always a testing time, ideas put into place and then thoughts reconsidered. Vanlife is like everything else, its trial and error and at least you had the gumption to say yu messed up as we all do - so good on you for not glossing it over.

Nice job on the modification. My parents have that exact same van but a 1983 model. It has 80,000 miles on it and is mint.

We added an 18" plywood extenson behind the folding seat/bed and added a queen sized air mattress. Under this was a microwave and kitchen supplies. We used a cheap screen room as a kitchen and living area. I also added a window AC in the left rear window. When RV campground camping we had everything we needed except a bathroom. A coffee can and a themos bottle came in handy when restrooms were not available. We had all sorts of tents and RV's. Van camping was the most fun of all. On long drives we didn't have to go back to camp. Wherever we were, we were at camp.

@modeladenny1218 3 жыл бұрын

After I retired we bought a 1987 Chevy van to pull a flat bed trailer to move seven loads to Florida. We camped in the van half way both directions then we used the van to RV camp. We never expected to camp in a van, sometimes under a bridge by a river, for seven years. I even handed out candy to kids when we parked our van down by a river, a creek, and an ocean. When it got 200,000 miles on it I sold it to some older guys who drove it another 100,000 miles. We loved a van so we bought a 1994 Dodge high top van for bike event camping. That was also very handy and my wife gave candy to nice bikers.
