Thanks for the tip! I will add that onto my shopping list next payday.
I just found the specs of my 2000 GMC safari. I will draw up 3 ideas that i have in my head today.
The most expensive thing i will need for my van is: fireplace (yes i am getting one, do not talk me out of), frig, and starlink. Everything else isn’t that bad to buy. I am considering putting up a graduation wish list for my van.
I’m afraid your scale is off… Your bed will only be about a foot shorter than your full cabin length.
While not exactly trying to discourage you from a fireplace, I have switched to a table top fire pit made out of a meat loaf pan with a lid. It is powered by cooking oil. I like to be able to take it outside too, so I can have it even when there are campfire bans, and in the winter it can supply electricity free heat.
There was an article from an old magazine that got posted to a forum many years ago, using such a table top fire pit to create a full heating, cooling, and ventilation system using one, that required no other power source.
I found it very interesting, and duplicated it in one of my rigs, and it actually worked surprisingly well.
Interesting powered by cooking oil? Where can I look at one? I do want a fireplace.
I am sure my bed is completely off, but these are just layout ideas to see which one that will work the best since i have such a tiny van.
I design 3
I’ll see if I can find the article, it’s awfully close to my current stuff… Same general design.
Are you planning a 2, 3, or 4 fold sofa/bed?
My apologies for not getting back to you all. I have been busy pulling out the shelves in my van. I am also working on removing the divider for a moment so I can take out the floor mat to wash underneath it.
I really like some stuff called “Awesome” from Dollar Tree stores…
Ok I will go pick it up on my home. This what we got done with 4 hours. We pick things back up on Monday morning.
Once it’s all clean, we can address the rust… And possible leaks.
Awesome is more of a cleaner, I’d use WD-40 or PB-Blaster on rusted bolts.
