Default My Van

Sold my 1990 Silverado Blazer and got myself a 2001 Express van. Was camping in the Blazer for the last ten years with a matress in the back with the backseat removed. My wife wanted more room.

Built a bed frame in the back for the mattress. Next, I built a "kitchen unit" for it wired for 110 volts for our hotplate, thermostatically controlled space heater, and outlets for charging our iPad, cameras, & phones. I also put in a sink with two tanks for fresh water and gray water. Bottom middle door houses the coffee maker and a shelf above the water tanks on the right holds the hotplate. The other two doors are for storage. It took me about a month because I had no plans and had to shape it to fit the inside of the van. Now to head south to try it out, as it is too cold here in South Dakota.
