Okay, so a lot has happened in my life and not much in the van. I have put a Fantastic Vent in. Actually, that took about two weeks to build up the courage to drill the first hole. I’ve got photos and video I have to put up. The last couple of days I’ve...

After weeks, maybe even months of looking for a “screw grommet” I finally got somewhere. For the first time I’ve noticed, using the Internet actually caused more of a problem than it solved. The Internet is great at finding things from a million...

Fridge is awesome. I put it in the back and connected it to my batteries. Checked it this morning and they were still at 99%. It is really quiet as well. I think the fan in my laptop is louder. Very impressed so far. I have cold watermelon again! I started cutting up...

I’m writing this from my bed. Yesterday, I was worried about a fridge, tonight, I’m worried about heat. Even though it’s not installed, I’m glad I’ve got insulation ready to go. My mind is crazy with layout ideas for layouts. I’m...

Anything happening. No. Not really. I’m starting a self-imposed “van off” against intothemystery13. Actually, it’s not a “van off” I’m just going to try and keep up with him during his latest van build. Hopefully that will...
