Thanks! Ok, another question: you didn't remove all the white paint before you raptor coated it. You had some bubbling at the corner of a window, so you redid that spot. How long has the raptor coat been on the van now, and have you had any more bubbling of the original white paint since? I...

Beautiful job! Wow! One question: When installing the Maxxfan, how did you deal with the ridges in the roof metal? Extra butyl tape? Extra plastic to fill in the lower portions? Some kind of premade adapter?

Excellent video! Thank you! I learned a lot!

So are we worried about mold developing from condensation from interior sources of moisture (breathing, perspiring, cooking), or are we concerned about mold developing on the inside of the metal exterior? If we were to have a foil barrier with the foil facing inwards, would we not be creating...

This is actually a come down for me -- my previous car was a 1983 4cyl diesel Isuzu pup which always got 27-28 in town and 35-37 on hwy long trips. Sold it about 3 years ago. So that's why I am pretty appalled at "modern" vehicles getting such crap mileage. Mind you, in no way could you...

So are you folks happy with the kind of mpgs you get? Seems like only Sprinters can beat my 1989 vehicle's fuel efficiency. Of course I realize most of your vehicles are heavier than my little van and have more power and may have 4x4 capacity and other features, but still, you'd think in all...

Ooh! Now that sounds more like it!

I'd like to know just what kind of miles per gallon you all are getting out of your expedition vehicle? Please put in the model, year, type and maybe even engine size/#cylinders. (I'd love to do a poll, but it would be comparing so many different apples, oranges and fig newtons, it wouldn't be...

OK, thanks. I am just pondering putting the galley in the back if I were to get a Sprinter, because I prefer cooking outside (see http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/145788-Camper-Interior-87-Toyota-van) and then there is more room inside for living and other stuff. I haven't actually...

Yeah, I saw it was a Delica. They look a lot like our Toy'vans, but narrower. Terrific for snootering around in urban traffic. Fine for one, but I think for two it might be a little tight. I've never gone to desert-y and blowy places like Baja, so perhaps I'm myopic in my moderate Pac NW...

Thanks! Another question: Then from the floor to the bottom of the window on the rear door is how much?

Do you drive with all the windows closed? If people have a phobia about bugs and dirt, maybe they shouldn't go camping at all. We close things up when we go to sleep, but we're out in the great outdoors to be in the great outdoors. It is not so important to us for there to be such a clear...

Beautiful work! An inspiration to us all! What is the height from the outside ground to the floor at the back of the vehicle?

Wow! Team Liquid, I would love a nice-looking 4x4 like you have there -- only I don't want righthand drive. Or better yet, one with sunroofs... Lots of good ideas on your blog, too! Those drawers you've got in the galley -- where'd you get them? Toyotaroamer, We have the 1/2" plywood topped...

You know, I think you are wasting the best thing about the Toyota van by putting the galley inside. The best layout is with the galley in the back. The back door gives you cover from rain and leaves dropping into the soup. No worries about spills. No worries getting grease and splatter in the...
