Got her out for her first camp out. She did really good getting about the same fuel mileage as before no weird, whistles, or wind noise pretty happy with how everything worked out Definitely needed to upgrade the fog lights and readjust the headlights so I put the big 9 inches back on and I...

Amazon and don’t buy them!! I just replaced them with 300 watts of glass Renogy panels. Those panels over 80° ambient temperature they were only putting out like 15 or 20 W of power. So anything over 60° outside they basically were worthless. .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s a pictures of the new glued on solar panels. Iwent from 200 watt Renogy (broke one still WOEKS) to 380 flat panels. I’m pretty impressed with them so far I haven’t had much of a power load in the van so I don’t know what their actual max charging rate is and turns out that apparently...

So today’s update I picked the Bumper material up earlier this week and had some ideas on what I wanted to do. Ran out of time and daylight tonight but I got everything bent where it needs to be. I need to do a full weld. I’m probably going to put a filler piece in the wheel well and trim...

Oh, and the nice thing is is both the box and the spare tire carrier amounted to the door so in case of emergency, we can go right out the back doors without having swing arms in the way!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is a Ford factory rear spare tire carrier from a 2003 and newer van. I got it off of craigslist for 40 bucks and the guy gave me two other ones that are pre-93 because of a different hinge design that if somebody ever gets close and needs one and can use one, they are more than welcome to...

Yuuuupp.. baby steps thou.. she’s going to need glow plugs and the next year so I figure while I’m in there I’ll go ahead and put the super duty in a cooler Spyder valve and then I can do the intercooler piping. Right now I’m kind of tired of spending money on there and I want a Drive her...

It rained today…Gotta fix roof leak where roof meets poptop.. and last 2 trim panels can go back in.. I’m waiting on parts right now. Bumper material and little things like window tint and window visors before I put the interior door panels on. Aluminum box should go on after it quits raining...

Nice lazy day Sunday of bolting things back together and some trim painting..and put n awning on a buddy’s rig Scarlet Jo Vansen… Been a big weekend!!! Lil more outside work and the chrome flairs can go on… interior trim goes back up this week…picking up the bumper materials tomorrow…then that...

BUSY day!! 2 gallons of blue metallic raptor liner and it looks pretty good for a driveway paint job! Prep took about three hours if I scuffed the whole thing with a nylon abrasive brush wheel. Then I power wash the whole van and then the next morning we wiped everything down with big bath...

Gotta keep some chrome or my flairs will look odd.. Hydraulic jack.. hi lift to spread it apart.. and hours of using a planishing hammer to get it close!! It’s not perfect.. but a Lund Visor should hide that ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lots of work done and thanks to JWA for the advice on install!! Raptor liner getting sprayed soon and then all the bits get put back on!! Bumper materials ordered and hoping to have it road ready in a week or so!! All downhill from here!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everybody!! It was definitely heartbreaking and we were not sure what was going to happen. All of us got very emotional. For the last six years, the kids and I have made it a project.. With hundreds of nights camping and tens of thousands of miles worth of adventures it’s become such a...

I’m hesitant to post this because we’re still in the middle of dealing with insurance but we had a major devastation on July 2. The hundred plus year old, silver maple tree in my front yard fell directly on the van. The pop-up reinforcement that was designed into it, actually stop the damage...

Bathroom storage completed! Self closing hinges and magnets to hold it closed. The collapsible toilet, bags,wipes and paper all fit inside the door for rapid access!! Also some fun stickers with a custom twist!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I may tint these a bit.. it’s about the same as the driver side RV window so those are hard to see in during the day. And we will make window covers for them at night for privacy. Thanks for the kind words.. I often forget to Update as I should so it seems like I do quite a bit all at once when...

Did some camping over the winter nothing major… Got a new delta 2 power station to augment the air fryer we have been carrying.. Been working on some of the “to do” list.. Today was getting the new side doors.. gotta do some body work on the smaller one.. but the current ones on the van are...
