    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Finding myself more and more camping away from RV parks but not necessarily wanting to run the generator and roof AC all night either. I gave thought to removing the AC for a maxxair fan but sometimes having AC makes things so much more comfortable. I am very limited on height with my roof...

    Chevrolet Express / GMC Savana RWD Van Info thread (All years / 1500, 2500, 3500)

    You're welcome. You might be able to pop out a dome lamp and slightly pull down on the headliner and look through the hole to get a better idea of where to cut. Good luck!!

    Chevrolet Express / GMC Savana RWD Van Info thread (All years / 1500, 2500, 3500)

    The duct work is actually molded in to the headliner. So you can cut in the flat areas between the humps with the air deflectors. I've put an RV roof A/C on two different Express vans. The same 14x14 hole that a fan would require. If you have access to a cargo van without the headliner you can...

    GMC Savanna/ Chevy Express Swivel Seat

    I added swivels to both my passenger and drivers seats on my 17 Express. I carefully extended all the wiring for the seats which have airbags in the seats themselves, to allow for the rotation. I have no service airbag lights on which means all should be functioning as designed.

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Love my extra heavy duty rock solid motorcycle hauler with the added generator tray, but it is quite cumbersome to install and remove. Many times I want to take only my generator for mountain bike trips and not my dual sport. Since I've lowered my bed frame I can no longer store the genny...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    The first couple times driving it after I put the swivel in felt a little awkward. But now after having it in for over a year I don't even think about it or notice the difference. The only other thing to consider is when swiveled around, you don't have much room to recline it back due to the...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Fresh interior pics. New Blue Sea switch panel. New sink and location. The old removable sink box was a little overkill for brushing teeth and other light duty task. It also really crammed the fridge too close to the drivers seat when swiveled around backwards. All back together and ready...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Finally got my wheels painted. Hard to tell from the pic but they are a really dark mocha color. They look black unless in direct sunlight. Just something a little different.

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Thanks. I used cedar for the rack. So far it has held up great. My van is too tall for my garage so it does sit out in the elements 24/7. The only downside was for the first couple months whenever it rained the water coming off the cedar slats was redish and almost looked like rust on the...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    After several nights in the van I decided that the bed was too high. The lack of headroom made it feel rather cramped. So a full gutting of the van was in order. I still occasionally put in the second row bench which is why I didn't take the seat rails out to begin with. I figured I could...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    I've wanted a backup camera for a while now, my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas and you know the rest. This camera is wireless from the back to the front. It's suppose to tap into the backup lights but I wanted to be able to turn it on to check my motorcycle on the hitch hauler or...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Sorry I missed this question last year. But yes I did do the discountvantruck on the drivers side as well. It does offset the drivers seat inboard a couple inches which took a little to get used to but I don't even think about it now. I've read that some people can't stand the different...

    2020 GMC Savana Remote start?

    From the best I can tell looking at the gm parts catalog (I am a gm parts guy) They have changed nothing on the van from 2017 to the new 2020's. The keyless receiver module is the same number as well as the keyless fobs. I don't see any changes in the wiring harness part numbers either so I...

    2017 Chevrolet Express Camper Van

    Got a great deal from a friend on a set of 17 inch OE GM wheels from a 09 2500 Suburban. They came with 265/70r17 Toyo Open Country load range E with about 3/4 life left in them. I will break them down soon and have the wheels painted either pewter or dark bronze. Still undecided on the color.

    New Here. Searching for the perfect camper van, looking for guidance

    I've got a Honda EU2000 generator that will run my rooftop Coleman A/C. It is worth noting that the Honda is super quiet running in eco mode with a low current draw. However, once the A/C compressor kicks on, the Honda has to increase it's RPM's to almost full power and it is no longer super...
