Specs
The van is a 2013 nv 3500
Advanced 4x4 did the conversion, I have since had to do a few upgrades / fixes ( more on that later)
It has a transfer case with high and low , unfortunately the after market does not support the van at all ( no surprise) so ther is no limited slip or locker..... Booooo
I am currently working with a local offroad fabrication shop in anchorage ( Green Tree fabrication )
http://www.greentreefab.com to develop some King coil overs for the van, the stock shocks are just not holding up to the task
The intererior of the van was done by Outsidevan in Oregon,

Honestly they are an amazing outfit to work with, I could not be happier
It is a relatively simple set up, we really wanted few mechanical systems as possible for reliability, so no toilet, black or grey water tanks. There is 20gal of fresh water on board, no hot water heater, Iv never used it in past rigs. I asked em to shoe horn the biggest fridge they could practically fit in the van. Also has a micro wave, lol it's a feature I did not think we would use much, I honestly was reluctant to put it in.....but we actually end up using it a lot, we will ore make a lot of meals before we hit the road and just heat em up later.
The heater runs off of gasoline, I'm not sure where, but the dudes at outsidevan sourced it from...... It's an espar unit, it works amazing and only one fuel source is needed, custom twin gas tanks were fabricated by PDX tuning in portland. Took a bit of design work but we ended up shoehorning 110 gal capacity under the van ( protected by massive 3/16 steel skid plate) so far I have only filled it up to 80gal and this was on the way up the Allan highway ( made it over 700 miles on that fill up😜
I'm afraid to fill it to capacity until, I have airbags in the back to help with the added weight
I'm kind of rambling.... A littl loopy on pain meds after ankle repair surgery couple days ago 😜
After years of camping in the back of a truck, the van is like a luxury palace, it's a nice warm escape while the wife and I continue to explore our home state Of Alaska
I'll continue to post pics and snawer any of your questions
Thanks👍👍
