Kim, I am curious. With the lift of your van, is this a 4X4 conversion or RWD only? The whole build looks really nice. I think you did very well with the buffalo inlay and the bear/fish painting. Nothing to dislike. When you mention 'Westinghouse 300', is that an inverter? Power station like a 'Jackery'? Would you consider mounting solar on the roof permanently? Great build out. I may be planning on getting an Express/GMC Safari extended length like yours. Maybe with the 4.8 liter or 5.3 liter engine....maybe the Duramax diesel engine, I don't know yet. It depends on the history of reliability of the engine. I am considering a 4x4 conversion, but happy to know traction control is standard. Another good point is the availability of towing a trailer if desired or necessary as you seem to do with your motorbikes as you mention. I have a couple, but they are road bikes and planning on getting a mid '90's BMW GS with Bing carbs to get offroad with. Time to make an excel sheet of needed items for a conversion.

Hi. It's rwd. The Westinghouse is an inverter like the Jackery. It only runs my fans and lights. The Jackery only runs my fridge. If I were to go Full-time, I would consider solar.

I have a 2001 Chevy Express. It's got some issues. I had given up on building it due to crazy gas prices, but I figure for the price of 1 night at a cheap motel ($100/night) I can get around 200 miles. I finished insulation and the sub floor. You have inspired me to continue with the project! And imagine I was going to switch to a minivan. How long is your bed from head to toe?
