Wow, that sounds great! I can’t wait to see the aluminum ceiling.

You’re right, I forgot in the moment that the outlet polarity had nothing to do with the rest. I’m they basically couldn’t figure anything out and didn’t charge me. I haven’t been able to reach any van build companies. The stove hood light works. The fan used to work, but didn’t when we checked a fe...

Thanks Skater. For now, since funds are limited, I plan to catch the gray in 2 5-gallon containers and dump into the black tank or use to rinse it. I’ll have a 2 point site (water, electric). There is a dump on site, as well as bathrooms. Between the two, I hope dumping once every week or two will w...

After several years of mechanical repairs, removing propane, and upgrading to lithium, this spring I’ve had fun with the interior: - replaced propane fridge with dorm fridge - spray painted sink, faucet, stove, & fridge rose gold & copper - painted subfloor with Mod Podge mixed with red glit...

Love this! Makes me wish I had the double sink! If you want to upgrade the counter to hide the scratches, I found a product called Simple Mat at Home Depot. It’s a fiberglass infused paper that sticks to the counter. Easy to cut & fit to the space (I eye-balled it, while my friend painstakingly ...

Amazing! What an ambitious reno. It’s incredible how well the van holds up to various aesthetic choices. I’ve seen people do high end countertops and trendy fixtures like a home reno. This is very ready for off road. Mine was mostly removing propane and easy upgrades a newbie and person with limited...

Still haven’t figured out the electrical issue. The water pump and monitors don’t work, but all other 12V things except the stove fan work. It was weeks to get RV service appointments. Camping World couldn’t figure it out. They said the polarity on my outlets was reversed. They suggested a van conve...

Hey all! After over 3 years, my B is almost ready for its second major trip, and the first with the ability to cook and refrigerate. I’m arranging to stay at an Airstream park this summer, but it requires a working gray tank, no gray water may be discharged. My tank was damaged after purchase, I sus...

I love my MaxAir fan! When we went to the van build, everyone told us the Fantastic Fan was so quiet. My friend and I thought it was LOUD. The MaxAir is very quiet. I bought the enclosed one with a fin. Only issue was I had to remove a solar panel the fin would have been stuck under. Enjoy! Sent fro...

I have a 1990 B190 and it is not solar ready, which means no wiring from middle of the roof to underneath the couch. I am thinking to use the hole for antenna which is near the read left side on the roof. That requires finishing wires from the thermostat / speaker area to underneath the couch where...

Thanks. Then that might narrow it down to the wires in that area or where they connect to the converter.

Hi Skater, Thanks for this. I’m not sure if my B needs full rewiring or if a new converter would fix it. Which converter did you use? My fan and lights work, but not the water pump, monitors, or outlets. I imagine the water heater also doesn’t work, but I removed propane and need to replace with an ...

I know I’ve seen a camo one before, but this homemade camo paint job is really something.
