To be honest, I didnt use it a whole lot, i just filled it with ice and sometimes turned in on to slow the melting. But its not really an amazing fridge so i mostly ate vegetarian/things that wouldnt parish. The bed was completely comfortable, i had that mattress and then a memory foam pad on top. to this day most comfortable bed i've ever slept on. Springs i suppose would work, but I wanted something that I could strip down with out the mattress and still have a wooden bench. Never thought about springs. You could definitely do a single bed, but it's going to take up most of your space. Since i knew it was just going to be me for the most part, i sacrificed a wider bed for more room to "live" in the back

The jack for lowering the spare is actually very close to the back, so it's not hidden under the floorboard. I didn't think that one through, but got lucky by not covering it.

@@AdamWilkoszarski Thank you!!! Best of luck on your build!

Where did you track down your roof leak to? I've had one off and on for a few years and I can never seem to pin point it. Fellow MD Native here and my little 2012 has been up to Acadia, Badlands, Zion, Grand Canyon and more. Got to love a little pregnant roller skate. Your conversion looks awesome.

Hey! wow your van has seen some great places. the leak was coming in through the back tail light on the roof, if i remember correctly the seal was kinda worn down

So tell me (us) how did the trip from Baltimore to Alaska go? Did you have any issues pop up while you were out and about? Did your camper van take care of you like you had hoped?

The trip was wonderful. 2 months on the road, feeling completely free. No car problems at all and I spent almost every night in my van or in a tent! Much more than I ever could have hoped for.

Did you make it?

I did! Nearly 3 years later and I'm still in Alaska, and back living in the van!

@@jrose987 I was checking my sanity thinking I could use one as a camper or to pull a teardrop trailer and it seemed like the low liftover made it good for dogs.

Those port holes will hold water.
