    The price on the mattress that I bought has gone up recently. It was expensive enough at $130 but now I think it's around $150. It's a little difficult for me to recommend at that price. Your suggestion might be a great solution. Buy a less expensive one and modify it. Keep the good ideas coming!

I have been more afraid in motels than in the forest. My grandkids are 10 hours, two days away and I miss them. I also almost died burst colon Anyway I have been recovering at home and realized my life is nothing but KZread and a recliner. Nope no more for me I want to go to Arizona again and can keep my apt which is very affordable for when I have to see the doctors. I had 10 doctors I decided two would work so not having anymore specialists. I LOVE YOUR BUILD it is what I have drawn out and it makes me happy that what was in my head will work.

It is all coming together and my trip date is April 5th going to a local campground for trial run then off to NV to see my friend of 45 years, then to my son’s family in CA then up to OR coast and going to learn how to meander. Need to get my cat used to Van but I think she will like it once she realizes she won’t die lololo. Almost better from surgery and will be 71 at time of trip.

    @@Gimo76 Congratulations on getting the van! I'm glad you didn't give up on the idea and I'm glad you're feeling better. Staying local for a trial run is an excellent idea. The van might never be completely done but you should get the basics figured out before going cross country. They slant the third row seat like that so it feels roomier than it is. But like you, I found that slanted seat to be beyond annoying. It's the main reason why I reconfigured my set up. It's still not perfect but like I said, a good van setup is never complete. Well, good luck with your adventures and feel free to keep me updated. You're an inspiration! Tell your cat I said meow. She'll know what it means.

    Exactly! If you can only have one car and you don't plan to live in it, I think the minivan is your best bet. It's small enough to fit in any parking space, garage or car wash while still being roomy enough for a bed, a cooler and some other essentials. After a two-week Journey around the country, I can return my car to passenger mode in less than 15 minutes without the slightest hint it used to be a camper. That said, if I could have two cars... I would have a Jeep and a sprinter van. Or if I were to live in a van I would definitely want it to be a big one. Lol! One tip about the blinds... The plastic that most of them are made of does not hold up well in a hot car in direct sunlight. If you leave your car on a 90-degree day, you should take the blinds down and put them under the bed or something. Or maybe you can find some that are made of metal or something. I would love to see what you come up with. You can send me pictures on Instagram or better yet, make a KZread video.
