Yes get out there, you deserve it :)

Talking about mould ... have you got vent holes for your mattress to 'breathe' routered into your bedbaseboard ? If the mattress is just lying on the ply board with no holes for air to circulate YOU WILL END UP WITH MOULD GROWING as your body releases moisture as you sleep. I notice newbie van lifers in colder countries often don't realise how much they 'sweat' when sleeping as it is counterintuitive. By the time you notice mould (it could take 3-4 months or even longer) you will have to throw out the mattress and cut out the affected part of the ply baseboard. You will not avoid it unless you 'air' your mattress on its side (stripped of bedding) each day for hours ... which doesn't look like you have the space and would be a major pain and aesthetic nightmare inside your lovely tidy van ... plus you would lose a lot of living space (unable to chill on the bed during the day). I wouldn't wait too long before you router good sized holes (2cm at least in a pattern roughly where your body mass sleeps on the mattress ... not drill holes) There is another full time van life couple who discovered exactly this problem - You Tube "Trent and Allie ... mould problem " - and you will see a graphic illustration of the extent of their mould and what they did to get rid of it (a big headache). It has NOTHING to do with what climate you are in. Hot and humid or frozen Canadian winters ... you will inevitably and inexorably get hideous black mould without good air circulation under your mattress. You don't have to worry about a fan or heater circulating the air under though you have the original heat/air system near the back ... maybe your dad could get a hose sorted to vent under your garage area as this would increase the efficiency of the air circulating under your bedboard and therefore able to 'air' your mattress better ... just get the holes done. If not ... just the holes will do the trick. The problem is by the time you actually spot the mould ... it will be too late as the spores will be all through your lovely mattress and ingrained into the plywood. Obviously in a small space it is very unhealthy to be hatching a spore factory in your mattress ! Your van is lovely ... it would be such a hassle to have to cut out and replace the ply and throw your mattress out. Get onto it ! Regards from someone who has dealt with disgusting black mould before and it is a bitch. Bleach just leaches the colour from the spores and makes it look like they have gone ... it doesn't actually get rid of it ... so the solution to rid the areas from mould has to be radical surgery.

@lizsteeds6697

4 жыл бұрын

@@somethinggood9267 No ... definitely not. You drill into the bedbase (plywood) that the mattress sits on. You need to take the mattress off completely before you start drilling (routering) the holes. The holes need to be at least 2cm wide and in a pattern that matches where your body lays on top of the mattress ... not including the legs and arms ... just the torso. Did you Google the You Tube van life couple Trent and Allie who had a mould problem and fixed it doing what you need to do ? You are being preventative, unlike them ... these two were ignorant to the woes of black mould and the importance of air circulation around ALL of the mattress and had to cut out their bedbase and throw away the mattress as the mould was so pervasive. DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN YOUR MATTRESS.

So yeah, is usually always running...,mostly on a low setting but it’s quite intuitive :)

Hi Logan, I forgot to mention the pillow cover for sweaters, I have extra blankets and extra sheets and towels in all of my extra throw pillows as well as the ones for the back of my couch which is a fold out bed. When I changed out the cushions for the couch I change the width of the bed so I didn't have to let out the couch to have my bed. The table also let down for a bed as well. Over the cab is another bed that pulls down. So it would sleep 6. We put new carpet,new cushions,recovered the tabletop and counter top. We love the old girl as she is the 73 model Winnebago. She is a beast! Those were the days when they built things to last! It does look like she needs to be painted with peace signs and daisies! Again safe travels to you and yours!

Good job. I lived in a small van and gave it up because it became life on my knees. CO detector needs exposure to breathing space. Just mount it on a wall. Propane tanks can vent almost at random, especially when hot. A leak could be deadly. It can be in a sealed and insulated interior compartment vented outside. Where it is could work with a well sealed door. Much better to have propane outside. A propane detector is a really good idea. Wool is a less flammable material than cotton or poly for curtains near a stove top. Refrigerator exchanges heat with atmosphere, it should be vented very well or in the open. If it fails try blowing it out with compressed air without spinning the fan at high speed. There is no filter and they collect dust. Round off enough on the table so slender people can get in and out of the bench seats. Be careful with the electric (?) heater in a semi-closed space. There are ususally warninings on the heater and in the instructions. A volt meter will consume a little current. Add a push button to turn it on to save the loss. Overall a really good job. I love the curtains. Hope they are flame resistant. Too many people don't vent enough with propane appliances.

Thank you for sharing I need to now all about van life and build.

You can also use a toaster oven to cook with. In my RV I went to the Dollar Tree and got Readi Board near the stationary dept which I fitted for each window and the fan has a velco attachment for that so I can close it easily for winter time, and open in the summer. I have been in my 2000 Pleasure Way van since July 17th 2019 and stay warm. I am plugged into electricity, because problems with water in my home. If you put plumbers antifreeze into your lines, you can save any water winter problems. Since you do not use the water again, it also keeps it from freezing.

Great use of space and i really liked the table and toilet ideas well done . I might use those ideas myself if i ever do the van life. Im thinking about a small box truck or a little bus . But the way you set your van up got me thinking that a van might work . Over all great job . Thanks for the ideas and video

Thanks Walter! You should totally do the van life/bus life/ whatever life you love!! - Enjoy, best of luck :)

I love the sweater/cushion cover hack. So smart, as is the entire van and its occupant. I wish I'd been so creative at her age.

The pictures (stickers/decals?) on your upper cabinets look amazing and look like they help you find where to put the magnet. Brilliant!
