kizdog87 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi there! New to the forum—I don't own a FTC yet, but I'm looking at one this weekend that hopefully will be the one. I'm downsizing from an '89 Ford E-150 Club Wagon which I had converted into a camper van: I love this big rust bucket, but it's just not reliable enough (I've made good use of my AAA membership's towing). I also don't need quite as much space as I anticipated, as I rarely slept in the giant bed we built, and cooking inside is dangerous/hot. The primary purpose of my van is to haul my recreational sled team around: So the plan is to build out my FTC as a mini version of my old setup, minus the bed and desk. I plan to build a frame around the dog crates, but it will be much more minimal—mostly for storage. My hope is to use the second row of seating as a bed if I'm in a pinch and don't want to pitch a tent. (I'm a tiny human, so I think I'll manage with a sleeping pad and bag) I expect I'll mostly travel with the second row of seats folded up, so I was thinking I'd like to make or buy something to keep them covered (a lot of dirt and dog hair travels through the van). Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? BSUPC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loafer Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hey kizdog87, welcome to the forum. There are some good folks here that will help. There are lots of van owners here that convert their vans to suit their dogs as a good owner should. Enjoy, there's lots of fun stuff that happens here. kizdog87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
