Nothing fancy, converting to a camper van a little at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Gideon, read today how to route the cable through the firewall for my house battery dc to dc charger. Lots of good stuff to read and learn.

Gideon Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I too have a 2016 LWB XLT Wagon that's my daily driver and, hopefully, an overnighter (have a tent-trailer for camping). Have installed a modified Keter storage cabinet [behind 2nd rt-side seat] to hold my usual 'stuff' & some light camping gear. Need to keep seating for 3 and room for my cat's litter-box [behind cabinet] & supplies. Leaves enough room for sleeping behind driver's seat.

I should have made the distinction, but I have the Van, thought it would work better for my intended use. I have a sleeping platform behind the drivers seat with storage underneath. It's all a work in progress, for now getting the dc to dc charger hooked up is getting most of my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Van seems easier to customise. Vans are somewhat easier to find [used] but I needed the seating and wanted windows. For me, electric windows are a "mixed blessing". Too fussy to get "just right" and I worry about my cat hitting the controls accidentally - rear can be locked but not the fronts & he likes to 'investigate' everything when parked.

I hear you about the information. I have been here about a week, and know far more about the "new" van than I ever did about the one it is replacing.

Fifty150 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just this weekend, a person went to change the oil, and could not find the filter. I guess that is why these forums exist. Every once in awhile, on car forums, you actually get someone who works as a tech on that type of vehicle. Or someone who is an engine or transmission builder. But the best is when regular people share their creative solutions. Like the guys who installed cameras on the rear trim panel to overcome the van's blindspot. My favorite camera install, as far as being creative, is Doc Hoy putting cameras on his door mirrors, then installing the monitors on the dash next to the A-pillars, so that he can still instinctively turn his head towards the mirror.

WillMartin Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Absolutely. That's the kind of brilliant thinking that seems completely obvious once somebody thinks of it. But, it took a really creative person to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I agree - Makes perfect sense to me. I can easily and clearly see both of the A pillars in our van while looking straight ahead without turning my head at all, but you do have to take your eyes way off the road to see either mirror Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Too bad we don't have some kind of award to recognize his genius with. On that note, I still want to taste his "She Crab Soup". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
