Hey FTE,

I'm doing the electrical work on my van that i decided to convert for camping. Anything you all could recommend? I know it's not that important, but if anyone has an opinion, i'd listen. Thanks

 

pinterest has many great ideas. A couple of years ago I started a thread for camper van ideas then Photobucket decided to extort money from long time members and many of the pics were lost but still dome good ideas and videos there.

I have been wanting to convert mine for around 3 years now. Originally I was thinking I wanted something similar to a small motor home. I think now though that I would build it a bit more suited to my camping needs... An example might be, am I going to live full time in the van or camp out of the van? I would be camping so do I need a permanent built in kitchen or perhaps a chuck box that could be used inside the van if it was bad weather but taken outside in good weather.




Do I really want running water or something simple that I could use inside during bad weather as well as outside at the camp?





So I guess a lot depends on just what you want and how you will use it. What do you think you might want? If you will be camping outside a lot then perhaps you should focus on what to pack and how to store it while still having room for a functional camper during bad weather. If you have a lot of stuff then you might want to think abut a small enclosed trailer to carry some of your belongings. My son and I went camping for 2 weeks at a mountain site that had a lake and bathroom with no shower. We had the van packed full. once we got to our camp site we put up tarps and began unloading and organizing camp. After that we were only in the van to rest or sleep so all we needed was the beds, lights and card table!

Now if you plan on living in the van full time then w are talking a different creature..
