nice work! Any progress on the interior?

Thanks! I'll have to track one down

That's a good looking van Chris! Its always nice to see non white vans on here. Good luck on your build!

Aside from the color mismatch, the monstaliner looks pretty good. I've been looking for a DIY option.

Here's what it looks like on the passenger side and how I used hose clamps to attach the awning.

The rack is a Thule 300 that mounts for gutter rails. Locks in pretty solid. I like the design a little better than the Yakima style. The cross bars are 65". The awning is a generic 2.5x3m off eBay. I used 2 hose clamps on each bar to attached the provided L brackets. I also just got a Rhino...

That's my plan. Making the benches long enough to sleep on and the table fills in the center for when its the wife and I. Due to the side door, the passenger side bench will need to have some sort of fold out portion.

Hmm tall and skinny(inch narrower than 265s)... I might have to go that route also!

For the most part, I only use water in my reservoir so I rarely clean them out. When I do, I fill with some hot water and just a little soap. I blow into it the hose to inflate. Then shake the soapy solution around. Empty and refill to rinse, repeat. To dry, I stuff paper towels in and inflate...

This is what a bunch of other people are running. Thanks to 86CJ for posting this in the GM Full size AWD van info thread.

I ordered one on Amazon the other day that should be here soon. http://www.amazon.com/Luminoodle-Portable-Lantern-Waterproof-Emergencies/dp/B0198VDWPQ I looking forward to trying it out. I'm planning on using it for lighting on my awning. The power pack can be charged while driving. They're on...

Not a whole lot of progress on the interior. I did pull out the crazy, file cabinet-thingy I did get a Thule roof rack set up and an awning on also All the insulation material (ended up with Thinsulate) is in, I just haven't found the right combination of time and warmer weather for the work.

Okay, here we go: Stowed 9ft out, 8ft wide the attachment pin to the frame weird, rubber bumpers. not sure why they're on there. They were so firm in the frame, I had to pry them out. Frame on the base This is what I bought...

I was wondering about a temp gauge also. I'm considering changing the rear view for one that has the temp/ compass option like this: http://www.amazon.com/CIPA-36500-Dimming-Rearview-Temperature/dp/B00029WSX6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1460413741&sr=8-3&keywords=temp+rear+view or this guy has the...

I got a bunch of pics, but apparently you can't post pics from the ExPo app so it'll have to wait until I'm home.

Ended up getting that 2.5x3m awning on eBay. Mounted it up this weekend and its not horrible but the quality isn't up there with Rhino Rack or ARB. We'll see how it holds up.

Glad you were able to find one! Depends on what you're plan is, but it looks like grinding out the rails is a major PITA. I plan on leaving mine in as I'll be keeping the middle seat bench in most of the time. With the design in the rear, the benches will either cover up the rail or be pretty...

Ha! Another jeeper convert.there's a bunch here.

I was quoted $950 here for Rhino lining!! I need to shop a few other places.
