as others have suggested I too would go with the exped mega 10 or synmat 12. They are both 30" wide and two together makes a queen. At least that way you could have the option of unzipping the bags (which will allow for more restful sleep imo). My wife and I have slept on our exped and big agnus...

YO! That made my day : )

a thought as I pass through : ) OK, not really apples for apples but certainly _one way_ to address not only under-mattress-condensation... BUT bringing the level of a 2" mattress up to par with a pillow top seally. Not having a RTT I can't speak of available height for the mattress when...

HaHa... Ya think!!! Happy New Year, Thom

Wowzer, your build is going great! How did I miss your thread these past months. I'm honored !! If you two find yourself planning a trip to the Oregon Coast during summer months give us a PM. We can show you some fun free dispersed camp areas just south of us near Manzanita. We stay away during...

my wife and I are pondering doing something different from the fiama we currently have on the curb side of our rig. I came across an interesting line of awning rooms that are free standing yet can attach to the rig. Most have front and rear doors. Might be beyond what you are looking for but...

thx for the link. looks like something I might hang on the ridgeline in my hammock. Thom

: ) On the _term_? Yea me too... I occasionally through it out there in humor. And as a wise man once said; "I don't fear death, neither do I cling to life" (OK I saw it in a movie) < < That is close to my take on life. For clean socks (once all seven pair of mine in our adventure rig are...

; ) I cheated. Not on my wife... but I shared with her the advantages of having a Van Conversion over our then TACO build + trailer. . . and told her the van and all its bling could double as her daily driver. She's never been happier with a vehicle purchase. And keeps it stocked with two weeks...

: ) a ramble as I read through some older threads on a day off... and Happy New year to any who pass this way! Chris, I like your thinking on the why of your OP. My wife and I do similar ponderings/crunching with all our bigger (and I, sometimes even little**) purchases. Our decision to get...

Greetings and Happy Holidays and New Year : ) My take on your OP is from ~34 years of happy marriage to a wonderful MacGirlver. When she and I started our camping adventures we had a 1975 FJ40 and Toyota 4x4 mini pu both set up for camping for two. Then the first little one came along and we...

even though our rig has a Fiama in a weather-resistant hard case so is certainly able to be on year round... IF we had something like the ARB or even a FoxWing that we've considered as a swap... the awning would be on year round. Why? Well... because we are spontaneous in our adventures. At any...

classic. THX for the share

I know, I know... bad Thommy... this thread is like ancient of days. But i'm just chillin going through some old reads. I'm glad you went with the interior mounting, hope it is going well. So my ah-ha when I saw the image was recalling a trip my wife and I took a week ago in the van. Out on...

Different/Neighboring state for me here in Oregon, though we do have some similar DMV regs on the books. One thing I found out in our case was that even though our van conversion (started as a commercial van) has all that is required to qualify as an "RV"...the deal stopper for us is that our...

Greetings, Well... I don't remember the offset details but if you have a Les Schwab dealership in your area you could ask them for details on their stock number 292265 Fuel 17 x 9 wheels. That is what they installed and they are still a hot in-stock item for them. Thom

Nothing negative to say about the van or conversion...but do have a never-do-this-at-home-kids memory. Whenever you are utilizing 3M77 spray adhesive in your build process, make sure anyone with _hair_ has a shower cap or similar on. The cost of a shower cap is much less than a make-up dinner...

Nice set up Overland, the dual-side doors are great. If you ever think of sharing the plans for the box/bumper mount let me know. Would be a nice addition to our rig. I've toyed with the idea of the swingaway style boxes but mounting to the hitch would put a damper on our off-road activities...
