Thanks for the painting/powder coating details! It looks like you're on to another project... I look forward to hearing more. If you have some time in-between projects, I’d like to hear more about your Espar heater setup. Is the passenger area heat similar to when the engine is running? Is...

There's an image below that describes the window shade in more detail. The Inverter is a Wagan Elite 400W Pro #2601. I really like it. It's pure sine which I needed for my laptop and is very quiet (aside from a loud beep when I turn it off). The fan only runs on really hot days after...

Great build! I really appreciate the attention to detail. Something to aspire to on my next project. It looks like your bumper and grill paint has lasted well. I've read all sorts of methods for painting chrome, but would like to hear about your process.

The water system diagram is below. Note that I have two filling options. Both use one of the outlets as a fill line. However, when I was traveling in Mexico I was always filling from the 5gallon deposit bottles so the second fill option allows you to suck them dry.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Once I started sewing, I couldn't stop... Here's a bug screen that fits over the tailgate.

This forum has been helpful for me. There are so many great ideas out there! Anyway, I thought it was time to share my project. I picked the Previa for my build because I wanted a small maneuverable vehicle that would work well for daily driving and activities as well as camping expeditions...
