Got a new to me van - GMC Savana AWD

[NYCO]

Any chance we could see some pics of the heater install?
I'm curious where you placed it and how it vented.

The most logical place the way the van is set up is under the bench/bed. It's really a tiny heater.

Those wing sides are totally awesome!

Nice rig NYCO. Interior is looking good and the BOR kit (we had one installed on ours too) is a nice addition for sure.

Nice van, I like it!!!

Thanks for the heater info! That thing is tiny, you really could mount it anywhere.
Is that a VW propane tank I see? If not it looks just like one.
I've had a few VW/RV propane tanks that I have disposed of. Always thought I should save them but was too afraid of the age and rust to commit to reusing them. In fact I should look around I probably still have one:sombrero:

It's a new tank, but yea it's probably about the same size as they use on VW vans. We'll see how long a tank lasts when it's cold and the heater is cranking.

I have a van a lot like yours. It's a 2003 Savana 2500 AWD Pro. I'm trying to figure out if it's been lifted. What sized tires do you have on yours in the non-lifted photos?

 

[NYCO]

Tires re 245/75/16. I'd like to get new tires when these run out. Any ideas on biggest I could go? Thinking BFG AT's

Swapped out the Thule towers that I had which were too high. They were the recommended size on the Thule site, but the 5 inch version is plenty tall. Found someone on Craigslist looking to swap for what I had.

265-75-16 with no issues, 285-75-16 rub in the front according to the web..........265-70-17 BFG A/T is what I run, same as a 265-75 -16.......

The only thing better than laying in my bed looking out the window, would be looking out your pop up panels..:drool:

New tires

Got a pretty bad flat that wasn't repairable so figured now was a good time to get new tires. BFG AT 265-75-16

swivel

Added passenger swivel and a battery isolator.

what brand swivel please? looks like the way to go for relaxatin"

 

[agelessGIANT]

Very nice! Really like those tires and they fill up the wheel wells nicely. I wasn't sure if you had your van lifted at first but read back through and see its the BOR lift. As the above poster mentioned what swivels are those? Time to chop that cabinet and put in a sink :ylsmoke:
Looking good!

Awesome rig. I love the pop out panels too.
