Thanks man! I have an account over there, but stopped posting tech stuff... kind of had a falling out with that Gwen lady (Tim is super cool and gets my sense of humor). It's cool now, and I do browse here and there and post the occasional tid bits here and there, but would rather post elsewhere, like HERE and the Pirate board! Broader audience and more overall Toyota driven! These vans are getting more rare and unique so may as well share with a bunch of peeps who don't see them often.
Have been camping and pretty far out in the middle of nowhere in this thing, and it's just getting more and more fun! Few pics of the interior set up and some camping in my area...
Fits a queen mattress set up well and has a bunch of storage compartments!
The van mutt eagerly waits for the next outing.
Have plans for a solar set up, flat screen tv (32") to spool up maps and movies for some rainy fishing days and need to put a fold down cook set up at the back... just a little prep center to make some chow and set the little single burner stove on. The inside is really well insulated and thus far pretty cozy down to 38* with no additional heat source yet (stays at roughly 60`ish in the van (after I run the heater for a bit), but will need a bit extra for when it really cools off.
What have you guys been doing for the interior heat? Electric? Would like to stay away from any open source of flame if possible... no buddy heaters or anything. Was really wanting to try a 12v heated mattress pad but having a tough time finding a queen size. Maybe even a 110v heated blanket on a lower setting just to supplement?
