John, you….
Sadly no such thing here.. nearest real culture is at least 100 miles away.
maybe in a future life?
Maybe once I get this van built, I can do this stuff Mobile! Tested the new bluetti- it can handle small power tools! Hmmmmm

Also going to take a closer look at replacing the ceiling.. learned there was no insulation up there..
Now how to do that with no budget…hmm

I used beadbord in my van.
Insulation was foam board. I found a supplier for vinyl that sells marine grade materiel. My headliner will end up costing about $40.

I was GOING to put the vent cover on yesterday (yeah, had one in the shed…)
Got all the things ready.. got up there, put it over the vent, and discovered it had a gaping crack! NO
New plan- fix vent cover.
So used adhesive and tape (to “clamp” it together for 24hrs)
Then some eternabond tape on the inside for good measure.
That should hold for a while…

RE: Code name “Baby” - GypsyDogs - 03-10-2023
Thanks
I try to adhere to my old “do something every day” rule. So I feel like I am making progress… lol
Still need to finish the floor (weekend project) and pull the ceiling down (also a weekend project) and I work half of the weekend.. so I think I will focus on the floor First.. that way it is done and out of the way. I pretty much have all the things I need.. just need to get the tools and stuff out -

Today’s thing-done
RE: Code name “Baby” - GypsyDogs - 03-11-2023
Yay! Passed inspection!!
But really need new (not almost 30 yr old- heat baked) headlight assemblies…
Currently, part of the adjusty bit that holds the whole thing in is made of zipties..because there are bits broken off, one side doesn’t have a retaining ring, and they are REALLY hazy/brown
