Crazy idea time:
I’m thinking in this plan to build as I go.
I will have an initial support from some family members- a driveway and some garage space and a bed. I am thinking I will build the frame and do insulation on the van in the driveway— or at least the frame and floor.
The bed in the cab will be rather high, leaving a large “garage” under it.
I’m thinking I should turn that garage into a workshop by putting in some slides like people put in the back of trucks, and then on the slides put a chop saw and drill press.
So these will slide out of the back of the Van, then effectively the slides become Charlie horses and I can work on the van as I go.
My travel tendency is to go somewhere nice, spend a day running around or hiking, get ticketed out and spend the next day chilling.
These chilling days would be perfect for puttering around the van- building cabinets and the like.
I should have a bunch of space for materials storage in the early days before things are filled out much.
So I’m thinking of building on the road.
Thinking with just the bed I can get by...
