VAN GOOD TIME
IN THE BEGINNING:
The VAN started as a blank slate in the fall of 2013. The intention was to convert it to a two seated motorcycle hauler and thats how it stayed for a year. A loud, rattling, metal box that was too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
PHASE 2: EXPEDITION RIG
Phase 2 began when I decided to do some extended solo traveling. I needed the VAN to be a self-sufficient, self contained, off road capable, mobile home.
Auxiliary power, water, storage, a fridge, 4WD, and a bunch of other bells and whistles were added to round out the quick build.

This was my bed for 2 months and I've never slept better. Although a hammock is a great solution for an individual, it is not so great for two travelers.
A better, more camper-like setup will be necessary for Phase 3.
