PPS I saw in one of the pics you have/had a Honda Element. We had 3 before our SMB and loved them. The E-Camper is what drew me to the SMB in the first place!

E277: yes, I need my head examined.......apparently I have no life.......
.......a zillion and counting, and at my normal billing rate I could've bought a fleet of SMBs, but I suppose that's not really the point, or at least I keep telling myself that.........
I'm also proud of the GF; if you see a pic with girly hands in it, they're hers, not mine....
Still have the Element, it's a 2003, bought it new, best car I've ever owned by miles. Has everything I need and nothing that I don't need. My only gripe is that I wish the gas tank was larger. Initially the top of the steering wheel interfered with my view of the gauges (I'm 6'1"), but some creative milling of the tilt mech fixed that.
Made a fair bit of progress today, got the rear corner shelf thingies mounted and wired and made a trim piece for the rear section between them, in front of the rear doors. I used a leftover piece of original SMB grey velour for the trim piece, recycling!
I have LED map lights mounted to the bottom of the cubbies; I also plan to fabricate and mount some fixed down-firing LEDs to the bottom of these as well....it's never ending.
The rear AC vents work great; they are the factory vents from the headliner with their flanges milled off and attached to the front panel with VHB tape.
Here are a few pics:
