I was going to recommend going up to 265/75 or 285/75. Maybe it's a good excuse to make your van not stock anymore :)

In addition to the RVIA sticker requirements, there's a definition of "RV" or "motor home" that varies by state. You can look up your motor vehicle code and see how they define it specifically, but...

I'd think the different A-pillar angle would make it awkward, even if it was close.

I used a Mob Armor MobNetic phone mount and tucked it in next to the base of the A-pillar. Looks better (to me)...

I think it's about time to replace my HID bulbs as well. Scott, is it possible to retrofit my current headlights and projectors with your new LEDs, or is this a complete replacement?

I made a couple of tie-down points as well, and they turned out even better in real life than they were in my head.

Sure!

I designed it mostly in Fusion 360. I laser cut a few prototypes to get the fit right (though to be fair, one of them was basically just fancy pegboard). Once I got something I was happy...

I don't have an RB van, so I'm not sure how much room you'll have to work with in front of the pop top. Can you measure along the drip rail, from the front corner of the drip rail back to where the...

My main motivation was a more solid place to anchor the front of an awning I’m installing. Besides that and the camp lights already on it, I’m planning to mount antennas, and probably my traction...

Low profile roof rack!

After looking for a low profile roof rack that would fit in front of my penthouse top for years I finally gave in and made one myself. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out 🙂

If a Transit might be in the cards, I’d talk with MG / Expo Vans. I know they were working on a 4x4 conversion for the Transit, so buying a stock van now and planning to convert later might work?
