Re: Van Build about to start....
If you don't mind doing some measurements, that would really help out. I just want to know the depth and height of your box support, and the same for each cushion if that's alright. Thanks!

Re: Dude With Van's First Homebuild
You're welcome!
I am not from Canadia (I like saying it that way), but frequent there and happened to be here and work on my van at the same time.

Re: Van Build about to start....
Cool. So you don't know the brand? I ask because I just got putting mine together and I wanted to know the dimensions. Mine is decent, just not that comfortable as a seat. More for sleeping. But...

I'm not ready to commit to a spot on my van, so I want a magnetic mount as I wait. I'm using a 36" antenna and looking to find a way to place it just above my rear tail light, magnetically. Below...

Re: Dude With Van's First Homebuild

They are by far the best deal I've ever been able to find on the web. $70 for 10 meters and they sell out of California. They are a pretty good...

Re: Insulation questions
For the Floor:
I started with layering with EZ Cool as well as the other bubble foil stuff, I'd suggest EZ since it's easier to work with. I then put down 1/2" of rigid foam, and then 1/2" of...

Re: Dude With Van's First Homebuild
Man, it's awesome when all you have to do it shove everyone's gear in the van without having to break it all down. It just sucks when it costs you $110 to fill up :(
