https://www.modulinecabinets.com/ It was a little pricey, but the fit was perfect. It matched the depth of my Adrian Steel shelving unit, my water tanks fit snug inside, and after trimming the flange, there was just enough room for my sink/stove.

I have a Shopbot Buddy with a 4ft x 4ft table. It's not super precise, but it has been reliable.

Seriously... this goosneck tablet holder is one of the best things I've EVER purchased. It's super easy to position my tablet, whether I'm eating dinner, or watching a movie in bed.

Thanksgiving in Santa Barbara. There are plenty of beautiful places to camp for free.

I'm afraid I haven't started on the rack yet. I think it will be a pretty quick project, but first I need to get my glider out of the shop, and it's taking longer than I'd like. Let me know what you do for your rack!

Work is slow at the moment, but I'm finding time to work on the glider! I made myself a new blank instrument panel and I can't wait to cut some holes. I ended up clamping the old panel to a sheet of waxed glass. From the back side, I fiberglassed over all of the holes. After a little sanding...

Here's a sketch of the roof rack. I was trying to choose between Alurack and Vantech: Alurack: The crossbars attach to a T-slot on the side rails. Accordingly, they can be moved forward/aft to miss my roof vent and such (Yay!). However... the crossbars don't have slots, so it would be annoying...

That's too bad to hear! Fortunately, the loaded trailer is only around 2,000 pounds, but I will need to tow it over the Sierras often.

I recently purchased a retired NASA motorglider from a government auction. It will take me a few months to get her flying, but it's also time for some van changes. I'm going to need to haul a lot more equipment and gasoline for my upcoming soaring safaris. I decided to order a massive aluminum...

I'm using the TRUE Smart Battery Isolator: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00400IYTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's solid state and I haven't had any problems with it.

Everything is so BIG in the US, so I ordered a small sink/stove combo from Grassroutesleisure.co.uk It's the CAN 1 Burner Hob/Sink Combo, FL 1323 It was a couple hundred brittish pounds, including shipping. The aluminum cabinet came from modulinecabinets.com. It's a wall cabinet, so it's open...

Update on the Camp Pro Wifi Repeater: The first unit was defective. The router frequently lost connection with the modem and kept me very frustrated! The vendor rushed me out a free replacement and this one is working fine so far. I'm currently working in my van and my laptop sees ZERO networks...

I made some rear window screens for improved ventilation... without bugs! I trimmed the frames from 0.040" aluminum and attached the screen material with carpet tape. The screens are clipped to the rubber window molding with plastic clips that I made from scrap J-stock extrusion. I still need to...

There's plenty of room for two pallets or dirt bikes. The bed folds up against the wall and the fridge/freezer slides through the bulkhead door and fits nicely between the front seats.

I finished permanently wiring the Camp Pro 2 and installed switches for the awning light and WeBoost (about to be installed).

I temporarily installed the Camp Pro 2 wifi repeater. I ordered a marine antenna mount and I had planned to make a mounting bracket so that I could attach it to my ARB awning frame. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the mounting holes lined up with the slots on the awning frame! Couldn't...

Comfort: It's very comfortable as a couch and long enough to seat 4. I often have people over for dinner and a movie! As a bed, it's on the soft side but still reasonably comfortable. It's certainly not as comfortable as my home mattress, but I've always slept well. Size: It's enough room for...

It's time to do something about internet! The more that I can work from my vehicle, the more time that I can spend near my favorite climbing/diving/paragliding spots. 1) Cellular Data I'm currently locked into Sprint and the coverage sucks... but I'm going to try the WeBoost Drive 4G-X with...

If you only need to add one battery, GM makes an aux battery tray (https://www.ebay.com/p/GM-Oem-battery-Tray-15017904-03-to-05-Express-and-Savanna-Vans/658093464) for the diesel version of these vans. All of the frames, even the gas-powered ones, are pre-drilled for it. You'll just need to...

After adding more systems, I found it necessary to increase the house battery bank to 160Ah. The batteries are mounted to the frame, on the left side of the vehicle. Because they aren't terribly easy to access, I decided to splurge for sealed AGM batteries.
