Anyone on here successfully living the van life?
I'm looking at getting a van and converting it into a camper van by the end of the year.
Rob Heule has a sick van:

snowpocalypseThe kind of girls that come back to the van, are questionable at best.
SessionWell, depends where you van it. In the mountains?Well you're already fishing in a stagnant pond. However I have a friends who does the van life thing on the beach, and it's a diferent animal altogether.

khai@krepelaAs a van owner I beg to differ...
SessionI imagine being a pro skier doesn't hurt. it probably steps you up from the common snow wookie.
TheBigAppleI would never even consider asking a chick back to my van lol

Mr.BishopSeriously... I had many a quality female in my old van.
TheBigAppleHmmm, well now that I know this is possible
El.MakrellCurrently living out a dodge ram van which works out pretty great. Even though it's not made for the mammoth april snow storms when it's like 15F..
Fancy inside with a DVD player...if you take out the seats you'll have plenty of space to live! good tires and a bit higher clearance is always cool to get to remote sleeping spots.
Selling ours by the end of our trip mid June btw ;)

My baby :') Not a ton of frills because I don't live in it full-time, but it gets the job done for long weekend demo trips. Question for Bishop and anyone else with experience: where/how did you pull power for a TV, videogames, etc without killing your batteries?

Mr.BishopThat thing is freaking beautiful!

Mr.BishopSweet!
El.MakrellCheck the interior... Always sick to wake up with a view ;)

Mr.BishopThink about going to parties. Even if you're not traveling in it, you just park on the street and you have your own room outside.
I had an OG NS, SNES, VCR, TV, sound system, etc in mine too. Obviously you'd use more modern stuff now, but it's fucking rad to have a portable bedroom you can drive around.
pow_pow~coming from aus and doing a trip from colorado to cali, any tips on renting a van?
strayln_SkierAnyone have a 12 volt boot dryer?
50KalYeah I got one of these. A bit paronid though about draining the battery in the van. I have just regular car battery.

strayln_SkierYeah nice. I would only use when the engine is running, so no problem with battery.
Would something like this make much difference in the 1/2 hour drive up to the mountain?
I spose it's better than nothing.
Cold boots suck.
