It's getting difficult to take photos in the step van now. It's such a small space, which makes it hard to stand back and get shots of everything together so I might start making videos instead.

We didn't like the refrigerator base cabinet from Sunfrost, so that's a new custom one, still in need of some drawers. Got the wall cabinet installed above the toilet and vent put through the wall next to it. That's the same sink and countertop from the old truck, just cut shorter.

The refrigerator had a drain tray under the cabinet but we decided to do something different. John found a beverage holder for a bicycle and installed it with the drain tube going into a bottle. That way we can see when it gets full and easily empty it.

  1. Are you worried about not being able to vent all the "fumes" from the toilet since it is such a small space?

  2. I'm not really worried about it because of the pressure caused by the fan, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

  3. I am currently planning my own mobile home conversion of an Isuzu NPR with at least a 14 box for next summer...your blog is priceless to me. Like you I had an epiphany due to the mountain of debt that plagues me and am looking forward to financial freedom. The amount of information catalogued is worth gold...thank you so much. I read your blog in its entirety and happy to see you guys downsizing considerably. Eagerly awaiting more updates good luck!

  5. Fear not I have subscribed to your blog and will be starting one of my own. I wish however I was the wordsmith both of you seem to be. So happy to have found like-minded people. Your initial project is the closest to what I have in mind compared to any other conversion I have found online.r

  6. Nice! I'm looking forward to hearing your story and seeing what you come up with.

    And thanks, that's really sweet of you to say. Just remember the old saying. A picture speaks a thousand words.

    Your blog posts are priceless. I think when you are all done with the truck and have lived in it for a year or so you should go back and publish everything into a book.

  8. Thanks, Nemo! :) I'd have to do a lot of editing, but perhaps I'll do something like that.
