I'd love to see some posts about how you decided on your van and how your outfitting it. I'm considering getting either a van or heck possibly even a Tioga those things seem dirt cheap. I like the Astro's for the MPG however I'd prefer something bigger like what you have.
Yes van life is the shit! I had a police tahoe that I sold and was able to pick this up from an Amish flooring company for a steal only 1500$! It is a 2500 extended with the 6.0 so it is huge and powerful. Begining to build out the interior and will continue updating with the build and our trips! Going to be doing tutorials on how to set up off the grid A/C, running solar, working out of a van on the road as well as walk everyone through the build to completion. Very exctied to get on the road just waiting for my pup Lucy to recover from ACL / Luxating patel surgery. Stay tuned have a lot of content from the past few years on the road I will be uploading
