Is the van done? No.
Is it close to being done? Not really.
Did we take it camping anyways? Yes, we did!
We decided to take the van out for the night camping at a private campground. My sister and brother-in-law have a lot there, so if something went terribly wrong we wouldn’t be stranded.
The kayaks fit perfectly on the modified ladder rack. Tim is a genius when it comes to modifying and manufacturing things for the van. Our drive to the campgrounds was uneventful aka perfect.
Other take-a-ways from the trip:
zero regrets on leaving all the windows and having less storage. I absolutely loved being able to look out and see the river and trees from all directions.
We can actually fit a lot of stuff in the van. I was worried that all the kayak gear would take up too much room but I was surprised to discover I have room for more shoes, I mean camping gear.
It rained and nothing inside got wet! Van life is so much better than tent life!
Maybe this crazy idea to take a van from the wrecking yard, fix it up, and turn it in to a camper van wasn’t so crazy after all.
