Isn't it amazing how everyone constantly ask the same questions over and over? ...like, let's not bother looking at the answers to the other 150 questions.

Its cool that it will make you cooler at night but the extra gasoline you will encounter kinda like the rooftop bins. I think the hybrid models would be cool you could run the vans AC on battery power like the prius. Well this one is new on me. I dont think there are many mini vans with roof top AC. I like that you didnt crowd the inside with a lot of wood cabinetry makes it better looking outback while driving you can actually use the inside mirror. 73

Nice! From the little in-ceiling hooks in my 2003 Chrysler Town & Country, I have looped bungie cords that hold 3 fishing rods & reels, one of which is 7'6" long. Keeps em safe from being broken & out of the way to free up storage space.

Not sure what you mean. We can open the sliding doors on the sides of the Van or we can also open the rear hatch to get at the bed. We removed the middle seats in the van

@thevango-ers5211
@thevango-ers5211 2 года назад
Yes. We made the platform just to slide into the van and put dividers for the plastic bins. It is a heavy piece but we can slide it out with help from our kids and store in our garage when not in use

@shandelebroyles1099 2 года назад
You made your platform too high, trust me. You needed it down closer to your tubs. Also it's gonna be too close to your heat and air unless you can turn it completely away from you. And where's your spare. If it's in the floor, I hope you made the bed so you could access it.
@thevango-ers5211
@thevango-ers5211 2 года назад
I think you’re right. The platform should have been made a few inches shorter. We seem ok with the proximity to the unit although it’s a little like sleeping in a coffin.
@thevango-ers5211
@thevango-ers5211 2 года назад
To access the spare we may need to pull the platform out.
