Faded Jeans Living

van uPDATE

This is long overdue for sure. The van is slowly coming along. Most of the work so far was done by a van builder shop. I’m currently working on moving the electrical so I can build out a bed across the back. I should of had them put it in lower but I just said install it and I’ll move it as I need to …. Ughh learning as I go.

Okay this is where we’re at so far.

Light bar so when I end up in the forest late at night I’ll be able to find a spot to camp.

Rear widow. Tilts so it can stay open if it’s raining.

Canopy for some outdoor space,
450 watts of solar so I can power a fridge or two.
Max air fan. Can blow in or out.
This is my heater and is powered by my gas tank of the van.
All the electrical I need to move and rework. There’s 4 100 amp lithium batteries that are powered by the solar, alternator, and can also be charged by shore power (electric hookup at campgrounds…)

The dream is coming together! It’s definitely a bit overwhelming at times thinking about quitting my job of 25 years, getting rid of everything, selling my house, and taking off on an adventure…but the fear of continuing my life as it currently sits is way greater than the fear of leaving it all behind. I’m ready to blow it all uP. No going back.

I AM THE CREATOR OF MY LIFE – SO ARE YOU!!!

be BOLD,

Dwight

    wowza – you have been busy! always inspiring me, and i’m sure many others. I am sure it does seem overwhelming at times..just thinking about selling my own home and buying land sometimes just dominoes in my head and i have to reign it in…but watching others i know finding their bliss is such a help…good vibes, dude- rock on!
