Finally get to doing an van small door interior, upgrade.
.
I was easier then I had thought.
-Only had to more 1 clip over to a pre drill hole
- Had to move a screw to another hole
.
The electrical are the same as any new Ford truck (as well as vans)
.
I will get these later from a buddy junk yard. But for now the old ones just hanging out.
.
The sad part is they don't hold as much.....

Yes, i was a "camp host" for over 4 months, (2024) 
.
that's what prompted me to do upgrades that i may not have done if i was staying 1-2 week at a time.
I have a medium size oven, way easy for 'cooking' rather then eating out or grocery run every day or so.
The antenna, that i did that in the camp ground. Night and day difference.
I painted it, Rustolium (sp) grey
Got baskets everywhere to hold stuff... (stuff = long term shit)
I figured out how i like to dishes, 2 tote bins, tried different ways, still here.
I added an standard outlet vs a single out.
Fixed my table and put so addjects to level it up..
Raised my trash bucket up, to make more room for shoes......
Hod to cut notches into my step, so it can straddle a 8"x8" log used for parking areas.
Made a tin roof over i cook outside. (brake down and stores inside)
Did some maintenance on the motor, some heat shield, for the new intake setup.
I rewired the Victron so it could receive 30 amps/120v, (10ga wire) [New outlet, new cable]

As I said in the post, it can be messed up gears, flood, bad brakes etc
[As long as its straight]
$ / value

In the mean time, i got 6 225/70R19.5 ~2 years old, plenty of tread.
This my first endever in to 19.5 (aka commercial) tires.
Actually I do like them.
I was worried about weight, but they are ~10# more than what i have.
