Thanks for this information. I think it might be easier for us to just continue to put the kayak inside the van while driving, which is what we’ve been doing

I’m very impressed with all the work you have done on your van and find your blog very helpful! Thanks for sharing all that information!

Thank you! We are constantly debating whether to sell it and build a new one (it’s turning 18 years old now!), or stick with the devil we know. If I find a way to convert it to 4WD, odds are very high that we will stick. But that’s a totally different thread.

I look forward to reading about the 4WD conversion! It would be a shame to sell after all the work you have done.

That was a big “if” in my post above - I don’t know that we can do a 4WD conversion.

And I have not yet done the deep dive required to find out. Right now we are focusing on finishing out our RV garage rather than working on our van project backlog. We live in Houston, it’s currently January, and if we don’t jump on the basics of adding insulation and rudimentary climate control, what’s going to happen is that the seasonal heat will descend upon us like a predator and will restrict our ability to work in there.

We are approaching the situation the same way we did with our last garage at the previous home we sold - we don’t need residential-grade HVAC, but we also don’t need it to be 122 degrees on the inside surface of our west wall (which is what I measured one day in September). There’s a happy medium of SOME cooling and SOME dehumidification that will allow us to function.

The good news is that we are making steady progress, and I hope to get a lot accomplished in approx. the next month.
