Camper Van Conversion: Part Two

   It's done! That is, it's as done as it's going to be for this Circus Stella tour. We're going to enjoy the van this season and then decide if there's more to be added.

Mabel may or may not sleep in my nook!

   The van is insulated and solar powered with LED lighting, floor ventilation and an exhaust fan to keep it cooler on the inside than it is on the outside! There are 7 beds, one for each dog and bunk beds for us humans. My inner child is thrilled with this arrangement. We've already spent several nights in the van when otherwise we'd have had to buy a hotel room. It's great to sleep directly next to our circus show, so we can be sure our things are secure overnight.

   The Nissan NV 3500 is a beast capable of hauling 9,400 pounds. Our long term plan will see it doing just that. For now, we'll continue to tour in our 5th wheel trailer and diesel truck with the van as a second vehicle to transport the dogs. Trailers don't last forever, so when it's time to trade in, we'll downsize to something the van can tow and we'll be back to a one vehicle touring show. At least that's the plan.

Here's our van build video part two! If you missed part one, it's in this post, go back and check it out!

I'll have one more van post before this series is complete. In the interest of sharing information and helping other people who might be considering a similar project, I'm working on a complete tally of how much this conversion cost; from the price of the van down to the price of the last screw!
