    I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. This is one of the best ideas to convert my 2013 Dodge minivan into a camper. I have been watching RUclipsr van living for almost 7 years. It's been 4 years since the passing of my husband to pancreatic cancer. I will now focus on me now. I've already removed the lift from my van already. I need to have one sit and the long sit in the back remove for extra storage. Important essential I must have before I make my move. I'm a senior on fix income so fed up with high rent that continue to go up every year. Forcing so many on the street. I hope to find your information below.

    We have a RoadLoft kit in a ‘22 Pacifica (July). We purchased a refrigerator with a lid that opens from the narrow end - much less hassle to access. Kit was super well made and at the same time lightweight. We have not gone stealth mode yet but love the easy set up at campgrounds and quick exits. Meanwhile we have a great vehicle for hauling people and stuff when we are not camping.

    • @milamsmailbox4502
      @milamsmailbox4502 Год назад

      It is an ICECO brand. I believe this is the size we purchased.
      31.7QT JP30 12V APP Controlled Refrigerator Portable Fridge Freezer
      Ours does not have an app to check on it so they may have added that feature as ours is 1.5 years old. We have had no issues. We did order on Amazon a new power cord for it so the plug head turns toward the side of the van that we keep our Jackery Power station.

    • @milamsmailbox4502
      @milamsmailbox4502 Год назад +1

      We also remove one handle from the ICECO so it fits nicely. We have since thought about adding a small strap using the screw holes for the handle but we’ve not gotten that done yet. When we aren’t using the van we bring the refrigerator into the house and use it for food and beverages when we need overflow room. Has been a nice benefit.

    I know this was posted 4 months ago so I hope by now you installed the kit properly. The table box should connect the front box and middle box. I noticed you had the “linking” hardware still in the drawer. The middle box should have levelling feet so it doesn’t see-saw. And finally the rear two boxes should rest on the back bumper/hatch sill. They shouldn’t be floating.

    • @jballoregon
      @jballoregon 2 года назад +1

      The front boxes that match up against the driver and passenger seat. Do they just float and are only connected to the back unit when the bed is in place?

      The front bench box and small table box (also known as the library) all hook together and have connections to hold them in place. FYI owners kit says to NEVER sit on the bench without the pad in place as the removable lids to the box are not meant to support direct weight.

      Fair. We have friends who have spent months building their vans. A 5-10 minute assembly compared to all of that is probably why these kits are considered "no build".

      @@tysonandrosa it’s called no-build because you don’t make any permanent changes to the van (no holes drilled in, etc).
