The Scariest Day of the Entire Van Build!!

In what is likely going to be by far the scariest day of our van build, we cut a 14" x 14" hole in the roof of our Ford Transit to install a MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe. The fan is capable of 10 different power settings, as well as both air intake and air exhaust modes, and comes with a built in rain guard so the fan can be used in all weather conditions. This fan is going to be PERFECT for us so that we can cook in our van without having to worry about the buildup of moisture and/or dangerous gasses. The installation didn't go perfect, as nothing in van build ever seems to, but we are thrilled with the end result.

The van build will continue next weekend with what is undoubtedly the most debated part of every van build - the insulation. We have chosen to use a combination of materials, but predominantly one that we think gives the best cost/insulating value tradeoff, while not off-gassing or polluting the air around us.

We are a couple of full-time travel dreamers who decided to pack up our lives to explore the world - and then 2020 happened. After flying back home, we were not ready to give up our new lifestyle yet, so we bought a minivan, converted it into a DIY minivan camper, and drove across Canada in search of beautiful campsites and stunning mountains to climb. We are currently on a different sort of adventure, converting a Ford Transit cargo van into our new full-time home on wheels in hopes of exploring North America and conquering more mountains - and hopefully even the Arctic Ocean!
