I was planning on making my bed go lengthwise, due to this...

I have held off putting something in the back for sort of the same reason. My fold out cot fits pretty good lengthwise. These vans are our personal visions, I think making it comfortable for your use would be the way to go. The more comfortable the more you are likely to want to use it!

my plan is to have a 2 peice mattress. in my case, 35" each is plenty. the rear section is permanant, the front will store on top, but be able to bring forward when the seat is folded down. a mattress topper or heavy quilt should be enough to cover the seam between halves and can be laid across mattress and down front behind seat when not in use. i have detailed plans if anyone needs them but i am 5'7" and measurements would need to be altered for most people.

anytime i'm in the bed my knees are bent and so are hers,lol no i just sleep corner to corner, it works out great and i'm 5' 10''

ANYONE GOING TO THE NATS, ON WEDNESDAY ? I WOULD LIKE TO HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE SO I KNOW WERE THE BEST PLACE IS TO SET UP CAMP,

thurs, nite or friday for me.

YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE DIX, WERES A GOOD PLACE TO CAMP,FROM WHAT PICTURES I'VE SEEN SHOULD I GO IN AND TURN LEFT UP THE HILL ?

You'll have to drive around and see what looks good to you. And look for who you want to park with. I'm hoping to get there on Tuesday

I REALLY DONT CARE WHO I PARK BY, JUST NO BIG CAMPERS WITH THERE GENERATORS RUNNING, I WANT TO HAVE ELECTRIC, I DONT WANT TO PARK WERE I'LL HAVE TO MOVE, I GUESS JUST PLAY IT BY EAR,

I have a other club roping off spots for my club so i have to drive around looking for them the place i was last time sucked . on a down hill. altho the neighbors were nice,,,

No matter where you park you'll meet some nice people. Just look for some early's and I'm sure someone will let you in with them

i figured if i go wed. i should find a level spot with electric and not to far from a shitter, i just thought i would ask, i didnt know if all chevys parked in one place and fords in another and so on, i'll look for some early's and hang out, thanks guys,,

i got me a water pipe to desplay in my hippie van, i hope i dont get pulled over going to the van nationals lol, lets see, 3 cases of beer, bottle of tiqulla, roach clips, water pipe, my hart meds, my pain pills, NOT GOOD

if the pipe and roach clips are clean then there is nothing they can do, but they can take the van apart.

i dont know why they would do that,i look so inocent, yeah nothings ever been used, if they would say anything i'll say there just for show, or i could say its my dads ,,,,

whats a hippie van without a water pipe, its only used for the finest tobaccos,

i fixed up a cool air intake with flex pipe, when i swap the carb. to a 4 brl. i can reuse this air cleaner with a 2 to 4 brl. adapter,

Nice touch Dodge Man! That oughta add about 5-10 horse power from looks alone!

should help with gas millage too,

and thats after using the waterpipe, i gotta get one.... very cool..

my stock air cleaner horn is 2 1/2'' i hade to make a adapter to tighten it up becouse its 3'' pipe, better if you can find a 2 1/2'' one, if you have a stock air cleaner that is.
