    Why do most people do a platform bed instead of a hydraulic bed? Is it just for the trunk area? A hydraulic bed is #1 on my list because it would be very difficult for me to have to convert a seating area to a bed every day, and I definitely want a large seating area. It would be my office and craft area.

    • @travelingatlas
      @travelingatlas  Рік тому

      Yeah for us it was the trunk, and coming home to a bed that was always made and immediately ready to get into was worth the space that you're missing during the day.

    One question
    How where you able to get a vehicle weight slip? In order to have it registered under passenger in NY, any modification that will alter its classification, it requires a weight slip. Im from NY and I’m curious as to where to get a weight slip when doing all the work yourself. This is one of the questions that has been in my head for a while now and when I do get a van I would like to have passenger plates on it. Thank you and sorry for the long question.

    • @travelingatlas
      @travelingatlas  3 роки тому

      If I'm being honest, I think you're over thinking it. The used car dealership gave us passenger plates when we said we were going to convert it - then we just had to put a bed in and a passenger side window to make it legal.

      @travelingatlas  4 роки тому +2

      It's an RV replacement window, I wouldn't really recommend it - it's not really designed for a van. It's too thick, so we had to design a custom frame to put in between the inside of the van and the window to make it fit. It works great, but it wasn't easy.

    Does the butcher block add much weight to the van?

    • @travelingatlas
      @travelingatlas  4 роки тому

      The butcher block isn't light, but I think we saved a lot of weight by using peel and stick floor/tile, and also the shiplap for the walls was very light. It's all a balancing act, but these vans can handle more than you think they can.

      @travelingatlas  4 роки тому +1

      We aren't sure about the actual weight, but I can tell you that after living in it full time for 2 months and driving over 10,000 miles that it's not too much weight - fuel efficiency is essentially the same as before the conversion and it makes it up hills no problem. Thanks for watching!

      @travelingatlas  4 роки тому

      Passenger plates allow you to drive on Parkways legally in New York state, the gas mileage I would estimate is around 16-18 MPG, and the van is 136" WB high top.
