    The power converter and battery setup is nice. The water system is a great placement as well.

    I was just wondering if I was going to be able to do a conversion on a 3 row seat with the doors. You have made me feel much better. I’m short so I was thinking about running the bed across the back seat in case I loose room with the doors. I’m going to try the sideways bed. And see if I can’t get more room.

    "square body"? Wrong. That is a GMT-400. "Square body" was prior back to '73. Yep I know about the trash 'spoon' levers. I like the 1st Gen (TBI) GMT-400s better. Not a bad rig tho. Good job.

    VERY difficult to watch this video - need a lil practice there Rudy. would love to see your rig if maybe you could do another video and lat your wife or a friend do the narrative and videography. Looks like you prolly have a nice rig there - just impossible to watch this one.

    Yo! Can you give advice on how to remove/remodel the rear AC ducting? In my 98 it seems way too big and not efficient. I'm trying to build out my burban. Any advice you have would be great. Would love to chat with you via email tbh
