    Wow! Beautiful build, and the photo that you showed of the mountain landscape is gorgeous. I like that version of the cabinet system and that it doesn’t cover up the window. Looking forward to seeing what else you will share of your travels with your beautiful companion 🌟

    That may be the nicest build I've ever seen for an Element and I think I've seen them all. Nice work. The Element community is praying for your remission and good health.

      Brad, great to see you here. The nitty gritty wasn't pretty, especially given the six-week turnaround on the build to get on the road. See some of that here: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/

    Hi Eric, I do like the build and I hope to copy a few things in the future. Right now I have a full platform with drawers. I think its too heavy after seeing what you and others are doing so next year out it will go. Hope I can spring for the swivel seat too. Im glad to hear you are in remission. Been there done that. The bucket list has grown and Im still around. If you find your way up to the Bend OR area, I have parking nd camping spots on my ranch. Stop by, do some laundry, have a meal and let me give Jack some scratches and he can play with my dogs too. Safe travels.

    I needed a new car, after my old lease was up and I found a 2008 Element on FB marketplace. I was also surprised by the cult following in the PNW (so glad that I am within driving distance of some of these places). Anyway, great build, and hope to the Vanadium on the road someday. :)

      Thanks. I’ve used the EDHBay drawer fridge in a previous build and it performed very well. I’ve have Dometic and ICECO previously, and this fridge matches performance.

    Live your build, i've never been able to get a good answer from those I have asked this question. Maybe you can, with all your add ons do you consider the vehicle top heavy. Also does your engine seem to have an issue handling the extra weight. I've considered the 270 awning but thought it would make the center of gravity one sided.

      The battery system is an EcoFlow River Pro Solar Generator. I picked it up during Amazon Days. What I didn't anticipate was spending a lot of time in the PNW where I've depended more on 12V charging. us.ecoflow.com/products/river-2-pro-portable-power-station

    For Honda to discontinue the Element in light of the enthusiasts, the mods, the utility, the FUN and the ADVENTURES is nearly crimminal. This vehicle is a whole market sector in itself. HONDA - listen up. It's not too late to pick up where you left off and wow the world again. Are you listening?
