Do it Yourself!

We drove from Florida to Alaska in a mini-van that we semi-converted.

After watching lots of Youtube videos on how to build a platform bed this one worked the best for us.

Other main items for conversion & daily use were:

• Microwave from Home Depot

• Bodega 12v 53 quart refrigerator

• Jackery 1000-Watt Generator which plugs into your car & powers everything

• We built a shelf for the Jackery & microwave using wood & screws from Home Depot

• We sized the platform to fit this folding mattress

• We left about 11"under the bed & labeled 10 clear bins from Walmart where we stored food, clothing, medicines & all of our travel needs

• See other items on the "Packing" & "Modifications" pages

• We since bought a Winnebago Travato 59KL van that we love, but the mini-van was a good test for us to see how we liked being on the road
