My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

Today's modification to the Chevrolet Express camper van was to add a switch to the wire leading from the driver's door to the multi-function alarm under the dash. When we are vacationing, I often pull over and get out of the van to take pictures without shutting the engine off and pulling the keys so my wife can still enjoy the AC or heat. When ever I do this the annoying buzzer sounds because the door is open and the keys are still in the ignition. Using my copy of the GM shop service manual, I located the alarm buzzer. I had to remove the dash instrument trim panel to access it. I disconnected it and added jumper wires to each connection so that I could isolate which wire came from the door switch.

Once I located the correct wire (green wire in the wiring harness to the alarm) I cut it and added a switch so I could have the door alarm on or off when I was getting out a lot.
Switch for alarm mounted under the dash. It is much less annoying now when I want to quickly get out and snap a picture or two. My wife appreciates it also.
