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)...

Another update I made to my 2018 Express DIY camper conversion is in the mounting of my GPS. The dash on the newer Express vans has several storage pocket on it. I used the top pocket for my GPS mount. I cut a chunch of 2x4 pine to fit in the space by sanding it down until it fit well. Then I covered it with sticky-back felt and mounted one of my GPS mounting clips to it with screws. The felt made it fit snugly so it does not fall out when I drive. It works well for me.

Not one to leave things well enough alone, I had to make a mount for my Apple iPad too because there was a 2nd pocket on the dash. I did the same thing, making another chunk of 2x4 pine that fit into this pocket and covering it with sticky-back felt. The holder for the iPad was one I picked up on Amazon.
