It is November here in South Dakota and I am still getting out with our camper van. No snow and nice weather, although it has been getting below freezing at night. I have noticed a weird phenomenon this fall. The lilacs are blooming in November! See in the picture below in the upper center and upper right corner.
The latest modification to my camper van is the addition of a tissue dispenser box on the screen door wood from near the side door. I mounted it on the outside of the screen so I don't have to go in to access it. It has proven quite handy. No big modification to my van any more, just minor convenience upgrades.

Freakin awesome! I’ve never seen your posts before. Great ingenuity and execution! And a life most can only dream about being 80 and still traveling with your wife by your side…
On another note, I may actually like the ole Blazer better, but I really like squarebodys, so….

I liked the old Blazer better too, but as we got older it got harder to crawl over the front seats to get into the bed in the back. So we finally decided to go with the van for more room. With the seat swivel on the passenger side, that gave us even more room on the inside of the van. That old Blazer took us to the east coast and Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine to Mt. St. Helens and the Redwood Forest in Oregon and California on the west coast. The only trouble we had with it was a blown alternator about an hour outside of Alamagordo, New Mexico when we were visiting the Very Large Array telescopes and White Sand Dunes National Park.
