Mike,
looking good on the shower and nice quick connections setup, but if you keeping adding things you will need to add extra springs LOL :)
Just driving the van around to keeping the battery charged up while I'm giving the SUV a good cleaning with a wax job.
I'm still waiting for my seat swivel and they said it would be April 8th so I'm going to call them to check on it's status.
I ordered a 5 watt solar panel to put into the window to keep the battery charged up when the van is setting and not going anywhere soon.
As soon as this virus things is over and they open up things I'm going camping.
I probably would have needed to add extra springs on my old 2001 1500 Express van, but since I upgraded to the 2018 Express that only comes in a 2500 or 3500, I think I can add a lot of stuff without getting into any trouble.
I know the feeling of waiting for things. I ordered some new window screens that will slip over the doors like a sock to keep the bugs out. They allow you to raise and lower the windows while they are on. I had to order the large size for my van and I am still waiting for them to ship sometime in the middle of April. I am not worried because I will not be doing much camping but look forward to using them in the summer. We can still camp here in our South Dakota state parks and campgrounds but they do not have the showers and comfort stations open due to the shutdown. But by the same token they have waived the daily use pass because the offices are not open to collect the money for them.
I rigged up a small solar charging unit for my van too. The controller I got for it also has USB plugs so I can use it to charge phones and other devices. My needs are rather simple so I don't need a big roof mounted megawatt solar charger. I put the van on a trickle charger in the garage when I don't drive is often. Keep working on your van, post pictures, and happy camping!
