Scary Roof Hole (9/8/20)
One of the most important features of the van is the roof vent/fan. It’s a deciding factor, actually: without it, I’d probably get heatstroke in the summer. My brother (whose help and whose driveway/garage space/tools were crucial throughout all of this) helped me install the fan. We had to cut a hole in the roof and it was terrifying. I don’t have good pics of the vent/fan installed, but here is the scary roof hole with a scary forest fire sun. (It was only around 5pm when these photos were taken -- the light was so weird!)
