Just thought I would share what I am doing to prepare living in my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport again. I was living in it for about six months before COVID19 hit. I will keep updating thsi tread as I go along. I am losing my housing again so back in the van, but this time I am more prepared. The van was owned by a heavy smoker before me, and there was a leak from the back rear vent window, so the car smelled like mold old smoke. So I ripped out all the carpet from front to back. After I cleaned everything I put an ozone bomb in it and it worked great. I have some Jute I will lay down on the floor and then put some cheap carpet form Home Depot to put over that. I already have some vinyl plank flooring that I was using and that will probably go over under the bed frame.

But today I finished my sectional bed frame which is a major upgrade from sleeping on my cot. Proud of myself because I have to do this all with an illness.

 

I installed the Jute and Carpet this weekend. Came out pretty nice, all for about $100. The Jute cost $70 and the indoor/outdoor carpet cost $30 at Home Depot. I did not bother gluing it down. If I did it again I would have put down another layer of 27 oz jute or buy the 40 oz.

 

HI, I like it. I'm planning to get an SE and set it up for camping.
