Everything you can imagine is there; just in small form.
Here are some pictures and details. When you see us, ask for a tour.

The Oregon Scientific WMR-90 weather station monitors the wind, humidity and temperatures outside the van, inside the van, in the refrigerator, in the pantry and other places.* Office drawer is above the pantry drawer, which is opened here*
The Board Room is under the couch/bed.* We spent 10 nights at home in Phoenix on our kitchen floor engineering the bed, and ended up with a bed that was more comfortable than our real bed and acts like a Sleep Number bed from Select Comfort - only ours does not adjust. The mattress is one inch firm foam on top of a semi-inflated four-inch self-inflating air mattress. A wide bed is not necessary for tossing and turning, as this bed eliminates pressure points. The firm foam is not quite as cushy as softer foam, but makes for better sitting on the bed as a couch when we are working in the "office." The best covering can be sewed up from a flat twin-bed-sized knit sheet. A fitted twin knit sheet also works, but needs a little twisting and tweaking. Photo by Louis Self A carpet non-skid mat keeps the mattress from scooting around while driving. A folded queen-sized comforter rounds out the couch. Depending on the expected low temperature, at night we can sleep on top with nothing on but the ceiling fan, under only a beach towel, under one layer of comforter or under two layers.
To the left is all the kiting equipment and in the background, top-to-bottom: closet, linen shelf, emergency road service box beside the gym bag, tool box & long-term storage bins. The white wet bin among the kites accommodates sandy and wet harnesses, pumps etc.* RUNNING WATER is in the blue jerry can. Six gallons lasts about ten days.* This little $10, 12 V submersible water pump was added to a modified jerry can to provide running water. No more getting out of the van to fill water bottles. We're either getting lazy or getting smart! The gray one is our second pump. The blue one lasted 6 years, from January 2010 to January 2016, until it became waterlogged, rusty inside and froze up. Ready to press the red button and fill my water bottle. This square bottle (by Hawaii Water) doesn't roll around the van and fits efficiently into its water socket. The convience of a single-stream shower outside for rinsing off feet and equipment while conserving water. it all is the latest in battery technology.

It is a real refrigerator, uses very little battery power and takes the place of about 1100 pounds of ice on our spring trips. We maintain 35° F in the top and 42° F in the bottom, except in the heat of the summer we increase the temperature by about five degrees to extend the running time on our In the same space that used to be occupied by two super-insulated ice chests, we now have the new refrigerator and the office and pantry drawers. The refrigerators come in various sizes. Here is some information for the current model like we have, available at Beverage Factory. This and other portable refrigerator/freezers are available in various sizes from Compact Appliance and My 12 Volt Store. : Back in the spring of 2002, ours was the typical windsurfing minivan stacked with boards and stuffed with sails;
After selling all our windsurf stuff at the end of our first Hatteras trip, our winter project was remodeling the van. Cloudy headlights can make a vehicle look old before its time. We wet sanded the plastic lenses using progressively finer abrasive paper (400, 1000, 2000 grit) and finished off with Mirror Glaze plastic polish. We maintain them with Scratch Out from KitWax.
