If fire starts in the middle of the night, I have had a hammer nearby to shatter a tempered glass side window. It would be nice to have a bail out ring to open the rear hatch in a, uh, thermal emergency. We were taught in the Scouts way back when to keep a knife handy to "open" the tent if necessary.
I've put a handle on my back hatch, I left my camera at work but I took a couple pictures to show what i did.
How to connect the cabinetry to the van? I am considering bolting a sheet for plywood to the floor, covering the entire back cabin, then using L-brackets and crewing them into the plywood, and maybe just bolting to the ceiling?
Also, I plan to modify the a swing gate off of a blazer, or a trailblazer and mounting my propane to it, and if i can fit it, my spare tire as well.
